The Stranger

Grouse about nostalgia if you want, but when an endlessly influential sleeper classic turned nonridiculous contender for greatest album of all time like Doolittle gets a sold-out nationwide victory lap, God is happy. Tonight and tomorrow at the Paramount, the real-life Pixies bang out the whole of Doolittle, in all of its impeccably sequenced, face-smashing glory, escorting many, many monkeys directly to heaven. The 21st century is well represented by the openers: Kyp Malone's Rain Machine tonight, noise artistes No Age tomorrow. (Paramount, 911 Pine St, 877-784-4849. 7:30 pm, $55, all ages.) by David Schmader
