Blade Runner 2049
Okay, wait: So the old man who made Alien and then came back and ruined Alien with Prometheus and Covenant has decided there's going to be a sequel to Blade Runner? A movie everyone swears is a classic but is more like a cure for insomnia? And it's got Jared fucking Leto in it? Why in the world would that be a thing anyone would care ab—oh. Oh, he's not actually writing or directing it. The guy who made Arrival and Sicario is. And Ryan Gosling is in it. And the greatest living cinematographer in the world (Roger Deakins) is shooting it. Well then.

Dead Moon Night
Liverpool had the Beatles. Seattle had Jimi and Kurt. And Portland had Dead Moon, the legendary band whose bluesy, yawping rock ’n’ roll was capable of cracking holes in the firmament. Tonight the crew of Fred and Toody Cole and dearly departed drummer Andrew Loomis get paid their civic due with Dead Moon Night at City Hall, including an exhibit of their history, Voodoo Doughnuts, PBR, and surprise musical guests.

JD McPherson, Nikki Lane
Sing-along, clap-along, shake-your-body rock 'n' roll was once the mainstay of teenage boys' FM radios all across the heartland, but these days it feels like an anachronism, or worse, a nostalgia act. JD McPherson avoids the clichés of other throwback artists by writing songs that sound both fresh and classic, like a new pair of wingtips. And, of course, it doesn't hurt that he puts on a good goddamn show. SANTI ELIJAH HOLLEY
