Musichead in Medford has been a hub for rock, metal, and punk bands to play for more than a decade. I have posted hundreds of photos from shows at Musichead over the years. I have hundreds more that I need to post when I get the chance. The store is still open. You can still go to Musichead to buy CDs, shirts, etc. However, there will be no more shows there after last night as the building owner is renting the concert space to another business. Hopefully bands that would play Musichead will play at Club 66 in the future.
I have so many fond memories. Some highlights include Giant Squid, Wehrmacht, Michael Graves, Ceremonial Castings, and Stoneburner. Even Mastodon played at Musichead back in 2004. I will miss my Musichead evenings.
BTW, although this was Sanctifyre’s first show at Musichead, members of Dark Confidant and Toxic Witch (photos coming someday) who have previously played at Musichead make up Sanctifyre.
We are currently in Seaside, Oregon for the 34th Annual Seaside Beach Volleyball Tournament. Today’s photo comes from our drive to Seaside. We decided to take Highway 38 (between Roseburg and Reedsport) because we never had before. Along the way we saw a couple fields on the left side of the highway (the right side was the Umpqua River) with elk.

Today’s photo features our trip leader, Dustin of Northwest Rafting Co., taking a duckie (AKA single-person raft) down the river’s most difficult rapid. On average, more than one person a year dies in these rapids. We all made it through without even capsizing. However, only the guides rode the single-person rafts down. The private group after us wasn’t so lucky. They were all OK though.
Once upon a time, Blossom Bar was impassable. Glen Wooldridge made Blossom Bar passable in the 20th Century by using strategically placed charges of dynamite. He would row up to a rock, drop dynamite onto the other side of the rock, and then quickly row away. He repeated this process until Blossom Bar became configured the way it is today.
