Tonight iconic folk rock singer-songwriter Bob Dylan will be kicking off a three-night stint at the Hollywood Palladium. Norfolk-bred indie rock outfit Mae are poised to headline the Roxy. And, lastly, local hard rockers the Bronx will be performing mariachi songs for free at La Cita under their newfangled pseudonym Mariachi El Bronx, of course. But we strongly suggest heading over to the El Rey Theatre to catch Athens-based post-rock instrumentalists Maserati, who will be kicking things off for none other than Japanese instrumental rock act Mono.

What Made Milwaukee Famous finish up their Los Angeles tour playing along with Tulsa and the British Sea Power/Colourmusic bill moves over to Spaceland. On the Westside, there's only one choice to make and that is hip-hop violinist Paul Dateh at the Temple Bar (check out our interview with him including video). Over in Little Tokyo, Vosotros is having a record release party at LAND for their new album featuring 12 bands. You can get the music free on iTunes via their podcast (search "vosotros the lazy susan" and click on the image)

Ike Turner, ex-hubby to Tina Turner and a "rock and roll pioneer", died this morning in his northern San Diego county home. The cause of death is not immediately known.

LAist loves Honor Student. They are a trio of L.A. funnymen-filmmakers: David's the one with the great hair who makes incredibly realistic masturbation faces. He stars in this installment of "Chasing Donovan", their on-going series of short comedic episodes (they've also done videos for The Mae Shi). Matt and Oz work behind the scenes, and their hair is also not too bad. They are also possibly the only Oklahoman-Dominican directing duo working in the...

Guest Judge: Celebrity Stylist Rachel Zoe In this dramatic episode, the remaining contestants were taken to a New Jersey recycling plant (since NY dumps all of its garbage in Jersey, it made total sense) and were told they were to make an outfit out of the reusables in ONE...

by Mae, 24, Detroit The City itself is interesting enough in its own right. Although known for its thick layer of smog enveloping the downtown like a shroud so suffocating that on sluggishly unclear days the buildings are indistinguishable through the toxins permeating the air, the city is strangely beautiful. Sections of the downtown are clean, free of the refuse one would presume would litter the streets. Few transients linger about--during the day, at...

Be Your Own Pet Be Your Own Pet (Ecstatic Peace) – Thurston Moore signed this teenage band from Nashville. Critics like to compare the lead singer to Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Most critics think it’s a fun, infectious record but detractors criticize the lack of sophistication. The whole thing only lasts 33 minutes. Tickets are still available for their show at the Troubadour on June 27th.

The Bellrays Have a Little Faith (Cheap Lullaby) – Local rock band with a powerful female soul singer. Catch them live at Sea Level Records on 5/2 at 7:00 PM and Safari Sam’s on 5/12. Listen to some tracks on their Myspace page.

Here are a few live music options for the old and jaded, desert-averse people.

That there Jason Toney's got some pretty big shoes. Behind the scenes at LAist, he has been universally kind and gentle with us contributors. And up front on LAist you probably have noticed that he's smart, witty and engaged with the city in a way that is always interesting. Thank goodness he's not really leaving.

Maybe Austin is just like LA, after all. Much like how we do when we're home, we missed the premiere of a film but didn't miss the after party. Hooligans, a film about, well, soccer hooligans is probably very good and a lot of fun but we didn't see it. Instead we saw the star of the film, Elijah Wood, do an iPod DJ set at the end of the night at Maggie Mae's after our friend, DJ Mel, had already moved the crowd. Locals and film festival attendees alike kept coming on stage to get autographs and photos with the wee actor. We didn't dance much to his set but we did approve of his use of A Tribe Called Quest, Too $hort and Nina Simone.

Tuesday returns, and with it the overwhelming urge to empty the entire contents of one's bank account into the waiting coffers of Amoeba Music. It is a daily struggle not to give up the entire grocery budget in favor of finally compiling the ultimate record collection, but a struggle LAist is winning nevertheless—unless the bi-weekly shopping trips count against the groceries.

LAist likes nothing so much as a three-day weekend. Of course, you have to make it through Friday first—but that is so little to ask in return for sleeping in on Monday. Below are LAist's picks for this (long) weekend's entertainment. Get out there and enjoy your holiday!
