And so much more. It’s going to be an intense week of show-going and decision-making in Los Angeles; I’ve got Jens Lekman at the Echo tonight and Harlem Shakes with Passion Pit at the Echoplex on Friday with Thursday still up for grabs (Jens again, St. Vincent or an early bedtime, depending on my constitution). My recs after the jump — who are you seeing?
