Top show featuring fortysomethings we love:

‣ Superchunk (new album “Majesty Shredding”) and the Vaselines (new album “Sex With an X” – that’s the video, above) play the Music Box, with Telekinesis opening.

You couldn’t go wrong here either:

‣ Broken Social Scene and the Sea and Cake play the Wiltern.
‣ Deer Tick and J Roddy Walston and the Business rock the El Rey Theatre.

In the neighborhood tonight, in L.A. later this week:
