A Swimmin' Affair

"IF THERE IS a theme, it came about pretty organically among all of us," says alto saxophonist Reed Wallsmith. "A lot of amazing and a lot of really rough stuff has happened to us," he adds, referring to the time since Blue Cranes' 2010 album Observa ... [Published Portland Mercury - May 22 2013]

Inner Space

LONERISM turned out to be a fitting title for Tame Impala's second record. Kevin Parker—the space cadet running the good ship Impala—recorded the entire album himself at his home studio in Perth, Australia, left to his own devices. It isn't a sparse bedroom ...

Mommy Issues

COHO PRODUCTIONS often seems to fly just below the radar—I think it's the downside of their unique co-production model, which also happens to be their great strength. The shows that make up CoHo's highly curated season are chosen from projects submitted ... [Published Portland Mercury - May 22 2013]

Sance Rock

THE BOTTOMLESS CAULDRON of metal is bubbling over with female-fronted, '70s-worshipping bands these days. These are bands that don't necessarily fall into the metal category, but their bleak, bluesy riffs come directly from the bedrock beginnings of metal, ... [Published Portland Mercury - May 22 2013]

Dino DNA

OVER THE LAST five months, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield's YouTube dispatches from the International Space Station cracked open a sense of childlike wonder the internet didn't even know it had.

Quotes

"The reasons may be very different," says Portland veteran pollster Tim Hibbitts, "but at the end of the day, what you've got is a coalition of folks you'd normally not find together on many other issues."
"I'm worried," Otis says. "On the one hand, I know the young men we work with want to be different. [But] everyone they know is gang-affected."
Many of the novel's passages are delicately crafted, even downright beautiful. McIlvain writes, "[McLeod] accepted the can from Passos, cracked the tab—the sound of barbecues, camping trips. The transporting sound of elsewhere. The elders sat on the bus-stop bench and drank in long continuous gulps, as if discovering their thirst as they tried to sate it." But the imagery tends to fall flat without the support of a plot that has strong forward momentum, and unfortunately this storyline isn't even as compelling...
"I hope the CATC and the police will work things out," he says, "and the police will be able to start taking people there."
