Saturday night is most definitely all right:

‣ Legendary pop singer Tom Jones headlines the Troubadour behind his new album “Spirit in the Room.”
‣ Marina and the Diamonds [that’s Marina, pictured] and Charli XCX team up for a big show at the Shrine Auditorium – they teamed up in the studio, too, before the tour to record a new song “Just Desserts,” which you can download for free.
‣ My Morning Jacket’s Jim James visits the Fonda Theatre behind his solo album, “Regions of Light and Sound of God.” Cold Specks open.
‣ Minnesapolis chamber-pop ensemble Cloud Cult, its ninth album “Love” just out, hits the El Rey Theatre, with JBM opening.
‣ And Brooklyn-based electro artist Chrome Sparks, aka Jeremy Malvin, does a rare live performance at the Bootleg, where he is joined by Tropicool, Ruckus Roboticus, Tres Dubois and Channel One.
