To Do: Dinosaur Jr., Solar Power, or The Roots
• Catch the only New York appearance of Dinosaur Jr. at Summerstage tonight before the trio returns to the greener pastures of aging rock icon-dom. With rotating Canadian carousel Broken Social Scene, Radio 4, and the spelling-impaired Magik Markers. [Summerstage]
• Get your daily dose of superfluous, nonsensical, over-the-top environmentalism at the Solar-Powered Arts Festival's "Solar Power Film Series," which is "the first film festival in New York City to use the power of the sun and a metal parking garage to construct an outdoor 'ecotheater'...creating the city's 'greenest' motion picture showcase." Tonight's screening is "Road," about some government photographer of environmental disaster areas with relationship problems or something. Like you're even reading at this point. [flavorpill]
• The Roots play a free "secret" show at 7pm at Pier 54 tonight as part of the Fusion Flash concert series. So much for the whole secrecy thing. [FF]
