Music Millennium ..is A Place Where the Music and People Still Matter... Support your local Music Store! Posted at 8:29 PM Dec 19, 2008 view more
It was The Ides of March, March 15th of 1969, when Don MacLeod, his wife Loreen and brother in law Dan Lissy first opened an 800 square foot record store on the corner of 32nd & East Burnside. Specializing in mostly underground music not found in the department stores, drugstores or the couple of record stores which existed at the time, Music Millennium filled a niche for the Portland music community.
Titles by Fairport Convention, Frank Zappa, John Fahey, The Fugs and Holy Model Rounders were stocked in the small store along with the sounds heard on the then three month old FM station, KINK- The Underground Link.
The Store quickly grew in the first five years to its current size, including the addition of a classical store called The Musical Offering, now known as Classical Millennium. A second Music Millennium store was also added next to the now defunct Purple Earth Tavern at NW 21st & Irving, and is now located at 23rd & Johnson.
It's 30 years later and Music Millennium is the oldest record store in existence in the Pacific Northwest. Throughout our history, we've stocked the ever-evolving gamut of formats including LP's, 45's, reel-to-reel, 8-track, cassette, DAT, compact disc, mini-disc, DCC and CD-ROM.
As people who know and love music, Music Millennium has hosted an array of in-store performances and autograph appearances over the years, including the likes of Richard Thompson, Luscious Jackson, Loreena McKennitt, Maureen McCormick (aka "Marcia Brady"), Blue Rodeo, Shonen Knife, Matthew Sweet, Soundgarden, Mike Watt, Don Walser, Sheryl Crow, Randy Newman, Everclear, Jewel, Little Feat, Susannah Hoffs and Cheap Trick to name a few.
Be sure to check out our current calender of events! You can visit Portland's homegrown music store at 3158 E. Burnside at 32nd and Classical Millennium - 3144 E. Burnside. See you there!
“…Obscured By Clouds unquestionably have immense potential. …Heavy psychedelic twists…The band manage to create pieces that veer from the more extreme, doom-laden riffs to the occasional lilting ballad, and surprisingly it’s a blend that works well.”
- Classic Rock Magazine Presents Prog! AUG 2009!
Sounds like “…Type O Negative and Mastodon…the results are exceptional and impressive.” Classic Rock Magazine
“Trippy textures and trances melt into ominous psychotronic sensations..." Creem Magazine
“They resemble a more inspired Soundgarden… It’s an aural entente between UK/US psych templates…” Shindig!
Obscured By Clouds “Portland, Oregon based art rock band…William Weikart is the brain trust and founder of the ensemble…Playing guitars, Fender Rhodes, synthesizers, and oscillators, Weikart formed a new personalized approach to Pink Floyd's music without covering their material, but instead attempting to expand on it from his own perspective.” All Music Guide
“Obscured By Clouds…employs a hefty dose of Pink Floyd influence as a launching pad…into space/psych/prog realms, which also summons hints of Nick Drake, Bowie on barbiturates, and Hawkwind. The sonorous, echo-laden “Faiths’ Soul” even brings Jimi Hendrix to mind at his most heavily psych-ic. All is delivered with melodic panache…. …Psycheclectic emphasizes strong song structures, so despite the mind-bending space/psych flourishes in arrangement and production, accessibility isn’t an issue.” Progression Magazine
What are you up to Saturday September 12th? Come hang with us on the remainder of our summer tour at Berbati’s Pan!
