Tonight Grammy Award winning R&B singer Robin Thicke will be headlining Nokia Theatre in Downtown. Parisian composer and musician Yann Tiersen is poised to share the El Rey Theatre with none other than Brooklyn-based shoegazer Asobi Seksu. And, lastly, Iowa-bred deep-blues vocalist/musician William Elliott Whitmore will be headlining the Knitting Factory's Main Stage. But we strongly suggest heading over to BOXeight to catch local buzz band Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, who will be performing alongside a handful of stellar LA-based acts like Megapuss, thenewno2, Fool's Gold, Rainbow^Arabia and Saint Motel.

Tonight marks the final night of the ongoing free Monday Night Residencies. Silver Lake-based alternative rockers the Color Turning will be performing at the Silver Lake Lounge. The Manimal Vinyl Residency at the Echo is coming to a close with folk songstress Rio En Medio headlining the bill. And if you've got the scrilla, then we suggest heading over to Club Nokia to catch Robin Thicke belting out sensual R&B tunes. But we recommend planting your feet down at Spaceland, where fringe rockers the Movies (LAist Review, #2, #3) will be closing out their month-long residency. LAist's favorite alt-rockers Everest (LAist Review, #2), who just concluded a successful stint with Neil Young and Wilco, are slated to perform as well. It doesn't get any better than that!

The last three contestants on American Idol fought for a place in the finale last night. Jordin Sparks, Blake Lewis and Melinda Doolittle sang three songs each: one picked by a judge, one picked by the producers and one of their own choosing. Of course, to fill the hour, the show followed the contestants back to their respective hometowns. Uber-perky-to-the-point-of-annoying Jordin traveled back to Glendale, Ariz., where her local mall was mobbed by fans....

A Word Or 78: Last night I didn't watch anything that I had listed or even Tivoed. I ended up watching "Monster In a Box" on IFC because I had the privelege of seeing Spalding Gray a couple times and there he was again on TV. Wile watching the movie I found it extraordinarily sad to both hear this amazing person talk about his mother's suicide as well as allude to committing suicide himself....

A Word or 33: Is anyone watching "Idol"? I can't believe it's back, I just haven't accepted it.

Even though Beck is #1 this week, due in part to his headlining the LA Weekly Detour Festival, we present to you the video of Bob Dylan's 'When The Deal Goes Down', not just because it stars our girl Scarlett Johansson, but because Bob has somehow stayed in the Amoeba Top 25 ever since he debuted there early last month. Who says the kids don't have any taste? 1. Beck - Information 2. Killers...
