pop now!
PDX Pop Now! also puts out a compilation CD to coincide with the festival, and the 2006 comp is ridiculous, featuring unreleased tracks from Stephen Malkmus, The Thermals, and more, including these two amazing tracks. That Menomena joint is one of the most beautiful things I've heard in a while, I can't wait for their new record:"The PDX Pop Now! Festival is organized by a group of local Portland musicians, writers, and fans from the PDX-POP mailing list who've coalesced around the idea of organizing a free local music festival. Our mission is to celebrate not only the bands who've achieved "success", but also the amazing lesser-known bands around town. PDX Pop Now! is a local music event meant for everyone. No matter what age you are, or what type of music you listen to, our goal is to provide you one place to catch some of Portland's finest, in a safe and fun atmosphere."

Hey Chris.
I thought I'd pop in and ask if you fancied submitting something to The
Contrast Podcast?
It would be great to hear what you'd choose amongst all the other bloggers and podcasters!
Thanks,
Tim
menomena is pretty much the best band ever. but i say that a lot, don't i? :-)
if you're looking for a great menomena b-side chris, listen to Let's All Unite!
In a band-reference laden review, PF rips GvB's beloved Sound Team today. As much as I despise PF's pretentious reviews, they are pretty right on with this one. Of course they could have saved themselves a lot of time and just stated, "You've heard all these songs before."
