Spin Cycle: Feel the Pain - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It can be tough to focus on new music releases when you’re mired in the hell of aches and pains. I’m lucky to have been almost entirely free from it the vast majority of my adult life, but as I descend into the dreaded middle age (gagged a little bit writing that), the looming fangs of discomfort have begun to gnash out in ever-increasing acuity.

Spin Cycle: Feel Good In Your Own Skin - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The world seems mired in a perpetual scheming to dash you this way and that, to discard the intended path of your momentum, and leave a great big sinkhole in the road.

Numerological, spiritual, and religious interpretations of the number proffer ideas of rebirth, of change. Humans utilize the five senses to help navigate the world around them, with five toes and five fingers on each appendage. And w
Listen to the Sounds of Resistance (and Cumbia) on Orquestra Pacifico Tropical’s New Album - Portland Mercury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From the opening moments of “El Poder,” the title track from Orquestra Pacifico Tropical’s third album, the band establishes a wall of rhythmic positivity. The song, like the band performing it, emerges as a reaction to a society showing its frayed edges evermore, slicing through the political noise with bombastic blasts of psychedelic Northwest cumbia. The Portland-based 11-piece collective is a multicultural force that has been lighting up large stages for over a decade. They’ve been on a form
