Nostalgic dream pop group Wild Nothing join mighty cold wave powerhouse Abe Vigoda in a co-headlining bill!

Wild Nothing is the solo project of Virginia born Jack Tatum, whose music is the product of an unhealthy obsession with nostalgia. Equal parts teenage wasteland and inexplicable regret, his songs are the kind that could only be made by the young at heart. Warped interpretations of Read the rest of this entry »

The Oregon Symphony presents
STORM LARGE
Friday, March 4 | 7:30 p.m.

Tickets: 503-228-1353
Purchase online

It wasn't long ago that Portlanders would have deemed the idea of a collaboration between the Oregon Symphony and Storm Large — the enfant terrible of Portland rock music — the most unimaginable of pairings.

But after her surprising and wildly successful orchestral debut before a sellout crowd at a 2010 Valentine's concert, and an appearance at the orchestra's "Countdown to Carnegie" benefit concert earlier this season, the orchestra and Large are now among one another's biggest fans.

It's a Storm Large event, so it's safe to say the audience should expect the unexpected. Some show tunes? Probably. Some classics from the Great American Songbook? Of course. Something edgier? For sure. More than that we really can't say, because a diva like Storm Large always reserves the right to tinker with her set list right up until it's time to walk out on stage.

Ticket availability is again very limited, and a sold-out performance is likely. Buy tickets early to avoid disappointment.

We have a pair of tickets to give out to next Monday's Foodportunity @ the Heathman. To win, comment on this post why you would like to attend.

The previous events have sold out, and there will not be tickets available at the door. Therefore, if you purchase and win, your money will be refunded. Also, early purchasers have a chance to be in session with Byron Beck (info below). Winner will be drawn and emailed Thursday, March 3rd.

Gerald Wallace's Top 10 Dunks

Saw this video on Dwight Jayne's Comcast Sports blog and its pretty good. The top 3 dunk is a posterization of a guy named Greg Oden. Gerald Wallace debuts tonight as the Portland Trail Blazers host the Atlanta Hawks. Game starts at 7:30 on Comcast Sports and you will likely see Dwight Jaynes on “Talkin' Ball” show after.
