It’s going to be a great Wednesday.

Girlpool is at the Larimer Lounge, 2721 Larimer St., and attending that show is the correct thing to do tonight, in my sort of humble opinion.

Here, try “Powerplant” on for size.

They’re in town with fellow New York outfit Palm and with local support from Sweater Belly. Tickets are $17, doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m.

The Pixies are in town, too. Presumably I don’t need to sell you on the Pixies, but I can say that the last time I saw them they were great and loud.

Bonus: They’re joined by Mitski, who is incredible.

This is also the correct thing to do tonight.

Tickets are $55, doors are at 7 p.m. and the show is at 8 p.m.

Over at Zuni Street Brewing Co., 2355 W. 29th Ave., they’re hosting Good Sugar Baking for some harvest-themed beer and cookie pairings.

For $12, you’ll get four beer samples and four cookies to match. Drop in sometime from 6 to 8 p.m.

And it’s Doom Room time at Ratio Beerworks, 2920 Larimer St., when comedians are pitted against a Screen of Doom that tries to throw a wrench in their sets.

It’s free and starts at 8 p.m.

Jason Moran's "Bathing The Room With Blues" at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. Oct. 19, 2021.

As Denver loses some of its jazz clubs, a live, time-traveling jazz activation at the MCA asks: How do we save things from being lost to time?

“We get to talk about what is important to preserve. What do we want to have as an identity to pass down so people can have pride in their community, and realize that they’re a part of a huge, beautiful story? Every one of us here is part of the story of the Rossonian, and part of the story of the Pek, and the places that have come before.”
