BBC America has instilled in us a love of all the accents of the British Isles – not just the ones you see on Masterpiece Theatre. A few years ago, we became quite enamored with a show called . It didn't stay on very long (apparently Americans don't get jokes about feudalism!), but it did make us realize that we rather enjoy Welsh accents. And lucky us, because tonight, we can get our fill of them at North Star Bar when The Automatic Automatic (MySpace) take the stage.

What do bluegrass and pastry have in common? You can get a little of both tonight at the Regency Cafe in Lansdowne. Cruel Sister will be performing their blend of Southern mountain music, traditional British Isles fare, bluegrass, and American folk from 7-9 pm. The band, which takes its name from a medieval English ballad, are all former Lansdowne residents. The Regency suggests you bring a bottle of wine along with you, though they do offer some tasty fair trade coffee, which might be in order if the rains finally come and break down this heat. They also offer a light menu of the sandwich and salad variety, along with those pastries. If there's anything we like more than bluegrass, it's gotta be pastries.
