For those who think that Portland was only responsible for cool and interesting music in the last 10 years will be astonished by this unusual (and somewhat inscrutable) concept record, featuring some of the best indie-rock bands from the ’90s.  GUIDED BY VOICES, STEPHEN MALKMUS (of PAVEMENT), HOWE GELB (of GIANT SAND), GRANDADDY and The MINUS FIVE are just a few of the bands represented on this remarkable 2x LP set.  Get conceptual, fellow music geeks!

The Rock’N’Roll Nurse was on tour with RAKEHELL and GO PILLS since the beginning of September, and along the way he picked up some choice vinyl morsels from such disparate places as Eugene, OR and Los Angeles, CA.  Highlights from the spoils will be presented with plenty of commentary on this week’s edition of GE.  Get that collector itch, fellow music geeks!
