Ask a musician why they relocated to Portland and, from Britt Daniel on down, the most common response is: "We came through on tour and I thought it was awesome."

I probably don’t have to tell you too much about the broad strokes since music magazines, blog scribes and even that dying behemoth MTV have gushed out loud about what’s going on here. But, what they tend to leave out are the details, the inner-workings and the tinder that keeps the fire burning."

Anytime you make a documentary on the Portland music scene, a few common topics are brought up. Portland is cheap. Portland has lots of basements. Portland is creative. And, of course, the biggie: it rains ALL THE TIME. But there are a lot of stories that haven’t been told, and I think that’s what Wieden+Kennedy is aiming for in Don’t Move Here, a new multi-part documentary on the PDX music community that is slowly trickling onto the web."
