PDX Pop Now 2007 CD
We missed attending the PDX Pop Now CD Release party at the Hawthorne Theater on June 8th, but that won’t stop us from picking the mighty CD at Music Millennium for the going, going, gone price of $7! The 2007 PDX Pop Now compilation CD officially went on sale yesterday.
We’ve bought a PDX Pop album every year and I count the music I discover on each release as some of the most enjoyable new music I listen to that year. I doubt I’ll be disappointed this year; there’s too much good stuff! Ok, I’ll stop before I have a coronary, but serious, check out the track listing and pick up the CD for only $7.
