This is the story of America in the 21st century, especially the quote from a music *critic* that says, "Yes, they are evil, but it would be good for our city." No, it won't. Live Nation is a cancer: www.theguardian.com/music/articl...

‘A death sentence for music’: the battle for America’s last Live Nation-free citywww.theguardian.com Portland has no Live Nation concert arena, and fans and artists love its fiercely independent music scene. But with a new venue looming, will all that change?

A new show shot in Portland?!?! It's called "Criminal"... just what we needed.

The Criminal TV show started shooting in Portland on Monday! Exciting!

Question of the day:

Steve Albini engineered the soundtrack of the 90's and beyond

“i have a reservation” “i don’t see it in our system” “here’s my receipt” “nope, no record” “but i called to confirm” “that’s impossible” (pushing phone off of counter) “we don’t have a phone”

I know what I'm seeing next week.

I see vehicles in my local neighborhood that ignore speed limit, stop signs, do not give way, etc. This has become the normal mode of drivers.

Rather than talk about how cyclists and pedestrians are "vulnerable," it's more accurate to call drivers "dangerous," a Bike Portland writer argues. Learn more in headlines.

Here at Old Town Brewing to kick off Rev Nat West's Portland City Council campaign. And what does he do? Uses it to give a platform to other City Council candidates from his and other districts. He genuinely wants to work with others for a progressive Portland. Vote, and kick in $5 if you can!

Good morning from Portland

"Free speech" guy does not really enjoy free speech.

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon landed a big interview for the first episode of his new digital show “The Don Lemon Show,” which was set to start streaming Monday on the social media platform X. But his interview subject — X owner Elon Musk — apparently wasn’t fond of it.

Don Lemon says Elon Musk cancelled X deal after taping an interview togetherwww.washingtonpost.com Don Lemon had a deal for a show on X. But he says Elon Musk canceled it after Lemon interviewed him for the debut episode.
