ELENI MANDELL: Los Angeles, to us, has many sounds and vibes. Really, it depends what time of day it is, what part of the city you're in -- strike that, what corner in what part of the city you're in, what you're eating, what you're daydreaming about. But we always come back to Eleni Mandell, who has captured the bluer and stranger and slinkier and more romantic notes of this giant wonderland with her winsome, sometimes old-timey and always captivating tunes. "I'm Your Girl" off "Wishbone" holds us in a thrall whenever we hear it, and we hear it often. Listen to the song, or any of the singer's many albums, or see her live at the GRAMMY Museum, and see if a light veil of mysterious LA-ness doesn't settle gently over you, too. American Express Presents Emerging Artists: Eleni Mandell. Tuesday, April 14th, 8PM. $15 (includes a free Eleni CD). 800 W. Olympic Boulevard, Los Angeles
ALSO ON TUESDAY, APRIL 14th: The people behind and in the internet juggernaut "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" takes the stage (along with creator Joss Whedon) at the Cinerama Dome; and, just up Vine, "An Evening with Michel Gondry" unfurls at The Montalban. Mad, mad movie fun indeed...
