Today marks the beginning of a new semi-daily feature on pdxradio. This being the 1st of the month, there are always lots of changes, so don't count on this many all the time. As you will see, the listings will fluctuate from day to day. Some days there won't be anything to report on. Then the following day there could be a bunch. Some days might not appeal to you but the next day might hold a real gem you'll like. It'll be a surprise for most everyday.
