Release Notes:
http://www.pdxpopnow.com/
PDX POP Now! is a labor of love, bringing together local volunteers to put on a
free, nonprofit, all ages, KICK ASS music festival in the heart of Southeast
Portland. Mixing the biggest and smallest acts, the softestquietest and the
brashestloudest, PDX POP Now! goes well beyond the bounds of pop music,
incorporating folk, experimental, instrumental, hip hop, electronics, and more.
The PDX POP Now! 2006 Compilation is (not surprisingly) similarly diverse.
Exclusive tracks from Stephen Malkmus, The Thermals, Menomena, Viva Voce,
Vursatyl (of Lifesavas), Talkdemonic, Tara Jane OÆNeil, and more highlight PDX
Pop Now! 2006. ItÆs worth noting, too, that this compilation was assembled
completely blind. None of the organizers knew who they were listening to when
they heard the tracks. Yes, artists like Colin Meloy, March Fourth, and Jackie O
Motherfucker are pretty easy to pick out, but the bands on this comp are on here
because they represent the pure sonic best of Portland and nothing else. As a
collection, PDX POP Now! 2006 aim at celebrating and promoting PortlandÆs vital
music community -- the 40-song collection also features musical gems contributed
by PDX favorites Mirah, The Joggers, The Blow, and The Planet The. PDX Pop Now!
extended an open invitation to its cityÆs musicians to submit music for
consideration for the album as well, and selections culled from the work
submitted by more than 350 artists round out the comp. Displaying PortlandÆs
tremendous musical diversity, rock, pop, punk, hip hop, folk, electronic and
experimental music, and even an original marching band arrangement are
represented on the discs.
