Even if you're going to tonight's John in the Morning at Night, Friday's best bet is DJ/blue-eyed soul man/gold lamé bathrobe-wearer/consummate performer Jamie Lidell, along with opener Janelle Monae at Showbox. Jamie also has an instore at Easy Street Queen Anne this evening at 6:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, there's the Anticon two-fer of Why? and Restiform Bodies at the Vera Project.
Saturday, REVERBfest runs all day, all night in Ballard. If you'd like to see just a couple acts instead of sixty-five, there's country singer-songwriter Suzy Bogguss at the Triple Door, fresh off her summer-long appearance with A Prairie Home Companion's Rhubarb Tour with Garrison Keillor.
Break out your finest beard for Grand Archives at Neumo's.
There's one mighty fine lineup Saturday at the Showbox SoDo: Mates of State, Low Vs. Diamond, Alice Smith, and Santogold.
Or head to Chop Suey for torchsingin' girl with a piano Rachael Yamagata.
Sunday night, if you're not taking in Sigur Ros at the friendly confines of Benaroya Hall, there's the sonic post-rock post-jazz multi-instrument majesty of Kayo Dot at the Rendezvous.
Or catch McCarthy Trenching at the Tractor. Nebraskan singer-songwriter Dan McCarthy is adorably Midwestern like whoa.

McGinn is Mayor
