Top 3 reasons to go out tonight (after watching “Paul McCartney: In Performance at the White House” on KCET at 8):

‣ Laura Marling, the U.K. folk singer who’s nominated for a Mercury Music Prize for her sterling sophomore album “I Speak Because I Can,” plays the El Rey Theatre. That’s her video for “Rambling Man,” above.
‣ It’ll be formidable back catalog vs. good new album at the Gibson Amphipheatre, where Squeeze play behind their new release “Spot the Difference.” Old-school fans seem to always want the hits, y’know?
‣ And up in the Buzz Bands neighborhood, it’s Vanaprasta and Robotanists at LaBrie’s in Glendale.
