* FYI, this stuff is old. The current TRMW is here.
I picked up the new Kill Rock Stars sampler, Mollies Mix, yesterday and I am really enjoying it. There are so many awesome musical things coming out of the northwest and the twenty-one tracks in this mix are evidence of this. Some other great things: Point Line Plane, The Thermals, Sleetmute, Sleater-Kinney… and those are just Portland bands! Lucky me!
Also, Hello! Video is this weekend! It’s been too long!
Another weekend comes to a close, and all I got was this lousy hangover. It’s a life. Went to the Electroclash(tm) tour on Friday, featuring Peaches, Chicks on Speed, and the northwest’s own Tracy and the Plastics. The whole thing was entertaining, if a little overblown. I would not have paid $18 to see what was essentially very stylish kareoke. But, hey, I got a free ticket and I had fun.
Tonight I will attend one of my favorite Portland institutions. “Hello Video” is a monthly screening of local independent film. But it’s not (too) pretentious or snotty. In fact many of the films are really funny, while maintaining a high level of creativity. And it’s in a bar, like everything should be! Stir all this together, and you’ve got yourself something special. Should be great.
…now to fill the belly.
