Burnside Links
Enjoy this list of refined, hand-crafted websites, lovingly selected by your Burnside Writer's Collective staff.
- The Daylights
Ricky and Randy Jackson: we'll admit our crush.
- Menomena
Some may mention The Decemberists or The Shins, and that's understandable, but in our view this is the very best band Portland has to offer.
- Alex Dupree and the Trapdoor Band
We kid you not: this is the best band you've never heard of.
- The Onion A.V. Club
After a while, you might go here more than the main site.
- Pitchfork
Where else can you find writing that veers from awful to transcendent and read about the year's best albums?
- Paste
This magazine will soon surpass Rolling Stone as the most widely read music periodical in the world, and the world will be right again.
- Ruanima
A site based in the nation's opposite corner.
- Pastoral Musings from Rain City
Taking on everything from his daily jog to homelessness to postmodern philosophy with elegance and no small touch of genius.
- Out of Ur
Christianity Today's youthful side.
- Moms Are For Everyone!
Not only is Emery a contributor, she also has the most ridiculously adorable son in existence. Let's not let it go to his head.
- Luke's Commonplace Book
Great design, great title, great content.
- Gray Matter
Our very own Susan Isaacs discusses the goings-on in between her ears.
- City Business Church
City Bible is a mega-church in the Portland area. I don't know the church well myself, but Justin over at the blog is a friend of the site.
- Burnside Writer's Blog
Our location for personal revelation
- Brain Child Recess
Stephanie Larson does exquisite drawings
- Boars Head Tavern
The friendly and thoughtful beer-lovers ponder various themes.
- Zoecarnate.com
Michael Morrell is a connector. You name a Christian website, and he's linking to it. Also, Mike is a friend of the site.
- ThinkChristian.net
A very thoughtful blog concerned with what it means to be a Christian in today's society.
- T-Shirt Designs by Drake Aschliman
Drake designed our tandem bicycle shirt, and here are some of his other designs.
- Imago Dei Community
The church some of us call home.
- Donald Miller Fansite
Contributor Bryan Allain runs an outstanding site and is a very good friend of Burnside.
- Christianity Today
The king of Christian publications, and one of the great magazines of all time.
- The Wittenburg Door
The legendary (and only) religious satire magazine.
- The Sneeze
Remember the awful version of "O Holy Night"? We got it from Steve at The Sneeze. For an introduction, start with the Steve! Don't Eat It! section. You will not regret it.
- The Onion
Maybe you've heard of it.
- McSweeney's
Young writers who are breaking rules and changing publishing.
- Married to the Sea
The comic strip is dead. Drew and Natalie Dee are the future.
- Clark and Michael
Somehow, Michael Cera became the greatest comedic genius of our time.
- The Economist
Simply the best news magazine that currently exists. Cancel your subscriptions to "Time", "Newsweek" and "US News & World Report". Sign on with these guys.
- Slate
If we're honest, this is the sort of site we aspire to become. Especially by getting Christopher Hitchens to write for us.
- WhatIfSports
The nerdiest and best sports simulation site around. Try Hardball Dynasty and Hoops Dynasty.
- TrueHoop
Henry Abbott is the best NBA blogger working right now. Additionally, he's a Blazers fan.
- Simmons
Even though he whines about Boston sports a little too often, The Sports Guy is the best around.
- Draft Kevin Durant
While I'm 50-50 at this point on Durant v. Odent, I could read 100 more Blazer blogs every day. Especially when they're this funny.
- Deadspin
We used to go to ESPN. Now we go to Deadspin, which may not be as statistically informative, but wins out with sheer entertainment. Will Leitch is the man.
- Casey Holdahl's Blazer Blog
Our source for all things Trail Blazer related. When Casey took over for the great Eric Martenette, we were afraid. But Casey stepped up to the plate, much like Jon Stewart did with "The Daily Show".
