Well, they actually don’t know for sure, but it doesn’t sound good. The Templeton Building–Disjecta’s home since the summer of 2005–is being sold by its owner, Lance Robbins. Whether or not they get to stay and realize their vast set of goals for the space, is up to the new owner. If I was a [...]

“The first few songs he played were total shit,” a friend of mine tells me this morning after seeing Ian Kashani of Clit Ripper play the Portland Lounge Series last night. “I’m not even sure they were real songs.” My friend admits that Kashani—who was pretty goddamn wasted—got good near the end. He even [...]

[UPDATE: As of noon on Monday, we have two submissions to this contest. The good news, though, is that pretty much anyone who sends us an entry has a good to outstanding chance to win and see YACHT, for free, on a real yacht. Even if you are a computertard, you can throw something [...]

So if you haven’t heard, this is the place to be tonight [YOU MISSED IT!]. Shit gets rolling around 9:30. There, uh, might actually be shit and rolling in it. There will definitely be strippers.

Having a couple days off in Bloomington gave us a chance to catch up with our friends Brian and Kelley. They were amazing hosts and we had a lovely time. We played darts at the local haunt and even considered singing Karaoke at the bar across the street. When we got there, it cost [...]

This one I just thought was interesting. Rarely am I sent an mp3 for use as a cut of the day (though you are all welcome to do so), and this one came under particularly strange/tragic circumstances, as the song being presented is a tribute to the victims of the shootings at Virginia Tech. I [...]

Just a reminder that TONIGHT, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, is the night to celebrate the winners of Willamette Week’s 2007 Best New Band poll. Representing the crew of winners tonight will be the Shaky Hands, Horse Feathers and Laura Gibson! The show is FREE (yes!) and 21+ (sorry, kids) at the always classic Berbati’s Pan. Space [...]

It was about a six hour drive down the mountains, over the woods and through the desert to Las Vegas. I could pretty much feel my wallet shrinking the closer we got to town. It was an early show and everyone was about two hours late due to hip hop savings time. Doors opened at [...]
