It’s a pretty slow Monday in the District, so watch 24, talk about how boring the Superbowl ads were, and prepare for an invasion of the sounds of 90s television over the course of the coming week.

TUESDAY
>> Got metal? The Giraffes play the Cat tonight with Skeleton Key and promise “pure metal joy,” and lots and lots of volume. 9 p.m. on the backstage, $7.

>> For the parents in the readership, Barney and his Friends are starting a two-night stint at the Patriot Center today. The Let’s Go Tour starts at 6:30 p.m. both nights, and tickets range from $18.50 to $28.50. Although, if we were parents, we’d probably opt for the cooler and less annoying Pancake Mountain for our kiddie-themed music outings and innings.

WEDNESDAY
>> The lovely sounds of Leslie Feist traveled through the District a few times in 2004 and people took notice, as evidenced by the sellout show at the Black Cat tonight. Opener Jason Collett is a fellow Broken Social Scene-r. And just so you’re paying attention, this show was originally scheduled for Thursday before being moved. But don’t worry, all tickets will be honored. Doors are at 8:30. –DCist Kyle

>> Locals Analog Jetpack play the Grog & Tankard tonight. We haven’t seen them, but we’re enjoying the banjo-laden tracks on their MySpace page, and DCist Ryan recommends the live show. If you couldn’t get into Feist, it’s a fun second option.
