Just thought you guys might find this interesting. Remember that whole mess when the Portland Point leveled their healthy music criticism (almost as fair and balanced as FOX) on the Honey Clouds release show, prompting general INTERNET-RAGE and prompting us to post defending local music? Well, it kind of seems like the negative response got [...]
A lot of the increasingly large set of internet-dwellers and Portlanders who read this blog will probably have seen the Portland Point’s recent article regarding the Honey Clouds’ CD Release show.
