Firstly, all the 206 Zulu festivities kick off today; you can read Jonathan Cunningham’s story on that here; tonight’s kick-off happens at the Hidmo, featuring DJ’s Mark Luv (LA), Koo-C (SF), Seabefore, Sureal and host Rob Nice. That starts at 9 p.m. and costs $5 (and sorry, kids, it’s 21+). Also, Artifakt is taking place at Lo-Fi tonight with a special all-female line-up: DJs Eva, Kassette, NYX, and Hyph-en are spinning. I personally think this is tops, except that I think ladies should be in control of the wax more often. Like, say, perhaps half the time, since we comprise half of the population? Just sayin’. Anyway, as usual that starts at 9 p.m., costs $5 before 11 p.m., and $7 after. But only for the fellas; ladies get in free.Lykke Li, Wildbirds and Peacedrums at Showboxat the Market, 8 p.m., $22, all agesThe latest Swedish indie-pop act to attempt a stateside crossover comes in the form of a pint-sized 22-year-old named Lykke Li (pronounced Lick-ee Lee). Admittedly, it’s easy to be cynical about every cute new female singer-songwriter flooding the genre. But Li’s Youth Novels is an exceptional debut album full of introspective–and totally sexual–lyrics set to a complementary background of sparse instrumentation and gentle beats. In songs like her breakthrough hit “Little Bit,” Li laments her vulnerability in a hapless relationship: “For you I keep my legs apart/And forget about my tainted heart/And I will never ever be the first to say it’s still a game over.” Li can hush a crowded room with her soft-spoken confessions. And just when the girl gets borderline drippy, she demonstrates her mean kazoo-playing skills. ERIKA HOBART
