POP MUSIC
Black Lips
The Georgia band the Black Lips filters punk-rock sentiments through a blues lens. On its new album, 200 Million Thousand, the band plays music that remains appealingly ragged and loose. The band plays at 8 tonight at the Black Cat, 1811 14th St. N.W., Washington. Tickets are $13. Call 410-547-7328 or go to ticketmaster.com.
FILM
'Barking Dogs'
The new Hopkins film series, "Lovers and Liars: Contemporary Films From Korea," kicks off tonight with Barking Dogs Never Bite, a dark comedy about an adjunct college teacher with time on his hands who decides to quiet an irritating barking dog. Presented by the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions Office of Cultural Affairs, the screening starts at 7:15 p.m. at the Mountcastle Auditorium, 725 N. Wolfe St. Admission is free. Call 410-516-5048 or go to jhu.edu/film_media.
'The Big Lebowski'
Thanks to Jeff Bridges' euphorically funky, lyrically laid-back Dave the Dude, The Big Lebowski has become the Coen brothers comedy for people who don't like Coen brothers comedies and for people who do. All can sample its wayward charms at the Charles revival series, at noon Saturday ($6) and at 7 p.m. Monday ($8). The theater is at 1711 N. Charles St. Call 410-727-3456 or go to thecharles.com.
