I don't need no instructions to know how to rock

If we all manage to pry ourselves away from Deathstorm 2007 coverage, there’s a whole mess of things to get into this weekend. As always, this is not a definitive list, but a few choice selections, like a Monster's of Rock CD.

  • Tonight at Space there’s a great line up for the CD release party for Spouse. Front man Jose Ayerve, always a busy man, also headed up Bully Club among other side projects. On Tuesday, Spouse released its fourth full-length album, "Relocation Tactics." They're playing tonight with Hiss & Chambers and Cult Maze. While I haven’t had the chance to see Cult Maze live, I caught Hiss & Chambers at SPACE a little while back, and they’ve got sort of a hard driving sound, a little indie, a little mainline pop, and are great fun. The show’s 18 plus, and starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $7.
  • Saturday you can catch Gabe FM at the White Heart. Gabe’s a beat hound and usually digs anything that makes people get up and dance. One of the last times I saw him spin he was putting on a set of Southern rap, or as he said “down south huslta music.” Kick off's at 9 p.m., 21+ and it's free to get past the door.
  • At 8 p.m. Sunday at Genos, Phantom Buffalo, Citadel and the Enchantments are playing a benefit to raise money for the Portland non-profit MENSK. Each summer, they put together the roof top films over at the Spring Street garage as well as the truck shows.

    Truck shows in this case feature local art traveling around town in the back of a truck on First Fridays. Though now that I think about it, there could be some confusion with monster truck shows…and now all I’m thinking about is a fire-breathing truckasaurus eating people’s paintings.


See you out, and make sure to grab your ID.

"Deathstorm 2007" ??? HAHAHAHAH. Pretty good phrase to describe a storm government bureau is still calling "rain, heavy at times..."

With all the hype I expect at least a category 3 hurricane.

Way to go, my man.

Deathstorm, I like it. Down south the hype was even worse.

In other news- under the cover of the Imus thing, Air America radio host Sam Seder was demoted from his prime weekday spot to a sunday show. I will miss listening to him while I work.

"I don't need no instructions". !!!!

You have got to be kidding me. Has the newspaper lowered its standards to the point that the most basic grammar skills are no longer necessary?

What a joke. The next headline will probably read, "Drive safe".

Add another fan of the
DEATHSTORM 2007 to the list....
good one, and keep at it, this is a talent: you are able to call things what- they -want -us- to -think- of -them -as...
you know instead of thinking about the real thing like Operation Kill Every Innocent Iraqi and Operation Raise Funds for Halliburton

"I don't need no instructions to know how to rock" Grammar???

Is this the front page of the state's largest newspaper, or a blog???

I can understand the author's desire to connect with the youth of today through an understanding of their interests, but really...stupidity shouldn't be one of those areas!!

That doesn't make it right. In fact, it makes it worse. More teens are likely listening to that than reading this article.

It is irressponsible.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force isn't something to listen to.

@Drew Gwyer: "Is this the front page of the state's largest newspaper, or a blog???"

Blog. See where it says "Blog Index"? You'd think readers who take the time to comment on stuff like this could at least be expected to *observe*.

LOVE this column. Keep it up, Justin.

Justin is a former newspaper intern and has the scar tissue to prove it. Justin has been a staff writer for the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram since 2003, and in 2004 began writing a weekly column in the Monday Magazine.

If he had to pick a label, the column would fall under "youth culture," covering everything from high school dance etiquette, dealing with college debt, the resurgence of Roller Derby and Portland's one-of-a-kind music scene. This of course has not stopped him from answering letters to Santa Claus or writing about his experience riding shotgun in a drift car.

Justin is an export from the Midwest. He is a graduate of the University of Missouri and is originally from Minnesota. He enjoys bacon, cheap beer, redheads, Burt Reynolds jokes and wondering what the soundtrack to his life would sound like.

When he grows up he wants to be an international art thief. Or Captain America.

Until then he'll be bringing you dispatches about "the young people" and what they do.
