A couple more in which are doing pretty good stuff recently:

http://www.king-kong-klub.de/
http://www.festsaal-kreuzberg.de

I haven´t been here yet and i guess they have seldom something good going on BUT the location sounds really cool for a visit! http://knochenbox-knochenbox.blogspot.it/

I have heard good things of 8mm bar. Anton Newcombe hangs out there..

Tanks for the links! I guess I understand just enough German that the list of shops makes sense.

As BlueBullet said:
have a look at>  http://www.yeahright.eu/  check Berlin link list and calendar.

The best location (for NOT electronic music) are already listed.

For the big concerts (all mix-up here) check:

I´m afraid that for the period you mention doesn´t looks like is gonna be much, 
The Jon Spencer Blues explosion next sunday, the Raveonettes 12th dec...

Here a list of record store (sorry, in german but you can have a look)
http://kupillas.wordpress.com/2010/08/19/wo-man-in-berlin-noch-platten-und-cds-kaufen-kann/

I like Piatto Forte or Vopo Records but i buy really seldom records.
Better go around the Bergmannstr. You´ll find: Holy´s Hit Records (teeny-weeny but really good!),  The Record Store, Space Hall and a couple more.

Check also the record sellers at flea markets like MauerPark on Sunday. The "Flohmärkte" are listed in there too.

Any tips about cool record shops in Berlin?

Or good concerts ca the next week and a half?

You can´t go wrong with Bassy-Club and White Trash, are the best places. 
otherwise check this:

(have occasionally things going on - i haven´t been there recently but i guess is still ok)
Unfortunately this pub just closed: http://www.soulcat-berlin.de/SOULCAT/LINE_UP.html
 but they could be opening somewhere else next (?).
A landmark in Berlin: http://www.wildatheartberlin.de/

Have fun in Berlin!
