It’s Happening Tonight!
MUSIC—Phil Elverum’s quiet, plaintive voice is about as close to a physical embodiment of the Pacific Northwest as it’s possible to get—someday he’ll just evaporate into wisps of cloud. In the meantime, he continues to release dreamy, intimate albums as Mount Eerie. Fun fact: Elverum has a new photo book called Dust. Would you believe […]

Sunday Emporium
Mostly through the Portland Flea organization, Portland is quietly proliferating its frequency of flea markets. They don’t have that generations-old mustiness cultivated quite yet, but it’s a fantastic way to ferret through vintage oddities and see the work of small-business start-ups. The latest addition to the rotating schedule (third Sundays at Union/Pine, second Sundays at […]

What Are You Doing this Weekend?
BIKES! Dirk VanderHart: “At the risk of becoming a caricature: Bike rides. I’m going to see how much Pedalpalooza I can get going this year, and tomorrow afternoon’s Pedalcar Karaoke III ride seems like my ticket in. The reality of this thing can’t possibly be as beautiful as the vision in my head. But, then, […]

It’s Happening Tonight!
MUSIC LIT—James Fearnley’s seen a LOT of shit in his years squeezing the squeezebox (that’s an accordion, duh!) for the Pogues (they’re Irish punk wizards, duh!). Which means you should probably hustle your rumps over to Powell’s and hear him talk about his new memoir, Here Comes Everybody. He’ll be in conversation with Colin Meloy. […]

Tonight: XRAY.fm and 24 Hour Party People

Good times. Anyway, as an added bonus feature, XRAY is hosting an after-party following the film’s screening, with DJs […]

It’s Happening Tonight!
BIKE FUN—It’s June, again, meaning: Get ready to see things happen on a bike you’re not necessarily comfortable with. And join up with this evening’s Pedalpalooza Kickoff Ride, a fitting beginning to three weeks of bicycle-centric joy. It’ll set sail in inner Southeast, and end in a mystery spot—sort of like Pedalpalooza as a whole. […]

It’s Happening Tonight!
HELLO, SAILOR!—Last year Fleet Week was cancelled because the Republicans hate America and our military (AKA the not-so-great federal sequester of 2013). But this year? Those sexy, sexy sailors are back! Head down to the Waterfront to visit the impressive US, Canadian, and Coast Guard ships, or simply stand around looking helpful downtown. (Sexy sailors […]
