Pure Pop For Now People

Nick Lowe joins Yo La Tengo for their encores last Saturday in Brooklyn, dusting off this classic paen to the Bay City Rollers.....well done chaps!

Jerome Kersey, R.I.P.

Prayers and thoughts to the family, friends and fans of one of my all time fave Trail Blazers players, Jerome Kersey, who passed away on the 18th of February. His desire and hustle on the court caught our eyes , his efforts to better the community and our state has won our hearts. It's kind of difficult to explain who much his passing is hurting us, but we shall do our best to make sure every day is a rewarding one for the people we encounter every day. Rest in peace my brother.

Rest in peace brother, thank you so much for the great great music over the years and the wisdom you shared with us as you went through your journey in life....you will be sorely missed :(

R.I.P. Katie

Good bye to my mothers beloved 13 yr. old Pomeranian.......such a lovable character around the house and one of the best feel good pets I've come across. Happy to report that she died being loved and cuddled in the arms of my mother around 3 a.m. this morning...the exact same time I was getting up preparing to deal with snowy slushy road conditions in Portland. She is seen here eager to have a piece of the KFC whilst idling in the drive thru...R.I.P. Katie <3 <3

Out With The Old.........

.....not sure if all of these mattresses are outside of a Springfield, OR hotel due to a bedbug infestation or just because they were busted after a porn star convention, but this was the scene today around 12:25 pm today.......just waiting to find a new home somewhere. :D

Winter On The Way
