[I’m already getting angsty about Saturday … Detour Festival, Eagle Rock Music Festival and, now, a Dodgers playoff game. Meanwhile, there’s tonight — how to properly celebrate Jerry Lee Lewis’ birthday?]

Calexico (at the Fonda) and Jamie Lidell (at the Avalon) are the biggies, but tonight would also be a good occasion to get a beer and a country song (Mike Stinson at downtown’s Redwood Bar) or a glass of wine and a piano ballad (Liz Pappademas at Tangier). … Let’s see: Journey, Cheap Trick and Heart at the Greek? I’m dating myself. … Dios (Spaceland), Death to Anders (Echo), My Imaginary Friends and the Monthlies (Silverlake Lounge) and Japanese Motors (Detroit Bar) wrap up their residencies. … And Chrissy Hynde and James Walbourne of the Pretenders do an in-store at Amoeba that will be streamed live on this very Internet.
