This Week in Great Music - 10/26 - 11/1

A little bit of everything in Chicago this week. Rock, electronica, folk, rap, and my guilty pleasure, cheesy pop music.  I kind of can't handle all of the different choices for shows on Thursday, and I have never been so disappointed to have to go to a Halloween party rather than a show on Friday. Sigh, my life is so difficult.Monday, October 26Ingrid Michaelson, Park West. 7:30 pm, $20Jay Farrar and Benjamin Gibbard, Lincoln Hall. 8 pm, sold outTuesday, October 27The Gaslight Anthem, House of Blues. 5:30 pm, $18-20Kelly Clarkson, Rosemont Theatre. 7:30 pm, $25-$59.50Saul Williams, Double Door. 9 pm, $20Wednesday, October 28Mae with Jenny Owen Youngs, Reggie's Rock Club (2109 S.
