PDX POP NOW and Made in Iceland 2: Two Incredible New Compilations

The 2009 2 CD Set Sampler of Portland Oregon's PDX POP NOW is amazing, as I just featured it on The New Spin. Actually, I haven't heard any of the 2nd disc, but who cares. I'm sure it's great, too. So many great bands. Go to their website to learn more, and sample the album here. $8 bucks for a 2 disc set, is a steal. Incredible music is coming out of, and always has come out of, Portland. Portland is to new music as Seattle was to grunge.

Another incredible compilation out right now is Made in Iceland 2. Great stuff that gets spin on all three of my shows. Their website has tons of info about the bands on the compilation.

And don't forget Merge's SCORE! of course.
