It's been a surprisingly busy news week here, considering the holiday that usually everybody takes off early for to go relax - but what a TON of great happenings this Fourth!

One of the coolest things I've ever done was cover the Olympic Trials under way in Eugene this week. Oregonians pad the ranks for team USA this year, check it out, it'll be a great way to celebrate the holiday t...

Sun's out, eh?
OK, the title of this post was a reference to Dave Brubek, who played Thursday night at the Schnitz. A benefit for Music For the Heart-Struble Foundation. The Man.

Hold Steady - to rock

It's never too early in the week for a concert, though sometimes Monday feels that way. Minneapolis faves (now based in NYC) The Hold Steady hit the stage at the Crystal Ballroom last night, not letting a small crowd keep them down.

The big one kicks off over at the Memorial Coliseum when Interpol hits the Rose City in support of their new album, Our Live to Admire. The disc checked in at #4 on the ...

When Elliot Smith's double disc posthumous 'New Moon' came out I think it was like 85 and sunny, so I didn't get to disc 2 actually until this past weekend. Perfect, of course.
Coming up this week is the first ever
