[Happy birthday, Smokey Robinson – who, the interwebs tell me, released the first Miracles’ single on his 18th birthday: “Got a Job.” If only, Smokey.]

It’s Eleni Mandell’s record-release show. Go. The album is called “Artificial Fire;” the show is at Echo, with Whispertown 2000 and the Useless Keys. … Or you can traipse out to the Glass House in Pomona to see Of Montreal. … North Carolina’s Annuals bring their fuzzy, winsome folk to the Troubadour. … Duncan Sheik, with Holly Brook supporting, is playing the Echoplex. … There must something clever about this, but you decide: BlackBlack is playing Spaceland, and VoicesVoices supports. … Three acts from three separate rooms at the Knitting Factory: A Wilhelm Scream (main), Sound of the Blue Heart (front room), Evan Way of the Parson Red Heads (Alterknit). … It’s Lemonwilde at the Silverlake Lounge. … And Jim Bianco plays the Hotel Cafe.
