On the very remote chance that you didn't get your fill of music over the weekend, there are some awesome shows tonight. Specifically Thievery Corporation at the Belly Up and Paolo Nutini at House of Blues. Thievery sold out so fast, in fact, that they added a second show on the same night. I've been assured that niether show has been cut short -- they were always planned without openers -- and that the band will perform for the same amount of time for both shows. So early or late, it's going to be pretty great. Meanwhile, at House of Blues, Paolo Nutini returns to San Diego. I recently caught him at Outside Lands, and he not only delivered an incredible set but also upped his game by covering Chvrches after the band pulled out of the festival hours before they were supposed to play. It was great, and this show should be a perfect platform to prove he's got more to give than just "New Shoes."
