[Birthday greetings go out today to Queens of the Stone Age/Sweethead guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen … Now for tonight’s goodies:]

Top 3 midweek outings:

‣ It’s the album-release show for noisy L.A. duo Alpine Decline, who are joined by Polls and Blonde Summer at the Silverlake Lounge.
‣ One of our fair city’s finest purveyors of jagged power pop, the World Record, plays the Satellite with dreamy Ventura outfit the Spires.
‣ And trip-hop duo Mad Planet (pictured) gets its dance on at the Viper Room with stuff from its album “All Elephants.”
