WordCamp PDX
Well WordCamp PDX came and went. It truly was a whirlwind for me. I stayed at my old friend Mikey’s house on Friday night and of course we stayed up late. And of course WordCamp had to start at eight in the freaking morning! Thankfully it wasn’t in downtown Portland so parking wasn’t an issue at all. CubeSpace was ground zero for WordCamp PDX.
Shoegazer Alive 2
Found this excellent .mp3 blog called Shoegazer Alive 2 that has tons of great classic shoegazer bands ready for you to download. There’s numerous hidden gems from the early to mid 90s that you probably missed the first time around. Even I found a few bands I’d never heard of! And that’s hard for me. Not sure of the legality but most of the bands are no longer around and the vast majority are from small indie labels and no longer in print. Enjoy…
Saturday’s alright for fightin’
So I’m sitting here on a Saturday night realizing it’s been just under a month since my last update. I guess it would be threadbare to say I’ve been busy but, as boring as that sounds, it’s mostly true. Sorry to disappoint.
A lot has happened in the last 4 weeks but here are few highlights:
My Bloody Valentine is back
Yep that’s right! It was announced late last year yet those of us who’ve been fans since the early 90s had many reasons to be suspicious. But they just played 2 warm-up gig’s at the London ICA Friday and Saturday night for their string of shows next week at the Roundhouse. Here’s a review from NME. And a Flickr set I found from Friday night’s gig. They’ll be coming to the states in the Fall. This all makes me very happy!
