2007-11-06 15:20 Del the Funky Homosapien Signs to Def Jux for New LP
Photo by Jason Bergman Because of his involvement in records like Deltron 3030 and the first Gorillaz album, it's easy to think of Del the Funky Homosapien (formerly Del tha Funkee Homosapien) as just a sci-fi rapper. But dig a little further back in his catalog (like back to his killer 1991 debut, I Wish My Brother George Was Here ), and you find an MC geeked on making genuinely quirky everyman anthems-- like "Pissin' on Your Steps", "The Wacky World of Rapid Transit", and "Sleepin' on My Couch …

2007-11-06 07:00 Photos: SunnO))) / Jesu [Portland, OR; 11/03/07]
Photos by Nilina Mason-Campbell The music at a show featuring both doom lords Sunn O))) and metal god Justin Broadrick's Jesu is plenty dark and spooky on its own, but add Sunn O)))'s trademark fog machine and you've got air as think as the drones. On Saturday night, Portland, Oregon's Hawthorne Theatre was transformed into a lair of pure eeevil thanks to both acts, leaving audience members woozy in the head and in the stomach. More photos and tour dates below. SUNN O))) JESU [MORE...]

2007-11-05 17:49 Carrie Brownstein Blogs for NPR
Stephin Merritt, Georgie James take part in songwriting challenge With Janet Weiss (wo-)manning the skins in the Jicks full-time and Corin Tucker maybe writing but mostly chilling away from the world of indie celebrity right now, most of the post- breakup news coming out of the Sleater-Kinney camp is focused on the day-to-day of Carrie Brownstein. Fortunately, between her ThunderAnt comedic collaboration with Fred Armisen and other miscellany, her day-to-day is plenty newsworthy. Brownstein's la …

2007-11-04 14:50 The Soda Pop Kids - Teen Bop Dream
Novo album dessa banda de Portland/OR, que pra mim, é a melhor banda revivalista que pude ouvir atualmente. Neste segundo album, estão ainda melhores, fazendo qualquer um que ouça pela primeira vez pensar que se trata de uma banda dos anos 70. O Soda Pop Kids faz uma mistura de punk77 com New Wave, tudo isso misturado a uma boa porcentagem de proto-punk num visual totalmente Glam. Ou como diria a nota da Now Wave sobre o album 'Teen Bop Dream', "Imagine the Dead Boys or 1981-82 Replacements show …

2007-10-29 12:23 Monday Morning Uni Watch
It's good to see that all the finest aspects of pro football were on display yesterday in London, where the Giants and Dolphins sloshed around in the mud for three hours before adjourning for fish and chips. But Mark Roberts (or, as the wire service captions identified him, "serial streaker Mark Roberts") gave us plenty of Uni Watch fodder, even with his abbreviated attire. Consider: NFL officials wear socks with two white stripes, but college and high school zebras wear socks with Northwestern …

Oh, Ryan Gosling. I want to take his hand (and the rest of him) and run through sunlit fields of flowers as puppies scamper around us and "Happy Together" or some ridiculously upbeat '60s pop song plays in the background. --Not that I didn't want to when I was 14, or anything ... ... but I saw "Lars and the Real Girl." It was ... he was ... I need crazygness so I can IM her and type four pages of exclamation points. If you know anything about the movie, then you're probably like, "WHAT! " (And i …

2007-10-18 20:01 Birth Control Pills Handed out at a MIddle School
A middle school in Portland, Maine passed a proposal to allow the dispension of birth control pills to kids ranging in age from 11-14 at the local Middle School. I'm almost speechless, except it makes me so angry I cannot remain silent! Of course you know the argument..."kids are going to have sex..better that they don't get pregnant in the process." Consider this quote from one of the school's nurses: "It will provide a means of making sure you don't get pregnant and ruin your school career, an …

The National Lacrosse League, home to many a Syracuse lacrosse alum, has cancelled the 2008 season. In a savvy move out of the NHL playbook, the players rejected the latest proposal from the league over salary and other issues. League Commish Jim Jennings is less than pleased: "I would like to apologize to our fans, first and foremost. We are deeply disappointed that the PLPA's executive committee rejected our proposal without permitting all of the players to vote on the league's final offer. Th …

2007-10-16 03:04 Ron Paul is today's Thomas Jefferson
Oregon Republicans got a wake-up call when their straw poll at the Portland World Trade Center was transformed into a Ron Paul rally, and his supporters crushed the opposition in the poll. About 100 Paul supporters brought signs and banners, waved at traffic and pedestrians for blocks around the center, handed out literature and ended up putting Ron Paul in the winner's seat with 67 percent of the vote. Other candidates couldn't generate enough enthusiasm to get anyone at all to come out with an …

Portland is turning into just another homogenized zone of white, elitist, hipster-approved gentrification. It has no soul of its own, just a borrowed, pseudo-soul that's no different from …
