Since today’s date is literally 90210, here is the single greatest music moment from that show (yes, better than the Flaming Lips appearance at the Peach Pit After Dark, or when Cap’n Jazz covered the theme song). Nothing weird about a multi-platinum pop band taking a healthy interest in the personal lives of a few […]

Langhorne Slim in the Woods at Pickathon
Here’s a video from Langhorne Slim’s Pickathon set in the woods, one of the undeniable highlights in a weekend that might have consisted entirely of undeniable highlights. Complete with blood-spattered banjo. Check it, and be happy, then be sad that the days of summer sun and watching live music in the green shade of the […]

Thank Goodness for Berger & Green
The Mercury boys are out on a date today with a young lady who was lucky enough to win what can only be described as an extravaganza of awkward self-conscious masculinity and rampant testosterone. I for one dread the possibilities, but if we happen to be involved in some horrible explosive accident during a go-cart […]

Check Out These Kids’ Videos About Portland
Cute up-and-coming, college-age journalists at the Northwest Institute for Social Change stopped by our office last week to ask Patrick and I lots of questions about reporting and media and whether I happened to attend a Harry and the Potters show in summer 2008 (yes).

Well, These Are Just Delightful
I don’t really have anything to say about these, other than I hope the smile they put on your face is as big as the one they put on mine. And another: That’s Jim Henson on the left, Jerry Nelson on the right, and Frank Oz in the back—the puppets were made in their actual […]

Parkour Just Isn’t Dangerous Enough
That’s why there’s Pomparkour, a version of parkour done with ladders. After all, all that running, jumping, and springing just isn’t challenging enough, so why not carry a cumbersome eight-foot ladder. Actually, these hooked ladders reportedly only weigh about 10 kg or so (roughly 22 pounds), but Jesus, some of these stunts are insane. And […]

The Living Room Market
Before heading to Violetta for my delicious burger, I blew most my money at the newest Portland Farmers Market location right in the middle of the city’s living room. At the Pioneer Square market I snagged some gorgeous ripe “Valentine” sheep’s cheese (it’s like an aggressive brie) from Ancient Heritage Dairy, a demi-baguette from Pearl […]
