– Magic Cyclops cares not if you love him, only that you pay attention. The oft-inexplicable Quad City Madman dons Hulk Hogan headbands, bug-eyed sunglasses and fakey British accents to further his cause, which mostly includes making people laugh and/or scratch their heads. Cyclops will release his new EP Thursday night at the Hi-Dive, with Charly “The City Mouseâ€? Fasano, Red Orange Yellow and Harvey Knuckles. 7 S. Broadway at 9 p.m. $6.
