• AGENDA: Listening to M83’s latest, Saturdays=Youth, it is excessively difficult to believe that it was recorded this year and not sometime in the mid-1980s. But that’s just a trick of the album art and memory. The gauzy ephemera throughout sounds like what you think the 80s should have sounded like, but probably didn’t. The last time I saw their live performance, my ears rang for days. With School of Seven Bells, a near-supergroup from Brooklyn that includes members of Blonde Redhead and the Secret Machines wrapping you in warm fuzzies. $13, 8p. [neumos]

Elsewhere:

• Just in time for your wishlist, Barsuk re-issues Something About Airplanes [$12], along with liner notes from Sean Nelson and a recording of Death Cab for Cutie’s first-ever Seattle show at the Crocodile. Those extras might just be enough to make you repurchase one of the band’s best albums. [threeimaginarygirls]
• The Sounders will be green. And blue. [goalseattle]
• Business is booming for Little Orly; so they’re moving from Ballard to Rochester WA. I’ve eaten far too many (or not enough) of their caramel apples since QFC started stocking them for the autumn holiday season. [myballard]
• Vivian Girls consumed alcohol during their show at Nectar. The “no drinking on stage” rule is stupid stupid, but whining about it and/or making a big scene instead of casually breaking it or dealing without drinking for forty minutes is kind of sad, no? [lineout]
