To help a fellow complainer out:
I work for a music corporation based in New York City called Gigantic Music, and would appreciate it if you could please post something regarding an upcoming show in Portland:

August 24th, WEDNESDAY at Space - 358 Congress St.
THE CLOUD ROOM and THE PERNICE BROS.

THE CLOUD ROOM just got voted “Band of the Week” by NME, “Band of the Day” on SPIN.com and are hosting Subterranean on MTV2 in October!

“Hand Clapping Beats and a melody the Kaisers would give their last ‘ahaaaaaaa’ for is no mean feat” —NME

“Over ahhs that bleed like  watercolors, these Brooklynites play swirling, synthed-up guitar pop for  wistful folks worrying about blackouts, floods, and the next Britpop  backlash.” - SPIN Magazine


“In the race to be the next big thing, The  Cloud Room is about to give Bloc Party and The Dears a run for their money.” -  PopMatters

“Intelligent, catchy and mighty good, this is the record  we’ve been waiting for all year.” - The Tripwire

“Their sound is a  delightful hybrid of the energy of 2004 indie rock and 1960’s California pop,  giving them a unique voice.” - NY Metro

THANK YOU.

Hmmm...personalized spam that gives you an ego boost, promises you traffic on your blog & then sends you to a software site. Very clever bait & switch technique.

I love good beer too. Then again, I also like bad beer.

I agree with MUCH more of this list! (I did like the hate one though!!) :-)
