Sounds Like San Diego: May 16

I don't know about you, but after such a great weekend, I am completely and utterly wiped out. That doesn't mean I'll be relaxing on a couch tonight, however, because there are great shows all around, with the many-layered Joan of Arc playing the Casbah, the psychedelic rock of the Black Angels melting faces at the Belly Up, and the sweet vocals of Matt Alber at Soda Bar. I might opt for the guy with the guitar because I'm feeling pretty mellow, but know that one way or another, I'll be out for another night of live music.
