Above: Diane Coffee, aka Shaun Fleming of Foxygen, does his second L.A. show Monday at Bardot in support of his solo album “My Friend Fish.” That’s his video for his song “Green.” Misun, Bad Suns and J Litt also play.

Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Last week I recommended Jonathan Wilson’s show at the Troubadour, which was postponed because of a medical emergency in the band. It has been rescheduled for Friday, so that one’s a given. In addition, post-punk icons Wire visit the Echoplex on Sunday night – their new album “Change Becomes Us,” the band’s 10th, shows why they are legends.

@Seraphina_L recommends: The Besnard Lakes visit the Constellation Room on Friday and the Bootleg on Saturday in support of their Polaris Music Prize-nominated album “Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO,” out now on Jagjaguwar.  Elephant Stone and Exploding Flowers also play.
