The Doppleganger has long been a mystery, but now consider it solved. "A double, an identical replica of a person.. The idea behind this is that everyone has a Doppleganger, an identical copy of themselves somewhere in the world.. If the person is good, then the Doppleganger will be evil and vice versa.. It is even said that if the two should meet, then they will both perish.Although there is no evidence that Dopplegangers exist, some people have actually reported claims of witnessing what they believe to be their Doppleganger.
Our friend Natalie sent some pictures of the April 4th show @ the Blood Bank. "the photos are of larians and bird announced land. i suck, so i didnt get any shots of church." Well, we think she far from sucks and give mass-snaps for sharing these great shots. -Thanks Natalie!
As i'm sure everybody knows, We're hosting the Best Band PDX 2009 poll on the Show-Guide.. Our friend MIKE informed us that when you hit the [Enter] key on the keyboard after typing in a band - the #1 band gets a vote rather than the band that was manually typed in... That means that The Closet Monsters' vote count is unnaturally high and they didn't really get as many votes as are now counted.. We've thought about the best way to handle this and consulted some good people to help figure this one out.. What we've decided to do is to NOT start the survey over but rather delete the bad count for The Closet Monsters.
The Thermals playing "Pillar Of Salt" Live @ Jackpot Records, Portland, Oregon 7.24.2009This video is from our friend Andrew.. The video production is amazing and we're not sure how he did it.. regardless, it's a great vid and Andrew should post more (wink wink). He's got a full channel of good looking videos.. If you're into music more on the indie side of the scene then be sure to Check out his video page menomenation.blip.tv/

Okay, maybe not 'spits' but we stuck that in there for Jay Awesome and you other minneapolisotans.. We usually don't post press releases from bars but we love bikes and also being cooler than Minneapolis. —from doug fir: Doing Our Part In Reclaiming "The Most Bike Friendly Community"Portland has been atop of Bicycle Magazine's most bike friendly cities since 1995.. We have always looked down at the competition.. Well, until now.
we jacked the following from http://www.indiegogo.com/savebackspace and suggest that you go there and make a donation or, if you personally can't, tell a friend who can afford to make a donation and save one of portlands last ALL-AGES music venues and all-around baddass space!Backspace is in Trouble.Regardless of the role Backspace plays, and that Backspace would like to continue to give to the people of Portland, we have basically been told by the landlord that if we can't come up with $10,000, by the 1st of January, that we will be thrown out.. This means we would no longer be able to play a pivotal role in being a community space for the people of Portland.. We wouldn't be able to house benefits for local non-profits.. We wouldn't be able to give bands an all-ages venue to play in.
