Do Me: Five Options for Your Monday Night

- One-man panoramic post-rock soundscapist Kevin Micka a/k/a Animal Hospital brings his heaps of gear and oodles of heart to Weirdo Records today for a big warm hug of a show (along with Maine Coons). He'll likely play material from two new records, Memory and Good or Plenty, Street and Avenues.  [Weirdo Records, 844 Mass. Ave., Cambridge | 8 pm | 857-413-0154]

- DJ Rory Stark is planning on getting all Hoover on your ass tonight with "Again and Again" at the Model, playing all manner of fast, chunky, eyes-on-the-prize pre-millennial guitar-rock: RftC, Mclusky, Shellac, Drive Like Jehu and hopefully that Karp/Rye Coaltion split 12" if anyone brings it. [Model Cafe, 7 North Beacon St., Allston | 10:30 pm | 617.254.9365]

- Freaky-deaky Cursive back-from-dead show at the Middle East Downstairs still not quite sold out. Where the Land Meets the Sea and The Love Language open. [Middle East, 480 Mass Ave., Cambridge | 9 pm | 617.864.EAST]

- DJs James Gerard and Brendan Wesley (Solar Disko/Akult) throw down a mixe of disco, house and techno at Middlesex's cover-free Petrol night. [Middlesex, 315 Mass. Ave., Cambridge | 9 pm | FREE | 617.868.MSEX ]

- A certain local rock magnate whom we love very much and seek not to out for his illegal misdeeds has mercifully condensed five years of Robert Pollard/Boston Spaceships into a comparably petite 42-track highlight reel titled Blobs of Light Ripped From Spiral Ceilings – Bob Pollard 2004 – 2009. This is like two full hours of nightlife. Want it? Email me and I'll tell you where to get it.
