Don't know what to do tonight? Don't worry, we've got you covered.
' There've been more supergroups since the '60s and '70s than you may think (Broken Social Scene, The Dead Weather, Oysterhead), but none seem to embody the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young archetype like Monsters of Folk do. Jim James and M. Ward have always been vocal and lyrical powerhouses, and Conor Oberst has never sounded better. (Artistically or personally. He's way less whiney these days.) They play the Academy of Music (1420 Locust St., 215-893-1935) at 7 p.m. for $40.50-$50.50.
' Meanwhile, the real Monster of Folk, Bob Dylan, is down the street ' in a lesser venue. Dylan's maintained a position in my Top 5 Best Humans of All Time list since I was 13, but I've only seen him once. I'm glad I did, but I don't need to again. Get your fill if you haven't yet at the Liacouras Center (1776 N. Broad St., 800-298-4200) at 7:30 p.m. for $34.50-$49.50.
' And, yes, we told you about the Science on Tap series last week ' but this week's is too geeky cool not to mention. Colin Purrington, an evolutionary biologist at Swarthmore College, will discuss Charles Darwin's legacy. Over drinks. And attendees get free "Charles Darwin Has a Posse" stickers. It goes down at National Mechanics (22 S. Third St., 215-701-4883) at 6 p.m. for free.
