Oldies but goodies bite the dog days.

Byline: BUZZWORTHY by The Register-Guard

So who declared this Blast from the Past Week?

On Saturday we'll have Peter, Paul & Mary leading a baby boomer singalong at the Cuthbert Amphitheater (7 p.m.). On Sunday, Warrant will serve "Cherry Pie" at the Jungle (9 p.m.). And on Thursday, we'll be cooking over Canned Heat, also at the Jungle (8 p.m.).

Speaking of things retro, Steve Perry and the other Cherry Poppin' Daddies have spun off another nattily attired group, White Hot Odyssey. Catch both bands at the McDonald Theatre on Saturday, starting at 9 p.m.

Hip-hoppers will hit the WOW Hall at 9:30 tonight for a four-act show featuring Luckyiam.PSC, which has been lucky enough to record with the Living Legends and the Mystik Journeymen. Also up: Eugene's Strangefolks and Sapient, and Portland's Ramsey Bros.

Out at Secret House Vineyards in Veneta on Saturday, Bill Willie Bluz, Lloyd Jones, Paul deLay and Linda Hornbuckle will play and sing the blues for wine drinkers starting at 1 p.m. On Tuesday, Xiu Xiu will be the main distraction in another multiple-act WOW Hall show, starting at 9:30 p.m.

The movies opening today are mostly about really scary stuff, including "Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid" (Cinema World, Cinemark), "Suspect Zero" (Cinemark) and "The Corporation" (Bijou Art Cinemas). But the class of the bunch just might be cut from a different cloth: the Chinese adventure `Hero' (Cinema World, Cinemark), which is drawing favorable comparisons to `Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.'

In the Have Fun, Do Good Department, the Kutsinhira Cultural Arts Center will have an Only in Eugene garage sale from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Tsunami Books: three marimba bands playing while you scrounge, shop and haggle.

But don't haggle too hard. Proceeds will be used to help women in Zimbabwe make fuel-efficient stoves.
