>>Dinosaur Jr. just can't stop re-uniting. Their relatively recent comeback album, Beyond, was a solid return to form, and despite the years, these guys still bring it with their feedback-drenched power-trio jams. An odd combination of opening band names: Awesome Color and Dead Confederate. At the Black Cat, $20, 8 p.m.

The Woggles -- that ageless bunch of garage-dwelling retro-rockers from Georgia -- plays DC9. They'll be joined by D.C.'s terrific purveyors of garage, The Hall Monitors, and Must Love Trash. $10, Doors at 8:30 p.m.

>> Washington Post literary critic Michael Dirda will read from and sign copies of his new book, Classics for Pleasure, at Politics and Prose. 7 p.m.

>> The Washington Psychotronic Film Society presents a screening of The Perils of Gwendoline in the Land of the Yik Yak, Just Jaeckin's 1984 sexploitation film, at Dr. Dremo's. 8 p.m., $2 suggested donation.
