A Weather gets national attenion via SPIN
A Weather is one of my favorite local bands. So when they national press, I get a sense of pride (perhaps irrationally). Portland Pride! Nothing against any of the rest of the NW but Portland is what I rep. Any way the point of this is that spin.com's artist of the day is A Weather. See what they have to say about the band...

Does PC-PDX know punk rock?
You be the judge. Talk amongst yourself. The following is directly from PC-PDX with love and reposted with permission:Punk Rock isn't a website or MUSIC or anything else but community and something close to a way of thinking. Punk is the ability to think for yourself and realizing that you don't have to accept the crap that's...

Were From Japan! New album Title and Track Listing!
The new WFJ! album has been christened, "Now Breathe". Which I think is a great follow up name to "48 minutes 07 seconds". It is as if that whole last album was in anticipation of this album. Or something, I don' know. Here is the track listing I stole from their myspace page:1. Black Bag Work2. Bleed3. Climb Mountain,...

Gas House Recording: 1200 bands and still going strong
I don't remember when I first met Gary Schroeder or where, maybe it was at a show, house show, or maybe Old Town Pizza.

His generosity of spirit and...

OLCC - WTF?
When Goldie sent me the link to "OLCC says No", informing me that the proposal to allow underage kids into clubs for shows (but not allowed to drink) had been voted down, I was disappointed, but not all that surprised. I think we all know that it's time for the OLCC to unlace their Victorian corsets and step into the real, modern world, but that they've...
