That Sound #001 - PDX Pop Now!
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.

CRIMEY! I totally would of gone last night if i had only known. Sigh. Oh well.
BTW, Let me know how you got wordpress working! I wanna do it when I restart my music and media blog this fall!
And what’s with the name change btw?

Luq: Thanks! And welcome to the new blog. Yeah, Anne is an awesome girl. I’m hoping to get ahold of her full-length once she’s released it, as well as her other project, Sweater.
Aaron, I’ll give you a detailed explanation on MSN sometime soon about WordPress. It’s not a bad little system. Blogger isn’t bad either, and you can use it to publish to your server also, not just a something.blogspot.com address. As for the name change, I’ll go into it in more detail on my show next week. The short answer is, I was tired of it, and it was really esoteric not in a good way

The Snuggle-ups and System and Station are currently waging a fierce battle with the rest of my playlist. Other bands are falling left and right.
