MUSIC—Carrying high the tradition of New York City cool, Kevin Morby’s leather-clad tunes evoke Television, Sonic Youth, and the godheads themselves, the Velvet Underground. Morby’s two solo albums, Harlem River and Still Life, deserve shelf space alongside Ramones, Bookends, and The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan as part of any proper collection of New York classics.

SOCCER—The Portland Timbers have apparently deflowered their annual preseason tournament, dropping Rose City from the name in favor of the Simple Invitational. The six-match tourney has double-headers against international clubs (from Norway!) and Major League Soccer rivals (Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Chicago Fire). DENIS C. THERIAULT
