Like a magic trick transforming a bouquet of flowers into a bird, the mutation of British foursome Bombay Bicycle Club from an indie rock band into an outright synth pop group might seem just as abrupt. Listen to any track from 2011’s A Different Kind of Fix and then hop over to a song from […]
“This is a bad place for a diet,” the top of the menu at the Pour House Grill announces. It is a fair warning, with the rest of the menu listing choices of ribs, chicken wings, piled-high burgers and other offerings of meat slathered in various rich barbecue sauces. There is a brief section for […]
All you have to do to become Etsy royalty is draw a T-rex wearing a cowboy hat. Ryan and Lucy Berkley, the husband and wife team who created this week’s cover image, found that out when they started their online shop on the DIY arts and craft site over six years ago. The Portland couple […]
Starting with the Roots Festival in late September, it has not been uncommon to find Pakit Liquidators—the junkyard off 9th Street in Bend—packed with not only broken toilets, empty metal drums, cabinet doors and loose screws, but also a slew of skinny-jean-wearing, beard-clad-sardines.

Much like the perception of a motorcycle gang, for snowmobilers, there is the view from the outside looking in—usually snowshoers and Nordic skiers considering the noisy machines and their riders with some sort of combination of fear, awe and derision.

And so begins the Source‘s latest film series, “The Grand Anderson,” a celebration of the great quotes, storylines and characters penned and brought to life by writer and director Wes Anderson. Rushmore—a classic tale of one […]
If musical talent can be inherited, Zachary Lucky is the Canadian equivalent of Hank Williams Jr. He’s a Bobby Bare Jr., a Jeff Buckley, a Jacob Dylan, but in his case, the musical bug skipped a generation. Grandson of Canadian country music legend Smiling Johnny Lucky, who the younger Lucky claims was the first musician […]
The latest creation from 10 Barrel Brewing Co., a beer called 16 barrels, is not actually a new beer. In fact, it is over one year old. Intended to be a one-off, a version of this beer was made last year for a St. Valentine’s Day dinner. But the maestros at 10 Barrel loved it […]
In recent months, Bend city councilor and Mayor pro tem Jodie Barram has repeatedly faced the same questions. No, not Mirror Pond. And no, not the city’s surface water improvement project. Nope, not the sewer system overhaul. Give up? The queries Barram has fielded have less to do with her capacity as a city councilor […]
