Oh say can you OC?  Lets give a big city welcome to the first lady of Anaheim as she and her pop/ska/bellyshirt outfit No Doubt take over Universal City. Gwen and the Stefanis will be stretching their legs for two nights at the Gibson Amphitheatre before heading south to Verizon Wireless for a 4 day hometown hoedown.  Along for the ride, loud-making Paramore and some Sounds from Sweden.

Still, we haven't forgotten the common people.  Pulp former-frontman and big brother to Britpop , Jarvis Cocker, is strokin' at the Wiltern in support of his latest solo record, Further Complications (Rough Trade).  With him, the lovely and unlikely lovechild born of a musical romance at a Portuguese festival between Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes and Rodrigo Amarante of Brazil's Los Hermanos ("...wait, you know hermano?!!").  Little Joy is their glowing bundle.


Pulp - "Disco 2000"

Little Joy - "Don't Watch Me Dancing"
