The city council tried to add it a couple years ago and a bunch of hippies and people I used to respect fought it with the aid of out of state right wing money and I’ve never quite respected my fellow Portlanders since.

Alongside Pitchfork we used to have Skyscraper, Punk Planet, Tiny Mix Tapes, Blastitude, Chunklet, Arthur, Magnet, Dusted, the Aquarius Records newsletter, Fake Jazz, Heartattack, and dozens of blogs. Loved some, hated some, but it was all a living and thriving ecosystem.

Nearly everything John Coltrane did in his short life is touched with an otherworldly luminosity, but there’s something about the 1961 Village Vanguard recordings that just feels deeper than about anything else. Eric Dolphy of course contributes to this.

Boredoms - Seadrum/House of Sun
Was this the last original thing we got from them? Was it a conclusion to a trilogy or an extra session? All I definitely know for sure is they were early Alice Coltrane adopters.

If Pitchfork died in the early 00’s I would have absolutely been popping the cork as they were the snarkiest and shittiest voice in an absolute ocean of great music press. But now it’s just one more symptom of the Enshittification of everything.

Shadow Ring - 1992-2002
Diving into this monstrous compilation of one of the weirdest and most wonderful bands. For the uninitiated, like English psych folk, The Residents, and the Fall reimagined by drowned ghosts and sentient radios. And it gets stranger from there.

That was my problem with it, I think it’s fine to not have a kiss scene and in fact potentially refreshing, but the scene was obviously set up to end with a kiss and it felt awkward when it didn’t.

Immaculately researched and very readable book about that “Holy Ghost” of American music Albert Ayler. A deeply sad tale as the fate of the Ayler brothers is grim but it helps illuminate a beautiful and frustrating body of work.

I’ll definitely never succeed in business as I just don’t understand the corporate urge to gut/zombify legacy names like National Geographic, Jazz Times, HBO, AV Club/The Onion, Twitter, and now Pitchfork. I don’t really even see where it makes business sense.

For some reason this is the first I wanted to hear. Maybe because I think him and Sonny Sharrock work so well together and wished they’d done more.

In grunge hungover Seattle of course a band inspired by Can, Neu, Silver Apples, Suicide, electric Miles, BBC Radiophonic, and Talk Talk was an odd one out, but that means their albums have dated better than others as people caught up to their influences.

From 2015 until the pandemic shut it down PDX had an explosion of bristling and original postpunk bands. This four album run by Mope Grooves matched peers like Lithics and Collate and earned furtive comparisons to Eno, Raincoats, and Faust in a desperate attempt to capture…
