If you go to one concert this week, make it: Impossibly-entertaining singer-songwriter Todd Snider playing a benefit show Saturday night at Rock & Roll Hotel. The laugh-out-loud folkie is playing a benefit for Hope for Henry; it's a great cause and the tickets will still be cheaper than any Bob Dylan tickets you can wrangle on Craigslist.
If you buy one album tomorrow, make it: "Sports," the debut from San Franciscans Weekend, who have made an album full of electric guitar surgers, none better than massive lead track "Coma Summer." The album is available on Slumberland Records.
And if you stay up late to watch one artist on TV this week, make it: We've got to recommend someone playing "Conan" on the week of Coco's return to the television. So while you'd be advised to watch Robyn on "Fallon" on Thursday, reunited grunge rockers Soundgarden on "Conan" Tuesday is the official pick.
