Phillyist's quick-picks for your evening agenda.

Before we delve into the review, your Phillyist would be remiss if we didn't tell you about how we almost didn't get into this show Saturday night. Since the show was sold out (seriously), we knew it was important to get like double-confirmation that we were on the press list or else it was no-dice-see-ya-later time. Which we did, since we're cool thorough obsessively meticulous like that.

Dear SEPTA:

(Because we were.) DigPhilly let us know today that SEPTA will be offering free rides on any train leaving from or arriving in Center City after 6:30PM tonight and tomorrow night. This is to celebrate SEPTA's new extended hours (until 2:47AM!) on the R5 Paoli-Thorndale, R6 Norristown, and R7 Trenton lines. That means no rushing back fron New York to make your connection in Trenton and no leaving Manayunk before your favorite band takes the stage. It also means that your boring friends on the Main Line who always leave the party early can hang out with you until last call, no excuses. Why shouldn't we be celebrating along with SEPTA?

The last time I saw Cat Power perform was the first and only time I saw the entire Trocadero fall in love at once. Her voice and her persona could only be described as haunting yet powerful. Some people showed in the hopes that she'd fall apart, as she has been wont to do, but a lot happens in a decade. Much more centered by the time The Greatest dropped, Chan Marshall prowled the stage like a sexy animal that was caged no longer.
