Tom Waits - Bad as Me
62 later this year, that Tom Waits is now approaching the age you suspected he always was must be an odd one for his fans, and indeed, the man himself. That his 17th studio recording arguably stands up to anything he has released previously, shows he's still doing his version of bar-room blues justice. Always a fascinating character, in both look and output, nobody would've wanted or expected him to grow old gracefully.

She Keeps Bees @ The Shipping Forecast, Doors 7:30, £6.50
Brooklyn duo Jessica Larrabee and Andy La Plant hit Liverpool this week, touring their superb third long player, Dig On. Variously likened to The Kills, Patti Smith and PJ Harvey, it is to their credit that they don't slavishly fall into line with the comparisons; their own brand of scuzz-blues should go down a treat in the intimate surrounds of The Shipping Forecast's hold.

Glitch Karaoke and Ross Sutherland @ Elevator, 7:30pm
This makes the culture diary by virtue of sheer intrigue! Billed as an 'evening of lo-fi, cut up and new technologies', it purports to connect karaoke sessions between Liverpool and London, and features a film commission from Aisle 16's Ross Sutherland. Curiosity may have killed the proverbial cat, but on this occasion, it's got the better of us!

Evil Dead Triple Bill @ FACT, 10:45 -
Hallowe'en is almost upon us, and by way of an early horrific treat, if that's the word, FACT are delivering a gore-fest of a night, showing the movies that put the nasty into video-nasty. What the daily mail and tory government failed to tell us at the time was, that along with blood and guts by the bucket-load, this is more than matched by lashings of goof-ball humour. We can take it, what about you?
