Local Anesthesia: Strange bedfellows Great new work by Slugworth and Pendragon by BOB GULLA

Christmas comes early this week for Top 40 listeners, as radio stations rally the troops and the world's biggest teen-pop sensation struts into town. Okay, Britney Spears isn't quite a teen anymore, as she pouts on her new album's "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman." Indeed, she's getting used to letting her American thighs do the talking -- it would appear, from the video for "I'm a Slave 4 U," that she's finally learned how to dance, or at least writhe orgasmically, which is just as good in our book. Watch carefully on Saturday at the Hartford Civic Center (860-241-4229) and on Sunday and Tuesday at the FleetCenter (617-931-2000) in Boston. At press time, scattered tickets were still available for the Saturday and Tuesday shows. Made-for-TV popstars O-Town open the Hartford show and the first Boston show; home-town boy band LFO open the second FleetCenter gig.
