When I think of modern power pop, I think of Dirtnap. So power pop isn't necessarily a negative label. A band like White Wires is a great example.
I think Dirtnap is pretty diverse and The Cripples are like a garage Screamers so there way more going on there. definitely one of my favorite modern labels.
In Portland I work as a cabbie. In Portland this is actually a pretty good job. The company is fair Ndbrespected And their is a certain amount of brand loyalty that keeps us busy and making decent $.
That being said, over the past few years the city has been overrun by monied douchebags seeking a hot deal because rent is so ridiculous in the bay, NY etc. And Portland is now on the map so to speak. It used to be a place where outsiders moved but now the insiders are turning it into a giant tapas restaurant/ mixology bar/ doggie day care.
I kick myself every day for not having my shit together and buying a house here earlier (prices have doubled in the past 5 years) does anyone have experience buying a house when your income isn't, eh, on paper much of the time? I have a decent amount saved but that's about it.
Anyone thinking of moving to Portland: don't. Sure, its pretty but there are 20 condo/ luxury apartment budilings goingnup in my neighborhood alone. Studio apartments now go for well over a grand. A house, forget about that. In NE or SE it'd be a few grand for a good spot easy. Buying in these neighborhoods, half a mil these days, at least. There is no industry except the service sector. There are a lot of trust-fund assjlles doing brunch, walking their dogs and shopping all day but don't seem to be in any hurry to be anywhere as far as a job. No idea what All these people do for a living
