From Hot Tubs To Cool Jazz For A Good Cause

by zanger

Last Thursday, I was part of the pdx.fm gang that caught a sneak preview of “Hot Tub Time Machine” at the Lloyd Center Cinemas. I hadn’t been to that theater since my radio/media days and it brought back all kinds of memories — most of which weren’t actually very fond. (It had nothing to do [...]

Getting KINKy

by Cosmic Charlie

It’s been Blast-From-The-Past time at local radio stations.
In light of recent changes to the radio station I usually listen to, I’ve been surfing the dial. While my preference of music-style at work tends to be harder-edged, the only real requirement is that I like what I’m hearing. Most channels stick to a Top-40 format and [...]

The New KUFO: Cue Tool’s Eulogy…

by Cosmic Charlie

(T)he(y) had a lot to say;
(T)he(y) had a lot of nothing to say,
We’ll miss them.
We’re gonna miss them…

As fans of Portland’s rowdiest rock station know, major shakeups have been happening. KUFO has gutted its on-air staff and brought in “talent” from around the country. I checked it out yesterday, and I’ll get to that in [...]

Splendor on a Gloomy Monday

by Radio Gretchen

Portland is such a beautiful city during the sunny summer months, but the transition into the darkness of winter is not a pretty one. My Monday morning Twitter stream was full of tweets about heavy rains and self-diagnosis of various diseases. It was as if I could actually hear bottles of Zoloft being [...]

Say The Call Letters Backward

by Cosmic Charlie

I’m going to try to refrain from using foul language, but no promises. I’m writing this in a fit of barely contained rage.
Alpha Broadcasting has recently purchased several local radio stations, including KUFO. KUFO has never been the pinnacle of highbrow music, but it feeds the sweaty masses with knucklehead rock and occasional snips of [...]

More Holy Than Righteous

by Cosmic Charlie

I went to a concert Wednesday night. It featured music and video projection and was a nostalgia trip for many, while providing an introduction to fans that weren’t even born when the music was written and first performed.
At first glance, one might suspect that Weird Al was filming a video for ‘White and Nerdy‘. The [...]

The Dope Show

by Cosmic Charlie

I didn’t get cake and sodomy, but I did get to chill with the beautiful people.
As I get older, the numbers go up but the youthful spirit maintains. While I’m not ready for bucket lists, there are a few things I want to do before I die. One of those things was to attend a [...]

Les Paul Passes Away

by Motor Jeffries

I am saddened by the passing of Les Paul — guitar making innovator and player extraordinaire. He was 94 years old. Nothing matches the feeling of plugging his namesake electric guitar into a cranked half stack and crushing out power chords. It feels good in your guts to play a Les Paul. Your stomach rumbles, [...]
