Day 7, Playlist #7, "HOMETOWN PRIDE"


Ok, all y'all. This is my last playlist for the week. It's been an interesting little journey. It's funny how music can change you. (Or maybe you choose certain music based on your place in life) That reminds me of a movie quote...
"What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?" (from High Fidelity, of course)
Today, I was thinking about the Portland music scene and feeling a little hometown pride. There's a lot of good stuff coming out of PDX these days...
