Dear local music fans,

If today is any indication, it’s going to be an oppressively hot week out here in Stumptown. Come cool off with a brew at Conan’s Pub [3862 SE Hawthorne Blvd.] where Dead End Crush will be headlining a live show. Also on the bill will be Portland’s Miss Teen Idaho and Anodyne.

I haven't written here in a while. Things have kinda been crazy around here lately. We just played three shows in the last two weeks and now we're finally getting Fri & Sat night shows, which is pretty cool. Promotion is a bitch ( Read more... )

Dear hip, local music fans,

In case you haven’t heard, Dead End Crush will be performing tonight at the Tonic Lounge [3100 NE Sandy Blvd.] with The Before Picture. This is going to be a FREE SHOW!!! That’s right, you won’t want to miss THIS show, because it’s guaranteed to be PRICELESS (yeah, okay. I know. That really wasn’t all that funny). The ( Read more... )

I should be in a worse mood than I am. Administration is putting their foot down and now we only get a half hour a day to be on line. What the fuck is THAT all about? On top of that, one of my clients had an attempted suicide today. He swallowed a bunch of pills and was taken to the hospital after he started telling everybody that he was God ( ( Read more... )

I was kind of an ass this whole weekend. I was just kinda bored/hyper and highly irritating to all. It was one of those times where you don’t have any energy whatsoever, and no matter where you are, who you’re with, or what you’re doing, everything just seems pointless and drab. I guess you could say I was having a Wurtzel moment. I think one ( Read more... )

Somebody sent me one of those ‘You know you’re a child of the ‘80’s if’ emails today. God did I hate the '80's! I tell everyone that it was even worse for me because those supposed 'best years of my life' were spent having to put up with all the neanderthals that inhabit the greater part of the state of New Jersey. To think that some of those ( Read more... )

I'm severely bored. I'm at work right now. I'm definately going to be quitting, just as soon as I get something lined up. God I hate this job. I can't even FAKE enjoyment anymore. I should be doing work, but I just don't have it in me anymore.( Read more... )

I've been listening to the Goo Goo Dolls non-stop this weekend getting ready for the show tomorrow (cut me a break man, everybody has their guilty pleasures). ( Read more... )

Sorry I'm stuck on this subject today, but I keep hearing such ridiculous statements about it. I’ve heard the question posed today of, why should some people take offense over having to recite ‘under God’ in the pledge? Personally, I believe it stems from the arrogance in the assumption that there is no problem with erroneously forcing the ( Read more... )
