Pop The Regrettes "A Living Human Girl" is the centerpiece of the Regrettes' debut album, "Feel Your Feelings Fool!" As a whole, the 15-song work turns the confusion and frustration of modern times into high-energy blasts rooted in freedom of expression and individuality. It also sends a message, arguing that Hollywood's pop music machinery has long failed to capture the mixed-up, muddled and angry feelings of adolescence. (T.M.) Levitt Pavilion, 2230 6th St, L.A.

7:30 p.m. Thu. Free. www.concerts.levittlosan geles.org GarbageBlondieSky Ferreira Three generations of boundary-pushing, sonically tastemaking and aesthetically inventive female artists on one bill. Blondie's mix of punk, disco and synthpop has never been unstylish and is probably more influential now that it's ever been.

Garbage's grungy guitars and potently cynical worldview made them stars in the '90s, and Shirley Manson is a godmother to the sound's revival in the 2010s. Sky Ferreira is a bit more pensive on record than each of them, but her yearning romanticism and progressive style puts her right within their lineage. (A.B.) Hollywood Bowl, 2301 N.

James NEW RELEASES Malick put heart into his 'Song' By Noel Murray New on Blu-ray Song to Song Broad Green DVD, Blu-ray, also available on VOD Even Terrence Malick's staunchest defenders have had trouble mustering up enthusiasm for this long-gestating project set in and around the Austin, Texas, music scene.

But while it hardly measures up to such Malick classics as "Days of Heaven" or "The Tree of Life," the new movie may benefit from diminished expectations. Yes, its story of the tangled relationship between two couples (played Cagney shed his tough-guy image and won his only Oscar as Irish-American song and dance man George M. Cohan in the guilelessly patriotic "Yankee Doodle Dandy."

In "The Music Man," a charming con man (Robert Preston) bites off more than he can chew when he takes on a town of no-nonsense Io-wans and finds himself both on trial and in love.
