What a craptastic, Murphy Law-ridden, Mercury-in-Retrograde bullshit Wednesday this has been! Shake it off with some great DJs tonight. These are some of my personal faves, guys in touch with the latest trends and a keen sense of timeless appeal. At Crowbar, the weekly What You Need Wednesdays gets in a Valentine's mood with A Thin Line: In and In Spite of Love. We're told it's a night of soul, rock and cupcakes featuring the Crate Brothers vs. the Hate Brothers. No cover. Beer specials and $5 Jamison drinks all night. (I like mine with ginger.) Crowbar, 1812 N. 17th St., Ybor City. crowbarlive.com. Click here for event on Facebook page.
One of WMNF Community Radio's best, "Saturday Asylum" host Scott Imrich is spinning for real at Ella's Wax Wednesdays night. Plus, a Microgroove record store table will be provided to help you get your vinyl on at home too. Two-for-one drinks while the records spin. Ella's Americana Folk Art Cafe is at 5119 N. Nebraska Ave., Tampa. ellasfolkartcafe.com.
