Somehow, you’ve made it to Wednesday without quitting your job to live on a paddleboard. Frankly? Heroic. Especially with San Diego looking like a vacation screensaver all week.

Anyway, reward time. We’re giving away tickets to Steven Wilson’s Overview Tour stop at The Magnolia on 9/11. Go enter, then get back to pretending you're working.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Somewhere in the multiverse, it’s still 2006 and Drake Bell is topping TRL. On 11/2, he’s playing Lou Lou’s Jungle Room. Close enough.

• In the space between ABBA and a fever dream, Lucius is showing up to haunt your soul (gorgeously) 11/22 at Belly Up. Are we lucky, or is it just The Gold Rush Tour?

• Aaron Watson once played 400 shows in a year. On 10/23, he’s just playing one, and it’s at Moonshine Flats. Pace yourself accordingly.

• If a zoot suit started a jazz cult, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy would be its god. See the madness on 11/29. Tickets on sale Friday.

• Plus, other just-announced shows from The Rapture, Sinkane, Damien Jurado, Flosstradamus, Jake Shimabukuro, and more!

WIN STUFF WEDNESDAY

We do this every week. Not because we have to, because we believe in free tickets, spontaneous nights out, and inboxes that don’t suck. Check the latest giveaways, toss your name in the digital hat, and maybe… just maybe… get lucky enough to cancel your previous plans.
