The October madness continues. Jay Farrar plays a rare show at the Sheldon tonight, the Blind Eyes debut its new, four-piece lineup at the Stagger Inn tomorrow and guitar god Buddy Guy makes a visit to the Family Arena. Plus: both Volcanoes and Palace release their debut albums in the next two days, Germany's Jealousy Mountain Duo comes to the Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center and the Gin Blossoms is still around, apparently. We kid, we kid. Go Cards, and remember -- you can always get score updates on your phone.
