Reymont, could you stop being an idiot? Probably not if you tried.
The mercury is supposedly about Portland, and by writing a more diverse music column they would not be "appealing to a niche market". If you actually read what I've written instead of put words in my mouth you'd, well you'd show us that you could actually read and not just rant on your mommy's computer.
And Gabe is in a FUNK band, so you don't know shit Oregometry.
Kudos Reymont!! I agree that the Merc should put absolutely NO effort in mixing up their reviews. Gabe obviously meant what you said and wants the Merc to write .... "pages and pages of information about bands nobody likes!" I'm sure he wasn't just pointing out the OBVIOUS, INARGUABLE bias towards ONLY current trends.
These local prints all follow the same framework, city to city withe the exception of Portland music reviews (basically a copy and paste from a teenage emo mag). I think the point is that with very little effort the Merc COULD support local music and also represent the whole portland scene more accurately by expanding past emo/metal/punk/indie 3 chord songs with 80 synths and a mullet. But they won't.
I live @ SE 30th and Ankeny, so whole foods is most convenient. I will let them know why I won't shop there anymore.
I can't figure out if this is for real or not. I better do some "googling" to find out if this is a real governer or not.
Throw in some VERN FONK insurance, and you've got a deal!!
