Don't know what to do tonight? Don't worry, we've got you covered.

' Why do some bands ' like Evangelicals ' give themselves names that make it nearly impossible for them to be searched online? (Girls is the ultimate abuser of this.) Contrary to what the image to the right suggests, Evangelicals makes hazy, upbeat pop with a lot of ever-building climaxes (evangelicals climaxing, hardy har!) It also strikes me as good coat weather music. They're at Kung Fu Necktie (1250 N. Front St., 215-291-4919) at 8 p.m. for $8.

' And then you've got a few other options, depending on where your allegiances lie: There's the Erotic Literary Salon at L'Etage (Sixth and Bainbridge streets, 215-592-0656) at 8:30 p.m. for $8-$10 if you're hot under the collar; a touching reading by Say You're One of Them author Uwem Akpan at the Free Library Central Branch (1901 Vine St., 215-686-5322) at 7:30 p.m. for free; and something about Fishtown jazz at 700 (Second and Fairmount streets, 215-413-3181) for free at 9 p.m. Align with who you will.

Not satisfied? Check out today's listings for more and more and more events.
