If you were out of town last weekend, or perhaps were brought to a puddle after your third round of gasmask hits, and missed Metro’s “Big Lebowski” birthday party at Kings, here’s your second chance, Dude. Slackers aren’t much for “effort” but there’ll be prizes for best costume, best Walter rant and “most convincing nihilist quip.” We’ll enter each of this year’s T Times, thanks.

‘What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?’
Today, 2 p.m.
Brattle Theatre
40 Brattle St., Cambridge
MBTA: Red Line to Harvard
$9.50, 617-876-6837

The loving Hudson sisters are serving up roasted rats in a delicious jealousy marinade. Mmmmm. The Brattle’s “All About Bette” pairs the Davis and Crawford stunner with “Hush ... Hush, Sweet Charlotte”  at 4:30.  

MUSIC

The Faint
Wednesday, 8 p.m.
The Roxy
279 Tremont St., Boston
MBTA: Green Line to Boylston
$23, 18+, 617-931-2000
www.ticketmaster.com

Attack of the ’80s — party like it’s 2004 edition! The Faint return with “Fasciinatiion,” a dancefloor cranker awash in hard synth beats, frosted vocoder and video game splashes. Jaguar Love and Genghis Tron kick off the night.

The Regeneration Tour
Wednesday, 7 p.m.
Bank of America Pavilion
290 Northern Ave., Boston
MBTA: Silver Line to Silver Line Way
$25-$40, 617-931-2000
www.ticketmaster.com

There is always something there to remind you — like feathered bangs, leggings and off-the-shoulder tees making their way back into the fashion consciousness. We love the ’80s and as bloated and frightening (neon!) as they were, we can’t seem to get enough (No, no, just can’t enough). Regeneration is like the pre-jumped-the-shark MTV on wheels — Naked Eyes, ABC, Belinda Carlisle, The Human League and A Flock of Seagulls. We are so depressed that Dead Or Alive has canceled that we’re going to go cheer ourselves up with some Smiths and Ministry.  

Journey, Heart and Cheap Trick
Tuesday, 7 p.m.
Comcast Center
885 South Main St., Mansfield
$25-$125, 617-931-2000
www.ticketmaster.com

Attack of the ‘80s redux! And this one’s for the crooner-loving among us. Arnel Pineda steps in for Steve Perry at the Journey mike, while Heart’s Ann Wilson shows she’s lost no edge on her one-of-a-kind vox. Robin Zander fronts his power-pop whizzes, Cheap Trick.

LOCAL

Ahh, sure you can sit home and Google your way to bourbon smarts. But, really, last time we checked, your can’t drink your keyboard.

CULTURAL

‘Kids with Cameras’
Through Aug. 27
Monday-Saturday, 10:30 a.m.-6 p.m.
Chase Gallery
129 Newbury St., Boston
Free, 617-859-7222
www.chasegallery.com

When “Born Into Brothels” dropped in our mailbox as our next Netflix selection, it took us a few days before loading the not-exactly-popcorn-flick documentary. The Ross Kauffman and Zana Briski feature — which follows the children of Calcutta prostitutes, who are given cameras to capture and convey their world — was depressing, yes, but ultimately uplifting. Chase Gallery shows off upwards of 20 prints from the experiment.
