MONDAY, MAY 23, 2011 >>>

1. Catch Swimsuit, Secret Twins, City Center and Olympia's own Calvin Johnson tonight at Northern. It's early, but there's no doubt it will be one of the best shows of the week. Find all the details here.

2. Momenti Rubati fills The Royal Lounge with jazz every Monday. Or, if that's not your cup of tea, find the Volcano's comprehensive South Sound live local music listings here.

3. Today might just be the perfect day to check out the Rainier League of Arts ongoing "For the Love of Art" show at Gibson Gallery. Or if that's not the ticket, find the Volcano's extensive South Sound arts and events calendar here.

4. Dables in Bloom performs at 6 p.m. today at the Mandolin Café. The action is all ages (as always) and there's no cover.

5. DJ Melodica will be all up in Magoo's, spinning the crowd-pleasing "punk, post punk, New Wave, early electronica, garage and more," the people have come to know and love.
