To Do: Newsome, Gyllenhaal, Benson

· Music round-up: Imogen Heap at the Wiltern; Joanna Newsome at the El Rey; Trail of Dead at the Henry Fonda; Lucinda Williams at Royce Hall; the Melvins at
the Troubadour; The Jane Does The Jane Doe's* at O'Brien's in Santa Monica. [Thanks to the many readers who wrote in to point out the correct spelling of the band's name makes confusing use of an apostrophe.]
It's a Well-Regarded Indie Actor Portraying Drug Addicts Double Feature at the New Beverly Cinema! See Ryan Gosling hit the crack pipe in Half Nelson, then stick around for Maggie Gyllenhaal's powerful and frequently unclothed turn as a semi-recovering heroin abuser in Sherrybaby.
Doug "Best Week Ever" Benson hosts The Benson Interruption, where the comedian lures Sarah Silverman, Paul F. Tompkins, Matt Besser and Graham Elwood onstage at the UCB Theater, then proceeds to rudely cut them off whenever he feels like it, a shocking abuse of emcee power sure to scandalize the comedy community.
