Friday
· Music round-up: Busdriver at the Troubadour, Ying Tang Twins at Key Club; Jon Brion at Largo.
· Before you stop by the Vista for a screening of Sweeney Todd, you can head over to the nearby Sweeney Todd's Old-Fashioned Barber Shop for some tie-in deals (like a "cut-throat" shave or a "Barbicide" cocktail) guaranteed to enhance your moviegoing experience.

Saturday
· More music: Rriiccee (Vincent Gallo and Eric Erlandson) at the Rec Center Studios; Shiny Toy Guns and Moving Units at the Wiltern; DJ Dan at Vanguard.
· The Aero Theatre puts on a cheery "Christmas gone horribly awry" double feature of Die Hard and Bad Santa. For those who truly want a marathon of holiday fare, they're showing Scrooge (not Scrooged) earlier in the day.
Sunday
· Wu Tang Clan at the House of Blues. You have no need for any other musical plans.
· On the Day Before The Day Before Christmas, simulate what the holiday season is like in places that actually have a proper winter at the ice rink in downtown's Pershing Square.
