At Neumo's with Jesu and Eluvium! 8 p.m. 13 rattle-yr-bones.

There are some genres I can't really get down with, like extreme hyphy, jam bands, nerdcore, and the more neon side of current Brazilian bands like Bonde do Role. I try to roll with the zeitgeist, but there's always a moment where I think, seriously?

Which makes it kinda weird that I've grown fond of various kinds of metal in the last couple of years, particularly anything on or associated with Hydra Head Records. Not that those bands, like Isis (playing Neumo's on the 14th), have much going in the way of humor. They're just dead sexy. But doom drone guys SunnO))) (who met in Seattle in the '90s) have some cheeky drama going, for sure. Look at those cloaks! Whether this kind of thing is a gimmick or homage, I'm not sure, but it's an act I can appreciate. Because I appreciate shoegaze and Spinal Tap equally.

John Wray's interesting NYT read from last year on the phenomenon of "Heady Metal."

Hall and Oates: Why be just one?
There's a whole pillowcase full of treats tonight- many of which we run down in this week's Short List:

-Instrumental magicians Do Make Say Think are at the Croc

-Sahara-based rebels Tinariwen (also one of Band of Horses' Rob Hampton's favorites) are at Town Hall

-Skylark hosts "Come as You Aren't" featuring local bands doing covers of other bands

-Parts & Labor, Sleepy Eyes of Death and Welcome are at the Sunset

But what we didn't tell you in the Short List is that Havana and Matador Records are hosting a private shin-dig in the "haunted" Havana parking lot with DJ Mama Casserole and a "surprise secret headliner"! Let's see, Matador records. . . who could it be? The festivities kick off at 7 pm with free food, drink and jams. Email graylife.rsvp@gmail.com by 5 pm today should your interest be piqued.
