Of course NBC has to put Leno back at his old slot. Otherwise, who would be our primary source for the freshest Lewinsky and O.J. Simpson jokes? Psych. The Internet hates Leno, because, as Gawker once put it, "he's liked by the olds and people who live in red states, and the Internet collectively tends to shit on anything liked by the olds and people who live in red states." Anyway, back to Planet Nashville. Here are tonight's shows:
Jemina Pearl w/The Ettes & Daniel Pujol at The End. See what that feisty kiddie-punk towhead is up to these days, and maybe even spot Iggy Pop and Thurston Moore while you're there.
Glam Rock Night at Mercy Lounge feat. Matt Friction, Dave Paulson, members of Superdrag and The Shazam & more. They'll be playing all your favorite boa-wearing proto-punk jams from Bowie, T. Rex, Mott the Hoople and more. Plus, it's free! Fingers crossed for some New York Dolls.
Samantha Blanchard Birthday Bash feat. Pete Madison, Kelly Kerr and the Distractions, Streetlight Allstars & The Tunnel Clones at The Rutledge.
Boombox w/This Is Art at Exit/In.
Shortwave Society w/James Wallace and the Naked Night, Lynn Taylor & The Red Caps at The 5 Spot.
Loose Cougar w/Jompson Bros. & White Owls at The Basement.
Kenny and Amanda Smith at Station Inn.
Diarrhea Planet w/Daniel Pujol & Natural Child at Springwater. Natural Child are releasing a tape. Thanks to (former) Intern Lance for catching that one.
Fill us in on anything we missed, and see the rest right here.

Diarrhea Planet, Daniel Pujol and Natural Child are playing Springwater tonight. Natty Child are releasing a tape. $5, 21+.
I'd consider attending the Glam Rock Night if it consisted of Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust & Alladin Sane being played in their entirety. I love me some Bowie.
Damn Tobin, I'd at least swap out "Alladin Sane" for T.Rex's "The Slider." I just hope someone plays a Sparks song. There also better be some Mott the Hoople up in this piece. Also, I'll be especially pleased if someone plays a Jobriath song. Doo it!
