Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Feeling pensive? You could do no better than either of José GonzálezÂ’’s shows Wednesday and Thursday at the Regent; the Swedish singer-songwriter is touring behind his latest album “Vestiges & Claws.” Feeling punk? Then you could do no better than either of Sleater-Kinney’s shows on Thursday and Friday at the Palladium; the trio is playing behind “No Cities to Love,” their first album in 10 years.

@Seraphina_L recommends: Manic Street Preachers are currently celebrating the 20th anniversary of 1994’s “The Holy Bible.” They’ll be stopping by Saturday at the Fonda Theatre where Dark Waves will support.
