Events It's Happening Tonight!

BEAVERS VS. DUCKS—You're seething with hatred for either the Beavers or the Ducks. In fact, you hate one of those teams SO MUCH, you simply cannot wait until the next Civil War football game. That's why you should attend this Baseball Civil War featuring the Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers baseball teams. No, it's not the same. But you must channel your hatred somewhere. WSH
PGE Park, 1844 SW Morrison, 6:30 pm, $5-35
CARI-BEATS—Canadian electronic musician Dan Snaith—better known as Caribou—has just thrown fans a curveball with Swim, a rave-happy, acid-dipped, chillwavy club record that's packed with some of the most undeniable beats around. Snaith's trick, though, is in writing great songs to weave through these backdrops; tonight Caribou's gonna host the thinking person's dance party. NL
w/Toro y Moi; Hawthorne Theatre, 1507 SE 39th, 9 pm, $13.50-15, all ages
Need more help channeling your hatred? My, What a Busy Week!
