Squeeze

MONDAY
>>Yes, Suzanne Vega is the person who sings “Tom’s Diner”, and, lucky for you, we’re guessing she plays it at her Monday night set at the Birchmere. Unfortunately for your neighbors, roommates, co-workers, and spouses, you’ll probably be singing its a cappella intro for days. With Christina Courtin. $35, 7:30 p.m.

>> Considering what it costs to see currently touring pop acts these days, a $25 lawn seat at Wolf Trap for the Backstreet Boys seems like a steal. Then you remember that, wait, you can’t remember the last thing they put out (it was actually last fall) and you think the disc you bought back in ’99 is still stuck between the seats in your dad’s old Buick Century. Worth the trip out to Vienna? We’ll let you decide. $25-45, 8 p.m.

TUESDAY
>> Surprise at the Club! It’s never-were Three Stars act Good Charlotte. Will Joel Madden bring wifey and the kids? Can you think of another reason to go? $25, doors at 7 p.m.

>> If heavy rock is your thing, Pittsburgh’s Don Caballero will be playing with Baltimore’s Ponytail at the Iota Club. Caballero are just kicking off a tour in support of their new LP, Punkgasm. Yep. $12, Doors at 8:30 p.m.
