If you are as ardent a fan as I am of They Might Be Giants, you’ll have seen this video already. If not, it’s only been out a few weeks, so go ahead and give it a view:
The band will be playing in Portland on September 27 (buy tickets).
This week’s show is full of Portlandy goodness! All bands playing at the PDX Pop Now festival at AudioCinema. Sorry if you are listening from somewhere else besides Portland…I have more than my fair share of civic pride (and I don’t even live here). I’m sure you’ll like the music anyway.
All the bands’ songs are in the order that they will be playing this weekend.

I don’t know that I’m going to always have the time and energy to provide quite that amount of resources on bands every time, but this being my first show with the new name, and being PDX Pop Now, I thought I’d go all out.
So, I’ve been sick of the name “Post Modern Rock Show” for a long time now (more on why on another post later), and I decided that after my fifth year anniversary, it was time to do something about it.
This here is the new site! What do you think? I designed the old one over three years ago, and it was outdated and the show was outgrowing it. This site is powered by WordPress, which means that you, yes you can leave comments! And it also means that (hopefully) there’ll be no glitches with the podcast feed.
You can subscribe to the podcast using the new url: http://www.thatsoundradio.com/?feed=podcast. If you’re not sure about how to do that, read this, or I’ll be posting a video on here soon explaining how to do it. (It’s actually really easy.)
So, let me know what you think! Let’s test those comments and make sure they work! I’ll be adding more features and content here in the coming days and weeks.
