Don't you just hate it when you wake up thinking it's Friday only to realize it's actually Monday?

Yeah, we've all been there, and from experience we can say it really sucks. But one thing that doesn't suck are all of the good shows going down this week, from shirtless ATL rapper Waka Flocka Flame at Grand Central to L.A. rockers Weezer at the Hard Rock.

Here are the five best concerts to check out in SoFla.

Death's Door. With Millionyoung, Mystvries, and Anahi Villalobos. Tuesday, June 3, 11 p.m. The Garret at Grand Central, 697 N. Miami Ave., Miami; 305-377-2277; grandcentralmiami.com. Free. Dance your hearts away to Millionyoung's "grown and sexy sonic" beats at the darkest and sexiest dance party you'll ever attend on a Tuesday night.

Drive-By Truckers. With Water Liars. Wednesday, June 4, 7:30 p.m. Culture Room, 3045 N. Federal Hgwy., Fort Lauderdale; 954-564-1074; cultureroom.net. Tickets cost $25 plus fees via ticketmaster.com. Get your fix of good 'ol Americana music with the "rock, country, folk, and punk" quintet from Athens, Georgia, the Drive-By Truckers

Waka Flocka Flame. With Lemony Snickettes, Ricky Remedy, DJ Pharaoh, and Sean Bang. Thursday, June 5, 8 p.m. Grand Central, 697 N. Miami Ave., Miami; 305-377-2277; grandcentralmiami.com. Tickets cost $20 plus fees via ticketweb.com. ATL rapper Waka Flocka Flame's gonna "Fuck Shit" up at Grand Central, so you better not let him catch you "Slippin'."

Boston. Thursday, June 5, 8 p.m. Hard Rock Live, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood; hardrocklivehollywoodfl.com. Tickets cost $50 to $65 plus fees via ticketmaster.com. It happens all the time ... You put on some music to start the day, you loose yourself in a familiar song, and when you hear that old tune they used to play, you realize it's "More Than A Feeling." And you can thank your mom's favorite band from 1976 for that. Thanks a lot, Boston.

Weezer. With JEFF the Brotherhood. Sunday, June 8, 7 p.m. Hard Rock Live, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood; hardrocklivehollywoodfl.com. Tickets cost $35 to $55 plus fees via ticketmaster.com. Sing along to all of Weezer's classic alt-rock hits at the Hard Rock as the L.A. band makes their way to Hollywood (Florida, that is) for some fun in the sun.
