UPDATE, 12:10 P.M.: We forgot to remind you that Sia is playing this afternoon in Santa Monica for free. 2:00 p.m., Starbucks, random (see first bullet in Extra, Extra list).

Maybe you're going on a rock n' roll date tonight with one of these bands. Or maybe you're going to the launch party of RocknRollDating.com. Or maybe Valentine's Day sucks and you'll be joining others at Safari Sam's to see Charlie & The Valentine Killers. Or you'll join JAX of Rock Insider at the Cha Cha Lounge for the "Feast On My Heart" party. Or how about you set up a Crazy Blind Date and go see a show? If your date sucks, it doesn't matter, the music's too loud.
