-- Litz Plummer, the Opera Lady: Wow. This should be an interesting combo: Coming to the Eagle this evening is the opera lady. You know? The one who sings on Maiden Lane, near the Hermes store.

She's part of tonight's "Thursday Night Live" along with All My Pretty Ones and Carletta Sue Kay. 10 p.m., the Eagle Tavern, 12th St. & Harrison; $5.

-- HIJK, the Invisible Cities (voted "Best Indie Pop Band" by savvy SF Bay Guardian readers), and Show Me State: Oakland "math-rock" (!) art band HIJK celebrates the release of their latest work. DJ Ted Leibowitz of Bagel Radio spins in between sets. Show starts at 8 p.m. at the Rickshaw Stop, 155 Fell; $8.

-- Kim Addonizio: Local writer reads from her latest effort about a homeless junkie, My Dreams Out in the Street. 7 p.m. at Booksmith, 1644 Haight; free.

-- Aaron Ximm: Sound artist (not "musician", you plebeian fuck) presents his work tonight at a downtown listening party. Starts at 7 p.m. at SF Camerawork, 657 Mission (2nd floor); free.
