Wednesday, July 9th

Feist—the women your boyfriend keeps comparing you to silently in his head while you’re asleep—performs at the Prospect Park Bandshell to flocks of nubile female fans and the occasional dude, and Jennifer Aniston’s unlikely lover, musician and failed comedian John Mayer, plays too-far-away Jones Beach, for ladies who didn’t meet that special someone at Dune nightclub in the Hamptons last weekend. Meanwhile, feeling down about your closet-size apartment or cheating boyfriend? An Iraq war documentary should put things in perspective! Jesse Moss and Tony Gerber’s Full Battle Rattle hits Film Forum, chronicling the training of American soldiers in a billion-dollar simulated Iraqi village in California’s Mojave Desert. Yes, people, it could be worse.

[Feist at the Prospect Park Bandshell, Ninth Street and Prospect Park West, 7:30 p.m., www.ticketmaster.com; John Mayer, Nikon at Jones Beach Theater, Wautagh, New York, 7 p.m., www.ticketmaster.com; Full Battle Rattle at Film Forum, 209 West Houston Street, 212-727-8110]
