Thursday’s things:

‣ Can I have a those-were-the-days moment? Check out this video for “It’s a Shame About Ray” (which, of course, the record company has not seen fit to make embeddable but is still worth the extra click). It’s the title track from the Lemonheads’ fifth album, released in one of my favorite musical years, 1992, and Evan Dando and gang visit the El Rey Theatre tonight to perform the album and, we assume, material from the Boston band’s other eight albums. Street Chant and the Shining Twins support.
‣ Wires in the Walls celebrate the release of their album “New Symmetry” at the Bootleg Theater, with the Lonely Wild and the Ross Sea Party supporting. [Check out our premiere of Wires in the Walls’ “The Ringer” from early this year.]
‣ Danish electronic artist Trentemøller plays a full-band show at the Music Box behind his new double CD, “Reworked/Remixed.”
‣ London dream-poppers Is Tropical plays the Echo, with Writer and White Apple Tree supporting.
