MUSIC—For this month’s installment of the free ‘n’ local Ear Candy music series, your pals at the Mercury and Mississippi Studios have put together a brutally loud bill, headlined by heavyweight stalwarts Diesto, whose earth-rumbling doom rock depicts a molten wasteland where the almighty riff is despotic king.

FILM—Ordinarily I’d say “go ahead” to rolling your eyes at another blockbuster that would rather regurgitate something they already know you like instead of coming up with an original idea but HOLY SHIT the new Mad Max: Fury Road looks amazing. Apocalypse now! Apocalypse now! MARJORIE SKINNER

“Avengers” is still holding the reins of playing in “EVERY THEATER EVERYWHERE”, unfortunately, but I went out to Eastport to catch “Fury Road” today. It’s fucking great.
