BOSS—It’s Sunday, and you’re hungover. Resist the urge to hide ‘neath your covers and study your pain! A better idea is to check out the release party for Springsteen: Album by Album, the great new book by Portland music critic Ryan White. In nearly 300 photo-splashed pages, a fresh shine gets thrown on the Boss’ journey into our red-blooded American hearts. There will of course be music. DIRK VANDERHART

MUSIC—Sundays don’t have to be sad affairs with boxed wine and a pirated HBO Go account. Instead, have a drink and go see singer Casey Dienel, performing and recording for years now as White Hinterland. She boasts some succulent beats and an even better voice, big and dynamic, yet still soft. It’s the perfect way to coast into another Monday with a hangover you actually enjoyed obtaining. DENIS C.
