-- "Chilidog": Italo, "nu/no wave," (?) and disco sounds abound at the Transfer's Tuesday weekly dance party named after a most vile, vile act. (We’re sorry, but you will have to look up what a modern-day chilidog is for yourselves.) Music starts at 9:30 p.m. at the Transfer, 198 Church; admission is free and well-drinks are a ridiculously cheap $2!

-- Fuckwolf, Prismatics, and 3 Leafs: Acoustic and plugged-in rock outfits -- some more potty mouth-titled than others, tsk tsk -- perform tonight in the beautiful Tenderloin. Show starts at 9:30 p.m. at Hemlock Tavern, 1131 Polk; admission is $5.

-- La Vie en Rose (La Môme): Holy hell, what an amazing performance Marion Cotillard gives as songbird genius Edith Piaf -- brutal and brilliant. Warning: in French with subtitles. See this film tonight at 8 p.m. at the Clay, 2261 Fillmore; tickets are $9.50-$7.25.
