MUSIC - The Numero Group’s Eccentric Soul Review
In April, the Numero Group hosted their first Eccentric Soul Revue at Park West. Syl Johnson slayed and Twinight labelmate Renaldo Domino was there, too. But this week’s performance is no mere encore. For starters, Pastor TL Barrett and his Mt. Zion gospel choir will be stuffed in the balcony of Lincoln Hall, offering funky prayers to the heavens. Few concerts are so rare and lovingly curated. Listen to our podcast with Syl, then hear the man live. Lincoln Hall, 9pm, $30, 18 and older.

SHOPPING & STYLE - Beta Boutique sample sale
Lakeviewers are in luck this weekend as Bucktown’s brick-and-mortar Beta Boutique holds court in the old Ciao Bella space for a two-day sample sale. Expect the same goodies you find at the store, such as looks by local designers including dIETERbeNNET and Lara Miller marked anywhere from 40–90% off. Ciao Bella, 3829 N Southport Ave (betaboutique.com). El: Red to Addison. Bus: 9, 22, 152. Sat 7, 11am–6pm; Sun 8, noon–5pm.

FILM - Johnny Guitar
We’ll admit to having a soft spot for weird overblown Westerns from the 1950s (Anthony Mann, Budd Boetticher…love ’em), but trust us; Johnny Guitar is a crazy-great Western, with Joan Crawford as a saloon owner and Sterling Hayden as a guitar-strumming gin-for-hire. Music Box, 3733 N Southport Ave between Grace St and Waveland Ave (773-871-6604). El: Brown to Southport. Bus: 80 Irving Park, 152 Addison. Fri 6 at midnight, Sat 7 at midnight. Sat, Sun at 11:30am. Regular and midnight $9.25, first daily show $8.75.

NIGHTLIFE - The Goodness
Rude 1 hosts this party to push the hip-hop envelope past the drivel that makes up most mainstream rap these days. Monthly he keeps it real with a mix of high-brow beats and the odd bit of turntablism. This month he’s lined up Edan, whose obscure ’60s rock and psychedelia sampling productions have garnered him quite a following. Lava. 9pm, $10.

THEATER - Silent Nightmare—A Christmas Dirge
What, seriously?! Didn’t you just finish cleaning up yakked-up candy corn from last weekend’s Halloween party? Yep, it’s true: The Annoyance has 2009’s first Christmas show out of the gate. At least it has the decency not to be sentimental; this collection of twisted holiday shorts is for the resolutely tarhearted. Annoyance Theatre, 8pm, $15.

NIGHTLIFE - Basement Jaxx + MSTRKRFT + Modeselektor
On an almost weekly basis, the venerable Congress continues to blow us away with ravetacular bookings in world-class electronic music—everyone from the Prodigy to, ahem, Tiësto has graced its stage. Tonight, it welcomes legendary U.K. dance stylists Basement Jaxx. Almost anyone who’s fallen in love with dance music in the last decade has fond things to say about Basement Jaxx—especially its genre upturning album Remedy. Unfortunately the Jaxx full live show was a bit cumbersome to cross the pond this time around so the duo is going to sate us with a DJ set. Rockin’ Canadian electro team MSTRKRFT will be on hand to blow a few speaker cones, as will Modeselektor, which showcases its impeccable techno and equally sublime live visuals. Local talents Bald E, Jordan Z, Chris Widman and Moneypenny kick off the festivities. Congress Theater. 7pm, $26.50-$50. 17 and up.

THEATER - An Apology…
This weekend’s your last chance to catch Colm O’Reilly in this two-man, po-mo take on Faust. Our five-star review called Mickle Maher’s play “fantastically unique.” Theater Oobleck at Chopin Theatre, 8pm, $12 or pay what you can.

FILM - The Golem
There’s nothing quite like seeing a silent film with a live musical accompaniment. If you’ve experienced it, you know what we mean. If not, you should check out The Golem, a silent about a rabbi’s misguided effort to make a man from clay. Fulcrum Point will provide the music. Chicago Cultural Center, Claudia Cassidy Theater, 77 E Randolph St, second floor (312-744-6630). El: Red to Lake; Orange, Pink, Green, Brown, Purple (rush hrs) to Randolph. Bus: 3, X3, 4, X4, 6, 10, 14, 26, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 151, 157. Metra: Elec Main to Millennium Station. Fri 6 at 7pm. FREE!

MUSIC - White Denim
The Austin outfit’s new Fits has a soulful, irreverent charm recalling Sly Stone if produced by Captain Beefheart. It’s a beguiling blend of Southern boogie à la ZZ Top, Minutemen-indebted frenetic postpunk freakouts and hints of soft rock. Lincoln Hall, 9pm, $12.

COMEDY - Shootin’ the Shit
Art imitates life as TJ Jagodowski and EJ Scott improvise a single scene about two dudes haning out in a bar. Annoyance Theatre, 4830 N Broadway (773-561-4665). El: Red to Lawrence. Bus: 36, 81. 8pm, $8.

Has anyone considered that Facebook can be torturous for those of us too busy or too shy to make time to hang out with our legions of virtual friends? Facebook fatigue has one potential cure in JBar’s Addiction Thursday party tonight, which “honors” those obsessed with Facebook. Partygoers can even drink “The Tag” and “The Poke Me” for $6 each and play Facebook trivia. What these people look like in real life is the most pressing question.

Here are five things to do.

MUSIC - Vic Chesnutt
Chesnutt’s particular genius is in making every detail palpable, every emotion inevitable. Tonight, he is backed by what should prove a fascinating band: Fugazi’s Guy Picciotto on guitar and members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Lincoln Hall. 9pm; advance $18, day of show $20.

THEATER - Calls to Blood
Knowing that the twist that fuels James Asmus’s play, about a seemingly perfect marriage that goes downhill faster than a speed skier, is purportedly based on a real case makes us want to crawl into a hole and never come out again. That the play is both gut-wrenchingly tragic and very, very funny is a mark of the New Colony’s unique outlook. The New Colony at Royal George Theatre, 8pm, $25, seniors $20, students $15.

SHOPPING & STYLE - Manicure and Martini
Nothing goes with a manicure quite like a cocktail. Seven area spas gather to give weary patrons the royal (nail) treatment. Tickets include manis, Champagne, finger foods, one complimentary martini, a chocolate tasting, as well as a head and neck massage. Reservations are required. The Drake Hotel, 140 E Walton Pl (312-787-2200, thedrakehotel.com). El: Red to Chicago. Bus: 145, 146, 147, 151. Thu 5, 5–8pm. $55, advance $45.

NIGHTLIFE - 2020 Soundsystem
The brainchild of 2020 Vision frontman Ralph Lawson, 2020 Soundsystem is a DJ-meets-live act featuring Lawson and labelmates Dubble D and Argentine duo Silver City. Fed up with the typical DJ set and drab laptop live show, Lawson formed the group to enhance his performances and has since headed into the studio with them, releasing two albums that have both been met with generally warm reviews. It performs as part of Vision Nightclub’s new Art of Sound, an ongoing multimedia and events series that showcases progressive electronic music talent as well as live painting and visual projections. Vision. 10pm, $20.

FILM - The Hurt Locker
As part of your early preparation for this year’s Oscars race, check out The Hurt Locker. If this doesn’t get nominations for Best Picture and Best Director, we’ll eat an army-issue helmet. Gene Siskel Film Center, 164 N State St at Randolph St (312-846-2600). El: Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple (rush hrs) to State/Lake; Red to Lake; Blue to Clark/Lake. 8:15pm. $9, students $7, members $5.

As an ex-Virginian visiting the state last month, I found the build-up to yesterday’s gubernatorial election slightly pulse-pounding. The state’s sitting governor, Tim Kaine, was a breath of a fresh air compared to the genteel old-boy-network govs like Chuck Robb we had growing up. Kaine, who had a career in fair housing law, benefited from Bush’s declining popularity and took the state house. But yesterday, things swung back to the right in Virginia where family-values conservative Bob McDonnell won. Just now I googled some background on McD to find out, physically shuddering, that we went to the same university, and worse, he attended my arch-rival high school, Bishop Ireton! As an occasional visitor to Virginia, I’ll only comment on one aspect of McDonnell’s campaign—his plans for addressing sprawl and traffic congestion in Northern Virginia. From what I read, and I find this telling, McDonnell’s feeble answer is more HOV lanes on the highways while his defeated opponent Creigh Deeds envisioned light rail and more mass transit and faced up to the fact that taxes might have to pay for such investment. Virginians are sensitive to the tax issue, evidently. So Virginians may think they are voting for conservative stability but what they really got was a guy who hasn’t a clue how to address the present—much less the future—but knows not to mention taxes, only bonds where fiscal matters are concerned. Well, Virginia, you got your bond-issuing social conservative. Enjoy every minute of that commuter traffic.

Here are five things to do.

Phenomenal Handclap Band, Photo: FotonovaNYC/AlexSolmssen

NIGHTLIFE - Simian Mobile Disco + Phenomenal Handclap Band
There are few electronic artists that can shake a stick at Simian Mobile Disco’s live shows. Mixing a seizure-inducing lights show with its in-yer-face indie techno productions, the duo shames any DJ who considers standing on stage with a MacBook a “live” show. As an added bonus, funky dance troupe Phenomenal Handclap Band opens. If you haven’t worn yourself out upstairs at Metro, head down to the basement for an SMD DJ set alongside JDH, Dave P and the Chicago Workgroup afterwards. Metro + Smart Bar. 9pm; $25, includes admission to both shows.

THEATER - Young Frankenstein
Mel Brooks’s follow-up to the smash-hit The Producers got a lukewarm reception in its lavish New York production. Can a retooled version do better on the road? Original Broadway stars Roger Bart and Shuler Hensley must think so, since they’re on the road with it. We’ll find out tonight. Cadillac Palace Theatre, 7:30pm, $30–$95.

MUSIC - Ghostface Killah
The Wu-Tang MC’s latest, Ghostdini: Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City, squarely focuses on lovelorn R&B, but it’s in no way soft. House of Blues, 9pm, $23, 17 and older.

FILM - An Education
An Education may not be perfect (we have issues with the ending), but it’s worth seeing just for Carey Mulligan’s star-making turn as a teenager in early 1960s London who experiences a taste of freedom by dating an older man. Some actors just have that magic “it,” and Mulligan is one. See Listings.

ART & DESIGN - “Site-Unspecific”
Up-and-coming sculptor Heather Mekkelson is among the artists in this site-oriented show opening tonight.
O’Connor Art Gallery, Dominican University, 7900 W Division St, River Forest. 4–8pm. FREE!

You might be skeptical of modern medicine, you might tend to think that how someone raises their kids is, for the most part, none of your business—all the more reason this Wired article about panicked parents skipping shots should get your attention. I haven’t read the whole piece yet, but it has already given me some much needed perspective on the vaccination controversy. I found the debunking of the fears about H1N1 particularly interesting. Of course, the internet being as it is, you’ll find a whole encyclopedia of articles decrying the evils of inoculations. But the Wired story makes the case that the panic about inoculations is already resulting in sick kids—kids sick with diseases long thought eradicated. That’s scary, and not just for moms and dads.

Here are five things to do today.

ART & DESIGN - Doodleganza: The Drawing Extravaganza
Ezra Claytan Daniels helps you find your inner artist at the MCA’s hands-on, informal workshop.
Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E Chicago Ave. 6pm. FREE!

MUSIC - Pinback + Joe Jack Talcum
The soaring emo-ish hooks of Pinback keep the San Diego band’s tunes sounding warm, even when the arrangements tilt toward the brainily angular. Support comes from Joe Jack Talcum of the Dead Milkmen, whose wobbly voiced and disarmingly tender solo work may strike a chord with Jonathan Richman devotees. Bottom Lounge, 8pm, $18, 18 and older.

FILM - Loren Cass
The ouststanding indie Loren Cass captures life at the fringes: Three young outsiders in St. Petersburg, Florida, find each other and make tenuous connections. This is solid filmmaking anchored by rich performances. Gene Siskel Film Center, 164 N State St at Randolph St (312-846-2600). El: Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple (rush hrs) to State/Lake; Red to Lake; Blue to Clark/Lake. Mon 2 at 7:45pm, Tue 3 at 7:45pm. $9, students $7, members $5.

SPAS & GYMS - Blueberry Moon
If there’s one thing we can always count on for fall, it’s the return of pumpkin-themed treatments at the spas. This Lincoln Park center doesn’t disappoint with its pumpkin pedicure. It’s normally $65, but is currently $45 through Nov 30. But that’s not the only special here: Book a 60-minute facial with one of the Aveda-trained aestheticians, and you’ll get $20 off (90-minute facials are $40 off) through Nov 18. And the Himalayan glow massage (a full-body treatment that uses cinnamon to increase circulation and hydration, clove to detoxify and vanilla to soothe your senses) is $65 (normally $95) through Nov 17. 2108 N Halsted St (773-529-3333, blueberrymoon.com). El: Brown, Purple (rush hrs) to Armitage. Bus: 8, 73. Mon, Tue 11am–9pm; Wed, Thu 10am–9pm; Fri 9am–9pm; Sat 9am–6pm; Sun 10am–5pm.

DANCE - Film Screening: My Lunch with Anna
French dancer-filmmaker-artist Alain Buffard’s film about the legendary American choreographer Anna Halprin documents a series of lunches on sites that were used for her performances in the San Francisco area. As Buffard and Halprin dine in Washington Square, the Berkeley Art Museum and Stinson Beach, we listen in on their inspired discussion. Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E Chicago Ave (312-280-2660, mcachicago.org). El: Red to Chicago. Bus: 3, 10, 26, 66, 125, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 151. 11am, 1pm; free with museum admission.

DST (daylight saving time) ended this past weekend—clocks fell back and theoretically all of us got an extra hour of sleeping or drinking or something in. We should feel more rested, less rushed, early rather than late for a day or two. Unfortunately, I don’t use an alarm clock, and babies and cats don’t pay much attention to CST or DST, so I didn’t get an extra hour of anything.

Here are five things to do.

AROUND TOWN/FILM/DRINK UP - Movieoke
Movies + karaoke = one hell of a bar night. Blending the art of drunken mike takeovers with the science of yelling out quotes to one’s favorite films, movieoke allows patrons to choose their favorite movie scene (out of the 200 or so available, including Halloween, pictured) and act it out while the actual film clip plays on a projector. Be prepared for awesomely awful acting. The Whistler, 2421 N Milwaukee Ave (773-227-3530), 9pm, FREE!

THEATER - End Days
Jesus and Elvis both play a significant part in Deborah Zoe Laufer’s new dysfunctional family comedy, opening tonight in a Chicago premiere directed by Shade Murray. Next Theatre Company, 7pm, $25–$40.

NIGHTLIFE - Soulico

Yet here’s Soulico, the four man team headed by noteworthy dub and funky breaks producer Sabbo. Tonight, the group performs live alongside MC Zulu, peppered with DJ sets from each member. DJ Searchl1te represents for the Chicago scene. Empty Bottle. 9:30pm. FREE!

MUSIC - Roger Daltrey
Daltrey’s “Use It or Lose It” tour is mainly an exercise to get his voice in shape for the next Who album, but it’s excuse enough to see a legend perform in a relatively intimate space. House of Blues, 8:30pm, $78.

FILM - Harmony and Me
Musician Justin Rice acts and, yes, sings in the charmingly offbeat indie drama Harmony and Me, about a lovable 20-something loser who takes us on a tour of the stuff that’s going on in his life right now. Gene Siskel Film Center, 164 N State St at Randolph St (312-846-2600). El: Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple (rush hrs) to State/Lake; Red to Lake; Blue to Clark/Lake.

This night of Madonna idoltry falls on a holiday weekend which means it’s gonna be madness (or should we say Madgeness?).

Lady Jack performs at Eyes Wide Shut

SATURDAY 31

NIGHTLIFE - Eyes Wide Shut
Taking on Kubrick’s cultish, twisted and sexed-up final film as the inspiration for the night, Fulton Market’s Lumen does Halloween with an appreciated twist that steps beyond the obvious “Thriller,” zombie and leather-and-lace-meets-pimps-and-hos themes that seem to dominate every year. In honor of the film, Lumen decks itself out in vintage rugs, an abundance of burning candles and intricate floral displays with screens playing the movie throughout the night. Esteemed Chicago Burlesque performer Lady Jack is the hostess for the evening, and she’s accompanied by a retinue of masked enchantresses who’ll be roaming about all night. Lumen. 9pm, $20.

AROUND TOWN/NIGHTLIFE - Halloween Burlesque Show
Another Halloween option: monster porn.

El: Yellow to Skokie, then bus: 97. 8pm; $35, students and seniors $30.

More Halloween parties and live gigs

Chromeo is sold-out tonight.

Somehow, Chromeo + Crystal Castles + Boys Noize at the Congress has sold out for tonight, but there’s a lot more pre-Halloween boo boogie to be had out there; take a spin through our listings. Here are five things to do today. But with more five things to come Saturday and Sunday, you’d be wise to check back from the cozy confines of home.

MUSIC - Monsters of Folk
Considering the supergroup of Conor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward and Mike Mogis came together following a couple of collaborative tours, it’s only fitting that the collective works best live. On stage, these part-time partners loosen up, swap instruments, delve into American roots (as well as their respective catalogs) with academic insight, and live in the moment a little more. Auditorium Theatre, 7:30pm, $36–$51.

DANCE - AquaMoon: love does not hurt
The collaborative duo of camil.williams and veronica precious bohanan “bridges the gap between the streets, hip-hop feminism, performance activism and academia.” Love does not hurt blends dance, photography and collage.

FILM - Night of the Hunter
There’s nothing quite like Charles Laughton’s only directorial effort, Night of the Hunter. Robert Mitchum is quite simply amazing as an insane killer pursuing two kids he thinks know the location of some missing loot from a robbery. Block Cinema Northwestern University, Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, 40 Arts Circle Dr, Evanston (847-491-4000). El: Purple to Foster. Metra: Union Pacific N to Davis. 8pm. $6, students $4.

If Halloween is, underneath the grotesque imagery, about reinventing and learning about another side of yourself for a night, Bob Dylan isn’t a bad choice for a Halloween-themed concert outing. The man pulled off the culture-shifting reinvention going from semi-serious folkie to code-inscribing rocker long before Madonna ever squeezed into her first bustier. More regular transformations have followed—his latest incarnation has been as a chameleon-like vaguely Southern troubadour, possibly inspired by a book called Love & Theft: Blackface Minstrelsy and the American Working Class. Here are five things to do, one of them a night with Bob.

MUSIC - Bob Dylan
Dylan has a way of magnifying even the most minor surprises. Will he deign to pick up his guitar again for more than just a few songs? Will he toss in an unexpected cover? Will he do a little jig? Now that he looks like a vagabond magician from a Melville novel, anything is possible. Aragon, 7:30pm, $52.50, all ages.

NIGHTLIFE - Only Children of the Corn
As we continue to build momentum toward all of our costumed exploits this weekend, the Only Children—a recently formed DJ crew that includes eclectic hipster selectors Bald E., Dinoscopy and Mister Wolf—provide slightly more low-key forum to you to take your zombified Michael Jackson outfit out for a trial run. The trio spins a mix of funk, soul, disco and more. innjoy. 9pm. FREE!

FILM - Death Race 2000
Never mind the awful recent remake; the original Death Race 2000 is an arch satire about our bloodthirsty culture. It’s about a cross-country race in which drivers earn points for killing pedestrians. Doc Films, University of Chicago, 1212 E 59th St between Kimbark and Woodlawn Aves (773-702-8574). Metra: Elec Main to 59th St. Bus: 4 (24hrs), X4, 14, 28, 59, 171. 9pm. $5.

DANCE/NIGHTLIFE - Halloween House Party
The Joel Hall Dancers & Center host a 21-and-older Halloween party at the Victor Hotel. Chicago’s own DJ Rees Urban and DJ Lil’ John be spinning house music all night. Victor Hotel, 311 N Sangamon St (773-293-0900, joelhall.org). El: Green, Pink to Clinton; Blue to Grand. Bus: 8, 9. 9pm–2am, $10 at the door, cash only.

THEATER - Sex
