FILM—Labor Day is the perfect day to rewatch Terry Gilliam’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998): Crazy journalist Raoul Duke (eye-popped Johnny Depp) and his psycho attorney, Dr. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro) take a suitcase full of drugs to Vegas to cover a motorcycle race. They don’t serve drugs at the Academy, but they do serve beer, which is probably safer and definitely cheaper. SHELBY R. KING

MUSIC—With Pacific Northwest roots almost as long as trees, the Melvins remain one of the hardest working legends out there today. They’re about to release a long-lost album from ’98 with godheadSilo’s Mike Kunka, so you might be in for something you’ve never seen them play before. MARJORIE SKINNER
