As promised, and only one week late (video begets problems), LocalCut TV is proud to present our short documentary/red carpet interview series/wrap-up show/charade featuring roaming LocalCut/WW reporter Jay Horton and a bevy of celebrity guests. Without further ado, we present LocalCut’s coverage of the controversial and unique Portland Music Awards:

Notes to selves for next year:
1. Find a video camera with a microphone input instead of using prop mic plugged into Jay’s pants.
2. Speak slowly and clearly.
3. Clear Art Alexakis interview with “his people” prior to event.
