US, 1947
The last of the six classic THIN MAN films pairs William Powell as Nick Charles—the nattiest ex-cop you’ll ever meet—and the inimitable Myrna Loy as Nora, his wry urbane socialite wife. The story begins with a murder on a yacht and leads the crime-fighting couple through Manhattan jazz clubs offering them plenty of cocktails and hep-cat lingo along the way. Sure, a few people get murdered, but it’s all so very stylish and civilized. (86 mins.)

UK/SPAIN, 2000
Famed music video director (Radiohead, Blur) Jonathan Glazer’s first feature updates the classic heist film with equal doses of sharp comedy and chilling menace. Gal (Ray Winstone), a London gangster retired to the south of Spain with his porn star wife and pool boy, is reluctantly pulled back into a life of crime by his old mentor, Don Logan (Ben Kingsley), a frighteningly and hilariously unhinged maniac. “Spouting profanity, staring daggers at any perceived enemy, and talking nuts to himself in a mirror like De Niro in a Cockney TAXI DRIVER, Kingsley creates an unforgettable monster.”—Rolling Stone. (89 mins.)
Featuring XRAY DJs Aaron and Cheyenne from Reverse Couples Skate

ITALY/FRANCE, 1965
“Petri’s black comedy imagines the hunting of humans as a government-sanctioned, globally televised sport, a gladiatorial combat meant to relieve tension and settle conflicts in an otherwise anesthetized world devoted to mindless consumption. THE 10TH VICTIM amusingly remains a classic ‘commedia all’italiana’ of the 1960s, with Marcello Mastroianni in his archetypical role as the castrated Casanova struggling to maintain his inbred macho poise as he is assaulted not only by Ursula Andress’s gun-toting Amazon, but by a mercenary wife (Luce Bonifassy) and an impatient mistress (Elsa Martinelli), who have joined forces against him.”—The New York Times. (92 mins.)
Featuring XRAY DJs DDDJJJ666 from Hipsters Suck and Magnolia Bouvier from Vampirella in Iridescent Teal

SPAIN, 1988
The film that made the director an international cinema icon, WOMEN—in typical Almodóvar style—weaves an array of colorful characters into a single, manic-depressive symphony. Carmen Maura highlights as the heroine Pepa, a TV star heartbroken by her lover Ivan (Fernando Guillén), and desperate to find her bearings. “Gorging on the bad, bad world of TV soap operas, tabloid news, and those Roy Lichtenstein cartoons where anguished women lament their lives with ‘Brad’, Almodovar gets a wonderful rise out of life’s lows.”—Washington Post. (90 mins.)

US, 1979
When Principal Togar tries to confiscate ex-cheerleader and aspiring songwriter Riff Randall’s (P.J. Soles) ticket to the upcoming Ramones concert and burn their records, the students enlist the Ramones in a punk-style coup. With rollicking performances by the Ramones and a wall-to-wall soundtrack that includes Chuck Berry, Devo, Alice Cooper, Fleetwood Mack, Nick Lowe, and more, B-movie master Roger Corman’s spoof of 50’s musicals and ode to personal freedom still rocks. (93 mins.)

Tennis pro Guy Haines is in a bad marriage when he’s approached by a perfect stranger, Bruno (Robert Walker), who idly contemplates the perfect murder. Bruno speculates that if he gets Guy’s wife out of the way, then Guy could take care of Bruno’s untenable father and each could have an alibi for the murder they’d be suspected of and no discernable motive for the crime they committed. “Bruno’s manner is pushy and insinuating, with homoerotic undertones . . . not a psychological study, however, but a first-rate thriller with odd little kinks now and then.”—Roger Ebert.

UK, 1983
With something to offend most any sensibility, the comedy troupe of Monty Python offers this comprehensive and nonsensical guide to life—from birth to death. Filled with uproariously funny sketches and songs, the film is a grab bag of outrageous contemplations of the absurdity of life where everything is over the top and nothing is sacred ...well, perhaps one thing. (107 mins.)

Haunted Summer is poised to bring their psychedelic sound to the world.

"Since
day one, the idea behind Pickathon has always been pretty simple: what
does it take to be the best weekend festival of the year for music
lovers?
This question has driven us to highly refine an experience that is truly unique. Innovation has always been at the center of this process and through the years many important elements have come together; collaborating widely on yearly diverse lineups that are built on the idea of great music being the sole criteria; refining six unique performance venues designed to create juxtaposing alternate realities; trusting important decisions can be discussed and made with our online community such as maintaining a low crowd density; becoming the only large music festival to eliminate plastic and minimize single use items; recruiting the finest food and drink purveyors in the land; focusing constantly on eliminating "normal" festival hassles; enabling families to thrive; working with the Pendarvis Family to create a highly designed paradise of a festival grounds, and the list goes on."

Join XRAY and PDX Pop Now! for the best in local music under the sun!
In keeping with our legacy as one of the nations few free, all ages, and all-volunteer music festivals, the PDX Pop Now! festival returns July 24-26 with 45 genres-spanning sets from Portland musicians. Set amid the Southeast industrial district at AudioCinema, the festival will feature two stages, food carts, a street fair, and Portland’s renowned band basketball tournament Rigsketball.
Additionally, we are excited to continue our partnership with Music in The Schools, who will be curating a second year of festival sets from high school bands across Portland!
As an all volunteer, non-profit organization, PDX Pop Now! is dedicated to stimulating and expanding community participation in Portland music. Through the annual three day festival, yearly classroom events, and two-disc compilation, we strive to actively engage the community while highlighting Portland’s diverse and vibrant musical talent.
PDX Pop Now! works to fulfill our mission in a democratic and accessible way. The festival is curated through a public nomination process and a volunteer voting committee that is focused on being inclusive to all genres and age groups.
Expect more news to come this spring when we announce the full 2015 lineup and release our annual two-disc compilation!

Come see Australian indie-pop 4 piece Dick Diver!
Dick Diver are a four-piece from Melbourne Australia renowned for their catchy songs, onstage charm and wry humour. Formed in 2008 with guitarists Rupert Edwards and Alistair McKay, drummer Steph Hughes (Boomgates) and bassist Al Montfort (Total Control, UV Race, Lower Plenty et al) they’re finally bringing their songs to the USA and Canada this July in the wake of their new album Melbourne, Florida.
A wide-ranging and diverse album, Melbourne, Florida is simultaneously smoother and more eccentric than their previous world-conquering efforts Calendar Days (2013) and New Start Again (2011). Recorded in an old barn on Australia's shipwreck coast with long-time collaborator Mikey Young, the man-myth behind such rock juggernauts as Total Control and Eddy Current Suppression Ring, the atmosphere and intoxication shine through in warm horn sections, aching melodies, and such memorable lines as ‘Europe’s fucked probably’, ‘there’s sick on your lapel, Daddy-o’, or ‘don’t get a gun / talk to a counsellor’. Come down and boogie people.
Melbourne, Florida, is out now on US label Trouble In Mind and in Australia, New Zealand and Japan by Chapter Music.
The 3rd annual LagerFest, a benefit for XRAY.fm takes over the White Owl Social Club's spacious bar and back patio on Saturday July 11th with the largest selection of lagers in the state, perhaps the country!
The White Owl is excited to host the third annual giant patio party that celebrates the almighty but often overlooked LAGER! 50+ international and craft brews will be out on the legendary White Owl patio, and the beers will be flowing harder than Aesop Rock while riding the back of Damian Lillard dunking over Dwight Howard from the top Multinomah Falls during a Red Fang versus Lord Dying heavy metal deathmatch battle royale extravaganza!
Come visit us at the Mississippi Street Fair!

Trust is the alter ego of Toronto artist Robert Alfons.

Trust's Tales of lust, wax, and erotomania carry along on a dense black vapor of speed, space and tears.
