November 21-27, 2002 musicpicks SmogBill Callahan is a great songwriter, but his performances with Smog are a bit confrontational. At his last show at the North Star, Callahan performed a caustic set with a laser beam stare firmly fixed on the crowd while exuding venomous body language. It left most concert-goers not just dazed and confused, but a bit weirded out. But that's just part of who Callahan is. The music he's produced in the last decade is rooted in uncompromising, uncomfortable honesty. Sometimes it leads to heartfelt performances and others to the alienation of listeners, but Callahan probably doesn't care too much -- and he shouldn't. His latest on Drag City, Accumulation: None, is a singles compilation that should work as a good defense against the naysayers who want Callahan to fake a smile. Mon., Nov. 25, 9 p.m., $10, with The Pacific Ocean, The Five Spot, 5 Bank St., 215-569-9700.
