Did you jump off the San Clemente pier this past weekend? If you were one of the few to take the plunge and give a generous donation to Pier Pride Foundation for the honor, then we want to hear about it. I need all the details after reading Yusra Farzan\u2019s piece<\/a>. And after watching Bad Sisters, I’m putting the (albeit much colder) 40-foot dive in Dublin<\/a> on my personal must-do list.<\/p>\n

Licorice Pizza Records<\/a> has your music picks for the week, including two nights with Addison Rae (Monday at the Wiltern and Wednesday at the Greek), Chance the Rapper at the Hollywood Palladium and jazz-rap legends Slum Village at Blue Note. Stranger Things actor Joe Kerry, aka Djo, plays the Greek Theater on Tuesday. Liverpool indie trio the Wombats are at the Novo. Later in the week, there\u2019s Black Rebel Motorcycle Club also at the Wiltern, and Orange County gets a dose of GWAR at the House of Blues.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m nothing if not predictable in my music picks for this column, but I\u2019d be remiss not to share that ’90s indie stars Superchunk are playing the Teragram. The North Carolina natives are still making new music; their latest album, Songs in the Key of Yikes, came out in August. Plus, it\u2019s an all-ages show, so you can start getting the younger generation into classic indie jams.<\/p>\n
