The Ten Best Things to do in St. Louis This Weekend: August 12-14

Welcome to the weekend. The heat wave's broken and there is no shortage of excuses to leave the house. Including Rum Drum Ramblers' vinyl release at the Gramophone tomorrow night. Stick around for the late show at the same venue for London Calling's five year anniversary party. Taylor Swift is playing a two-night stand at the Scottrade Center, Luster is at the Firebird tonight and we're hosting some wonderful locals at Off Broadway tomorrow. Notice anything different?
