Sinister: oregon is bad, catch it if you can

[Courtney Knopf]

Hello again, dears. two posts from me in as many days. that's quite shocking 
really. at this rate i may become a regular poster.

Tonight rather than reveling in my extra day off from school by going out 
and doing something moderately entertaining and/or debauched, i sat at home 
and watched the Real World/Road Rules Challenge 2000. why, oh why am I such 
a slave to the Bunim-Murray machine? tell me WHY i care that Piggy is afraid 
to bungee jump, not to mention the fact that her name is Piggy! yet i watch. 
i'm helpless. clearly i have no self-discipline.


>Talking of Oregon - well, I've never been, but I learnt all I needed to 
>from Jello Biafra's description of being attacked by bat-wielding rednecks 
>in Portland (I think).

well, in defense of my hometown, i must say that most of the rednecks who 
populate the state of oregon (and there are QUITE a few of them) tend to do 
so outside of the Portland city limits. i haven't lived there since i went 
away to college in 1996 and only come back for a week or so at a time, but 
it's mostly the same. just stay the hell out of clackamas county and you're 
good.





>also, i was thinking of doing another show about pop music sung in french. 
>doesn't have to be specifically from france, since there are all those 
>other french speaking countries.

personally, I'd reccommend April March, anything off the Pop Romantique 
compilation from Emperor Norton Records (both of which KPSU should have, if 
they're worth their salt), Valerie LeMercier, Autour De Lucie, Arling & 
Cameron have a few french songs. and considering you're from Portland, if 
you havwen't picked it up already, i'm ordering you to get Pink Martini's 
album "Sympathique" right this instant.

since i got such a response from the angelenos going to the Air show, who 
all ismaking it out to the double booked evening of Catatonia and Travis on 
the 27th?

good night dearies.

xoxo
