CONCERT: Death Cab for Cutie Indie rock's most heartfelt, emotive band is also, somehow, still really good (assuming you don't count that appearance on "The O.C."). And after an unusually long time between records -- after releasing six full-length albums in six years, the band hasn't offered up anything since 2005 -- Death Cab is returning with a new record, "Narrow Stairs," in May. A tour brings the band to Merriweather Post Pavilion on June 9. $40; lawn, $25. 7:30 p.m. 10475 Little Patuxent Pkwy., Columbia. 202-397-7328.

LITERATURE: "Farewell, My Subaru: An Epic Adventure in Local Living" NPR correspondent Doug Fine spent 12 ambitious, frustrating, silly months living "off the grid" in New Mexico -- going "carbon neutral," driving a veg-oil-powered truck, raising his own chickens.

He talks about his trials and tribulations in going green tonight at National Geographic. $18; members, $15. 7:30 p.m. Grosvenor Auditorium, 1600 M St. NW. 202-857-7700.

It plays tomorrow at the AFI Silver. $9.75; seniors and students, $8.50; age 12 and younger, $6.75. 9:45 p.m. AFI Silver Theatre, 8633 Colesville Rd., Silver Spring. 301-495-6720.
