..."The 17 selections here range from the sleek, haunting rock Kaitlyn Ni Donovan to the flat-out charge of Gravelpit, from Chris Newman's heavy, jittery garage psychedelia to Mckinley's entrancing chamber pop; from the indelible guitar pop hooks of The Speeding Ferlinghettis to the experimental grooves of Kaiju 7 or King Black Acid, to the incomparable Cheralee Dillon, who sounds half like some hillbilly poetess singing Brecht.
Yet all these tracks, too, have an origin in common. All were played live and recorded live on the Church Of Northwest Music,* Marc Baker's Sunday night testimonial to hometown talent, broadcast on portland's listener supported community radio station, KB00. When Baker (who, by the way, spent years managing Portland's legendary skarock band Crazy Bs calls his weeky 90 minutes
"the greatest show in the history of known radio" or describes bands riding golf carts around KBOO's palatial studios, you can hear the smirk in his voice.
But on that first part, he's not joking. He's just letting his passion carry him away. And maybe that's what music such as this is all about."
