Unhappy

Congratulations Portland! We finally won the honor of Unhappiest City in The US. Thanks to all the cloudy days, high suicide rates and shite economy we win! Now maybe all those developers and business folks will think twice before adding another ‘Pearl’ to Portland. Leave us be, leave us to our rain and grief, our coffee and cigarettes, our dark arts. Oh wait, is that it? Did we get even sadder now that we have to smoke outside in the rain? Is that what finally got us crowned as The Saddest? Sadder than New Orleans, St. Louis and Detroit? Well so be it.

They Don’t Make ‘Em Like The Used To: Chet Baker

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on 23 Feb 2009. Posted in Courtney, They Don't Make Em Like They Used To.

Ladies and boys hold onto your panties I’m on a Chet Baker thing.

I’ve got a record called The Best of Chet Baker Plays. Well I believe it. One of the best records I own. It’s all hits pretty much. What a guy.

He lived in Portland for a while. Guess he liked to shoot dope and be left alone. Played gigs with the local cats out on NE Vancouver. He left his saxaphone with the only white jazz cat, Billy Hood. Oh, actually I guess it was the pawn shop ticket for the sax. Not the sax itself. Apparently his daughter or grandkid still has it.

(If anyone can verify that story, would be nice to know. Thanks.)

Portland has a great dark history. We had the book Portland Confidential while we recorded Oddy or Warlords. It’s all about the creepy old place.
