We give you a couple lovely acoustic videos to go with your Thursday show list:

‣ Good Times for a Good Cause Dept.: Wires in the Walls, Telstar and Little Red Lung team up for a benefit show at the Mint presented by Rock Is a Girl’s Best Friend and Buzz Bands LA (who will DJ the proceedings). Proceeds go to PATH (People Assisting the Homeless).
Robert Francis (that’s him doing “Some Things Never Change,” top, off his forthcoming album “Strangers in the First Place”) opens for Mat Kearney at the Mayan Theater.
Ferraby Lionheart, at work on his next album (that’s the video for the new song “Desmond,” above) headlines the Bootleg Bar, supported by Brian Lopez and Tall Tales and the Silver Lining.
‣ Baltimore folkies Wye Oak, their lovely “Civilian” still fresh in our minds, headline a sold-out show at the Troubadour, supported by the Californian and Line and Circle.
‣ And Bauhaus/Love and Rockets’ David J plays a cozy show at the One-Eyed Gypsy.
