Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Another trip to the desert? Sure, with a lineup like this: Desert Daze, going off Saturday at Sunset Ranch Oasis near Mecca, has a roster that includes Blonde Redhead, Liars, the Raveonettes, Autolux, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and DIIV – along with excellent local bands like Allah-Las, Deap Vally, Fever the Ghost, Liphemra, Kiev and Habits – all for $45.

@Seraphina_L recommends: If you like your pop music and agree that the Swedes still do it the best, then give Tove Lo a try at the Echoplex on Tuesday. The Swedish pop star who recently released her “Truth Serum” EP will be supported by local acts FMLYBND and Beginners.
