The right-wing Oregon Catalyst blog couldn't resist taking a poke at the Bend City Council for voting to designate the Portland Avenue bridge the "Peace Bridge."
What the hell is the "Domino Ron"?Those who've driven by the Midtown Music Hall in the past week may have noticed the boarded up window of the ballroom. Wondering what happened? Well, here's how we heard it: some dude - and we're guessing a rather drunken dude - tossed what is believed to be a pint glass through one of the six-foot-tall windows and also smashed out the iconic florescent Domino Room sign.
Takin’ it to the Tower.We've hinted of this for a while, but now can finally confirm that 2009 will indeed yield a new disc from local acoustic powerhouse Moon Mountain Ramblers.
An Oregon judge has handed down a ruling that will make it easier for anonymous posters to libel people on-line - and make it just about impossible for people who are libeled to do anything about it.
This is a little more serious than the out-of-gas scenario.The B Foundation has AAA. And this is a damn good thing because the Los
Angeles-based surf rock band has run out of gas and found itself
stranded on the side of the road somewhere outside of Pueblo, Colo.
This is unfortunate, but bassist Jason Moorehead, leaning up against
the band's 24-foot RV, says it's not a big deal. In fact this is the
second (and almost the third) time the band has run out of gas in the
last year.
Rather than hoof it the two miles to the nearest gas
station, purchase gas and a can in which to carry it before carrying
said gas back another two mile back to the RV, Moorehead and company
are waiting it out and the bassist uses the time to relay over the
phone some details about his band and the nine months they spent on the
road this year. During this trek the band opened a string of shows for
Sublime descendents Slightly Stoopid, including a packed show at the
Midtown Ballroom on a strangely snowy October night.
The B-Foundation, Mirf the Bing
friday 19
These guys rolled
through in October to fill the opening slot for Slightly Stoopid and
now they're back with their own headlining show and hopefully a full
tank of gas. We'll let you in on that inside joke - all you have to do
is flip the page and give a read to the story about the band. Oh yeah,
show up early to this one and take in a set from the youthful reggae
dudes of Mirf the Bing. All ages, 8pm doors, 9pm show. $10. Domino
Room, 51 NW Greenwood Ave.

Are you sick, tired, fed up, disgusted, depressed and angry after eight long, long, LONG years of George W. Bush? Do you wish there was something you could do to get him out of the White House sooner?
As we promised on the air last night, here are the Top 5 lists from the SourceWaves radio show on 92.7FM.
Bend may not be Illinois, but our politics isn't exactly as pure as the driven snow on Pilot Butte. KOHD-TV reported today that somebody apparently tried to bribe City Councilor Peter Gramlich to do him or her a favor in drawing the city's Urban Growth Boundary.
Bend's Pregnant Man is in the world news again - he's expecting another child in June and was the subject of a TV documentary in Britain - which inspired blogger Tim Teeman of The Times of London to comment on the alleged weirdness of Bend's name.
