To Do: Pumpkin, Apple, Galifianakis
· Hyped (not totally unearned, either) band The Futureheads will do a free in-store show at at Amoeba Records. As always, arrive early if you want to watch the band from the coveted vinyl section. The Jimmy Chamberlin Complex, featuring the ex-Smashing Pumpkins drummer (arguably only the second- or third-most dysfunctional member of that band, despite the heroin habit), does their thing at the Knitting Factory.
· For Golden Apple lovers: Gerard Jones presents and signs Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters, and the Birth of the Comic Book at Book Soup. For those who'd drink a can of Castroil before giving up their hybrid: Actor/environmentalist Ed Begley Jr. lectures the green about “Living Simply So That Others May Simply Live,” at the Studio City Branch Library.
· The last time we saw Zach Galifianakis, he was wearing a Lil' Orphan Annie outfit at M bar, but tonight he performs at Largo. (You can only cross your fingers for the Annie get-up.) He's so funny that we very nearly forgive him for his stint on Tru Calling.
