Editor’s picks: Pop music

It’s apropos that Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl would pick Pappy & Harriet’s as the place to bring their folk project “Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger.” The album in haunted by all sorts of times and places past — Syd Barrett’s sun-scarred psych and pastoral English folk; a lyrical world of hope glimmering in corners of apocalypse; Lennon’s uncannily familiar vocal lilt and way with unexpected guitar runs. Pappy & Harriet’s, 53688 Pioneertown Road, Pioneertown. 8 p.m. Sat. $15. pappyandharriets.com. Also at Troubadour, 9081 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood. 8 p.m. Sun. $18. troubadour.com.
