It’s that time of the month again! I was on These Days this morning with another roundup of San Diego I Feel Good About. The highlights:

- Bright Eyes is playing SOMA on Tuesday the 8th. The new album is a little alt-country and I like it. And SOMA? Always a good time when you’re surrounded by screaming 13-year-old girls at an all ages venue. Doesn’t make you feel old AT ALL. No siree.

- Aqualung at HOB on Monday the 7th. If you’re like me and never got sick of “Brighter Than Sunshine”, no matter how many times you heard it last year (I’m not ashamed to admit it), maybe you want to go! His new record is quite enjoyable in it’s Coldplayishness.

- The Myth Project II: Sensitive Habitats. Now this sounds fantastic. Created by Patricia Rincon and a team of collaborators, this new work has two different site specific performances over the weekend. If I wasn’t a hysterical bride-to-be with no time and even less sanity, I’d be there. Theatre, circus, dance, video, and visual art combine for a modern take on the relevance of ancient myth. Note: Myth II is the first performance at the Centro Cultural de la Raza since the boycott has been lifted.
