Killing Civilians

The tracklist for the PDX Pop Now! compilation is out. Looking at the songs on the first list, I have this incredible feeling of wanting to take all my non-recyclable garbage and dump it into our neighbors’ backyard.

DISC 1
01 Au – “Are Animals”
02 Blue Cranes – “S.T.I.L.L.”
03 Meth Teeth – “Unemployment Forever”
04 The Joggers – “Golden Wage”
05 A Weather – “Spiders, Snakes”
06 New Bloods – “Oh, Deadly Nightshade!”
07 Portland Cello Project feat. Heather Broderick – “For Misty”
08 Copacrescent – “Do My Thing”
09 Y La Bamba – “Fasting in San Francisco”
10 Valet – “We Went There”
11 Strength – “Wilderness”
12 Swim Swam Swum – “Not in Your Way”
13 Andy Combs and The Moth – “Let’s Ride”
14 Still Pending – “Drivin’ to California”
15 Yellow Swans – “Velvet Water”
16 Kelli Schaefer – “Lasso the Moon”
17 Nick Caceres – “The Victorian Hoedown”
18 Blitzen Trapper – “Crushing the Wheat”
19 Sandpeople – “The Count”
20 Panther – “Puerto Rican Jukebox (Lips and Ribs Remix)”

Damn you, New Bloods! I know where at least one of you lives!

But then, looking at the second disc, all that rage just washes away.

DISC 2
01 Devin Phillips – “Frenchmen Street Strut”
02 Bodhi – “Nadine”

09 Hey Lover – “She’s the Girl for Me”
10 Dragging an Ox Through Water – “Houses & Homonculi”
11 Southern Belle – “Sunnyside”
