Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: First, see our post on tonight’s Josh Schwartz benefit. Also: I have no idea how you might actually see all thse bands, but Tuesday’s show at the Echo – with using both the indoor and outdoor stages – features Hobart W Fink (with their new lineup), Wax Children, Luna Is Honey, Manhattan Murder Mystery, Los Dharma Bums, Period Bomb, Vaya Futuro, Dead Panzies and Santa Youth. That’s nine bands for $7, or 77 cents a band.

@Seraphina_L recommends: Christmas may be around the corner, but you’ve got one more chance to check out this month’s Monday residencies before the year is over. If you’re going to Girlpool‘s residency at the Echo, make sure you get there in time for Johnathan Rice. If you’re attending the Black & the White‘s residency at the Bootleg, don’t miss Figs Vision. If you’re stopping by Kissing Cousins‘ residency at the Satellite, make sure to check out the Bulls.
