PDX Pop Now! 2018 Compilation Release Party
Portland’s best and only free, all-ages music festival PDX Pop Now! returns in July, but first it’s time to celebrate the release of this year’s compilation, which features songs from nearly 40 local musicians. Jenny Logan’s post-punk project Deathlist, extraterrestrial rapper Bryson the Alien, and the indie rockers of Rilla will play sets, and the price of entry includes a copy of the comp. CIARA DOLAN
6 pm, Lagunitas Brewing Community Room, $8, all ages


Portland Timbers vs. Seattle Sounders FC
The quest for the 2018 Cascadia Cup gets underway this afternoon, and while the battle for bragging rights among rivals doesn’t get any bigger than here in the Pacific Northwest, both the Sounders and the Timbers find themselves in dire need of three points to merely keep afloat in a wild Western Conference. It’s the exact sort of scenario you would expect from the league’s marquee matchup, so get swept up in the moment and enjoy the ride. CHIPP TERWILLIGER
1 pm, Providence Park, $52-200, all ages


MOTHER'S DAY
Normally this is the part where we'd hit you with that jumbo-size guilt trip as a means to cajole you into doing the right thing and spending time with the person who gave birth to you. But that's kinda screwed up, right? If you have to be guilted into doing it, it's probably not a thing you should be doing. Not everyone's mom is worth celebrating. On the other side of things—maybe some of you just (gasp! zounds!) like hanging out with your mom. In which case, lets dispense with the guilt and haranguing: Portland's got a lot of cool things you can do together, including a wide array of brunches, some outdoor activities, some shopping, some crooning—look at our Mother's Day listings and see what strikes you as a good way to spend time with mom

Sabroso Craft Beer, Taco, & Music Festival: The Offspring, Pennywise, Against Me!, Lit
The first time I heard Against Me! was on a mix CD made by my high school crush. I didn’t have the track listing, but was struck by the simple, muted guitar line, xylophone, and Laura Jane Grace’s feeble shouts of “When you sleep, nobody’s homeless/When you sleep, you can’t feel the hunger.” The song was “8 Full Hours of Sleep,” and I listened to it on repeat until the mix CD became too scratched to play. Then I bought the band’s 2002 debut, Reinventing Axl Rose, and also played that until it wore out. I grew to love their whole discography, from the cheesy (“I Was a Teenage Anarchist”) to the real heart-bleeders (“True Trans Soul Rebel”). But I always came back to “8 Full Hours of Sleep,” a song so perfect that listening to it at different points in my life I felt angst, anger, love, longing, emptiness, helplessness, and, on the rare occasion, real hope.

Tricky
Tricky has always seemed like a visitor from another world. Even after pioneering the musical genre that’s now known as trip hop, he stood a great distance apart from his contemporaries, as though he were stubbornly unconcerned about his influence or his imitators. With the help of frequent collaborator Martina Topley-Bird, Tricky released an uninterrupted stream of masterpieces in the mid- to late-’90s, and while most artists who first gained popularity in that decade sound embarrassingly dated and obsolete today, Tricky has been spared that fate, largely by doing what he’s always done: remaining distant from changing fads and trends, and staying true to his craft. His post-millennium output—including 2013's False Idols and his most recent album, 2017's Ununiform—proves that Tricky is still on top of his game and still the only one who can do what he does. Tonight’s show was moved to Wonder Ballroom after immediately selling out Doug Fir, so you’ve got a second chance to score tickets for this rare Earthly visit from the Knowle West Boy. SANTI ELIJAH HOLLEY
8 pm, Wonder Ballroom, $30-35

Kimya Dawson
Kimya Dawson writes sweet, posi children's folk songs that sad adults eventually come to realize have been ingrained in their subconscious. Whether you found Dawson through the Moldy Peaches (her anti-folk project with Adam Green); her extensive back catalog with Rough Trade, Plan It X, and K Records; the Juno soundtrack; or that random radical zine you found in a friend's bathroom, you have at one time or another found yourself humming one of Dawson's oddly but beautifully arranged tunes. And even if you haven't heard her music in years, you can somehow muster all the words to at least one of her songs. Dawson is a special artist in this way, and with every note of melodic melancholy comes a deep sense of empathy and understanding of people's complexities. There's hardly anything more grounding and comfortable than that. CAMERON CROWELL

Swiss Family Robinson
The mouse-eared entertainment monopoly that is Disney wasn't always a grinning, white-gloved goliath at the box-office. In 1960, something like their adaptation of Swiss Family Robinson was seen as Disney swerving way outside its lane. An honest-to-god widescreen adventure epic, Swiss Family Robinson was about as risky (and weird) for 1960 as Pirates of the Caribbean was in 2003. But both bets paid off, and while Robinson seems a little quaint and quiet in comparison to the rummy, hammy pleasures of Pirates, watching the studio's first forays into big-budget live-action still makes for a satisfying trip to the movies.

Roselit Bone, Autopilot Is for Lovers, Paper/Upper/Cuts
Roselit Bone is one of Portland’s best country bands. With his deep, bellowing voice, frontman Joshua McCaslin sounds like he’s telling ghost stories about the cosmic cowboys of yore over a campfire, with flurries of horns and pedal steel swelling around him like crackling embers when he reaches the climax. It’s big, dark, and cinematic music.
8:30 pm, Holocene, $8-10

Kulululu, Actionesse, Millstone Grit
Seattle-hailing garage-ska-punk outfit Actionesse come down the I-5 to spark a North Portland dance party with help from bizarro shredders Kulululu and British-Korean rock outfit Millstone Grit.
8 pm, Turn! Turn! Turn!, $5
