-- Golem: Sadly, this has nothing to do with The Lord of the Rings' heroin addict creature. Joyously, this has everything to do with the fact that this is a mist rocking six-piece Eastern European/NYC folk-punk band. Come hear them along with the Trifles, bran(...)pos, DJ Snuffy the Talking Fire Engine starting at 9 p.m. at 12 Galaxies; $12-15.

-- Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977): Wow, okay, like this is just like totally the greatest movie, ever. For reals. It stars Diane Keaton as a school teach-cum-horny drugg addict who gets it in the end. And the end? Is one of the most jarring film conclusion's ever put on screen. Tuesday Weld, by the way, is nothing short of genius in LFMG. Screens at 9:05 p.m. at the Castro Theatre; $6-9.

-- Ask a Scientist: Time to put on your thinking caps and ask those questions you've been dying to ask. Tonight's topic is Synesthesia, which "involves the blending of the senses, in which shapes have taste, sounds have form, and black letters appear in colors." Oh my. And the discussion is led by Lynn Robertson, professor of psychology at UC Berkeley. A perfect night for all you nutjobs. Starts at 7:30 p.m. at Axis Cafe; free.
