Portland Saturday Events (New Years Day), January 1, 2011 Read the rest of this entry »

By Terry Gentry:

As we enter the last day of 2010, it is time to shine some light on the musicians who make Portland the great music city we love. Here are twenty bands, albums, and downloads that can keep you rolling through twenty-eleven.

In order to download most of these, you need to right-click/control-click and “save”.

————————————————————————

Menomena
Mines [Purchase]
Probably not a surprise, since this Mines has got a tremendous amount of accolades, well deserved, from the music press. The album is a astonishing piece of work, put together by people that are barely on speaking terms. Download Track: TAOS

————————————————————————

Portugal. The Man
American Gheto [Purchase]
I have to admit I love this band and would have probably put anything they release in the top 5.  American Gheto is a well crafted political rock album. Download Track: Dead Dog (via Redthreat)

————————————————————————

Mimicking Birds
Mimicking Birds [Purchase]
You will not find this on many Best of 2010 lists but you should. Nate Lacy's voice is haunting.  Either with an acoustic or electric guitar the music is beautiful. Burning Star is possibly my favorite song of the year. Download Track: Burning Star (via Whale In A Cubicle)

After a quick 2 game road trip, the Blazers are matched up with a divisional opponent for the 3rd straight game. It's the Jazz again, this time at home. The Jazz rebounded from their rare home court loss to the Blazers on Monday, with a win last night in Los Angeles against the Clippers. They're now in Portland to play their second game in as many days.

The good news is that Marcus Camby returns tonight after rolling his ankle against the Jazz on Monday. The bad news is Read the rest of this entry »

The Nuggets on paper:
Starting five: Kenyon Martin, J.R. Smith, Nene, Chauncey Billups, Aaron Afflalo
Off the bench: Chris Andersen, Shelden Williams, Gary Forbes, Ty Lawson
