Here’s your big Thursday:

‣ Best Coast and NO close out the Twilight Summer Series with a free show at the Santa Monica Pier.
‣ Legendary sound collagists Negativland hold forth at the Echoplex – the Bay Area provocateurs have a show titled “My Favorite Things” opening Friday at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Feliz.
‣ Something a little special at the Viva Cantina in Burbank: Rosie Flores will do a show performing songs from the final album by rockabilly legend Janis Martin (aka, the Female Elvis), “The Blanco Sessions.” The album is due for posthumous release later this month – Flores, who was a fan of Martin, produced it. Martin died five years ago tomorrow.
‣ Spirit Vine heads up a big local lineup at the Echo that features Detective and Last in Class. That’s Mike Cuenca’s video for the Spirit Vine song “Cold Living,” above.
‣ And the Dollyrots and Kingqueen head up a gang of bands doing “Free Pussy Riot” benefit at the Viper Room, with half the door proceeds going to the Russian punk band’s defense fund.
