But anyway, here and now, millions of years after that little bastard ceased to exist — if ever he existed at all — we've got some pretty solid shows coming up. Tonight you're looking at: Torres' album release at The Basement with BF/GF Sex and Catfish; DBT's Mike Cooley at The High Watt; Megajoos' album release with Penicillin Baby at Springwater; and plenty more. Tomorrow you've got: Trixie Whitley's album release at The Basement, with an in-store at Grimey's before that; Mike Cooley at The High Watt again; Sol Cat's album release with The Weeks at The Stone Fox; Corb Lund with Denney and the Jets at Exit/In; and loads more. Have a look at the rest — compiled by music listings editor Adam "Hypothetical Placental Mammal" Gold — after the jump. Let us know what we missed, and have yourselves a warm-blooded weekend.
