#Portlandia song episode attention attention series
So when I first heard about the new IFC series Portlandia based on my birthplace, I thought, “it was only a matter of time.” And statistically, we’re some classy folk, with the most per capita of microbreweries, strip clubs, and… er, urban chickens. We are dedicated fans, eager to cheer our hearts out for anyone from the Blazers to the Rose City Rollers to the latest reality show contestants. They’re immortalized as Portlanders even if their residency was short-lived. We’ve got our (limited) share of heroes: Gus Van Sant, Chuck Palahniuk and Elliott Smith, to name a few. Turns out Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein and IFC can still show me a thing or two about my City of Roses.įor one reason or another, my hometown has been propelled to the center of pop-culture attention. And the hipster epidemic shows no signs of slowing. Sure, we may take ourselves a little too seriously at times. Really, not too shabby for a town in a state people still pronounce as OH-REE-GONE.

Our music scene has perfected the delicate oxymoron of being a well-known underground. Our environmental practices and policies are nationally lauded. The city is, at the very least, a part of a lot of people’s periphery. Living in Portland seems to grant me a level of street-cred I’ve been able to ride for the majority of my adult life.
