B-Movie Bingo: Breakaway
Your monthly opportunity to literally check off a bingo card full of B-movie clichés! This month: The cinematic debut of would-be-ingénue Tonya Harding, fresh off her skating disgrace and ready for two days worth of filming on Breakaway, a direct-to-video hunk of ’90s trash starring Joe Estevez (Martin Sheen’s brother!) as a hitman out to recover stolen mob money that Tonya’s managed to procure. While you’re watching, you might be thinking “Hey, it really sounds like someone’s just reading Tonya’s lines to her off-camera and she’s just blandly repeating them.” Guess what: You’re right!. But the asswhippings she’s handing out? 100 percent unadulterated Harding, baby. BOBBY ROBERTS

Faith Healer, Reptaliens
The title of Faith Healer’s Try 😉 reads like a dare—the winky face is, without question, the boldest Emoji—but the freewheeling psych-pop found on the Edmonton, Canada, duo’s latest album (released last year via Mint Records) is unmistakably playful. With the help of multi-instrumentalist Renny Wilson, singer/guitarist Jessica Jalbert kicks off the title track—which she fashioned as a response to Bruce Springsteen’s come-hither ballad “Tougher Than the Rest”—with a carefree laugh, while song titles like “Such a Gemini” and “Best Saved 4 Last” (the album closer, naturally) contribute to the record’s easy, breezy feeling. These coy flourishes don’t distract from Faith Healer’s versatile talent, though; “Light of Loving” is smoldering psychedelia, while “Sterling Silver” mellows into hymn-like electro-pop. Faith Healer is becoming one of Canada’s best musical exports, and tonight they’ll play alongside one of Portland’s best musical exports, Reptaliens (whose 2017 LP FM-2030 is languid, morbid, sun-kissed, and beautiful pop).
