Wednesday - Jamie Lidell @ Safari Sam's $20. He plays acoustic this time. Too much for an acoustic set? You're right.

Thursday - Regina Spektor @ Avalon. Show sold out. Tickets available on eBay. She won't be back in L.A. til next year.

Thursday - Moving Picture Show @ Spaceland. $6. Get your hispter fix with the local version of early Talking Heads inspired rock-pop with high school marching band homage. I think they have moving pictures in their show?

Friday -LoveLikeFire @ El Cid. $8. How to describe the new San Francisco outfit? Their lead singer is very pretty, Death Cab For Cutie loves them so you should too. They go on at 10:30pm after other rock acts.

Saturday - Bootie LA @ The Echo. $10 cover. Monthly rauckus mashup DJ night. This Saturday features the Kleptones, known for being British bootleg DJs and their Queen mashups. Get there before 10pm and its two for one cover price. Another early comer perk: Free Mashup CD. The biggest perk: Don't get stuck waiting outside the Echo.
