Fall Guide 2012: Music
Imagine seeing Eddie Vedder, M83, Metric, Gotye, GZA, Andrew Bird, Rascal Flatts, Fiona Apple, the Who, Band of Horses, Weezer, Deerhoof and more without leaving town. While that lineup may sound like what some hoped for from last year's Orlando Calling (which is not returning this year), it's actually a mere sampling of the fall music slate in Orlando. And that's not even counting bona fide events like the return of the surprise hit Accidental Music Festival or WJRR 101.1's Halloweenie Roast starring meant-for-each-other dual headliners Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson. So rest up – you have a lot to take in in a short amount of time.

Fiona Apple The ultimate "red flag" of modern pop chanteuses is the master of the unexpected. Earlier this year, she dropped her fourth studio album, a primal, exposed nerve of an effort marked by asymmetrical rhythms and bloody lullabies. Live, she's been just as hard to nail down, thrashing to "Tymps (Used to Love Him)," often countrifying the seemingly uncountrifiable and flat-out ignoring her own built-in call-and-response on new track "Periphery." What will she do tonight? It's probably best not to ask. 8 pm; Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd.; $36.50-$58.50; 407-351-5483.

Accidental Music Festival Timucua Arts Foundation sponsors the second edition of this experimental music festival, which makes it a goal to bring contemporary and avant gard music and programming to a wider audience. Last year's festival, which spanned 10 days, featured world premieres, international musicians and local notables in the modern jazz and classical scenes. This year, the festival takes place over a weekend and its most well-known act are the San Francisco-based indie darlings, Deerhoof, who will play at the Plaza Live on Friday night with two of our favorite local acts, Telethon and Levek. On Saturday, Mexico's Symphonic Orchestra of Guanajuato performs at Edgewater High in the afternoon, and in the evening, Timucua will host a Central Florida Composers Forum as well as an all John Cage piano recital by Michelle Schumann. The festival wraps up on Sunday with an afternoon concert at Timucua by Eladio Scharrón and Carrie Wiesinger, who will perform Latin works for flute and guitar.

Electric Daisy Carnival Although the lineup has not been announced at press time, it can be assumed that if you attend one bacchanalia of dance music, drugs and drops, it's this circus-themed annual rave. Last year brought the likes of Tiësto, Afrojack, Skrillex, Benny Benassi, Goldie, Datsik and Diplo to Tinker Field and if there's anything we've learned in the 15-year history of this event, it's that it keeps getting bigger every time.

Weezer A years-old rockist debate-turned-corporeal, Weezer's idea to play two-night stops on tour – one devoted to a start-to-finish play-through of their hits-filled, self-titled, so-called "Blue Album" (Saturday) and the other to the less commercially successfully but adored sophomore effort, Pinkerton (Sunday), with some greatest-hits sprinkled in – is a great one. The Boomerang Generation's Coke-or-Pepsi question may never be answered correctly (Pinkerton, obviously), but you can be sure Rivers Cuomo & Co. will make it a lively dialogue. 7 p.m.; Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd.; $49.50-$115; 407-351-5483.

Ralphfest 2: Tribute to Ralph Ameduri with the Legendary J.C.'s and more
Although a suspect was arrested last August and charged with first-degree murder, among other things, the fact that someone who was likely a minor when he allegedly ended the life of beloved local musician Ralph Ameduri Jr., will now answer for those charges is little comfort. Besides, Orlando mourns our fallen in grander and yet more personal ways than simple justice, as evidenced by last year's inaugural (and hugely successful) tribute, raising more than $20k for Ameduri's family while taking over a downtown city block in musical celebration. Expect rock, relief and rapture. The Beacham, 46 N Orange Ave.; call for info; 407-246-1419.
