The incredible Rufus Wainwright is coming to the Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside on Thursday, Oct. 11.

Tickets start at $25 for the show and you can pick them up with way fewer fees from the Fox box office.

Here’s the title track from the his latest album, “Out of the Game.”

And now for something completely different, Midtown was a pop-punkish band out of New Jersey back around the turn of the century. Its members went on to create two distinctly different bands: Cobra “Snakes on a Plane” Starship and Senses Fail.

However, the band’s debut, “Save the World, Lose the Girl” is an album I still put on when I want to remember just how much fun the year 2000 was.
