I like to write. It’s something that I enjoy and provides a much needed break from the bullshit of a regular day. Last night I wanted to go to see Devotchka play with Norfolk & Western at John Henry’s tavern. I thought the small venue would provide an intimate setting that would be perfect for [...]

I have loved Benny Benassi for quite some time. An underage appreciation of glossy epic electro influenced me into getting a custom hat embroidered with the name in loopy cursive and last year I managed to see him twice. Before the Burger King commercial or the six thousand mashups he was my favorite.

Techno remixed rap music is huge and growing. The (hopefully) respected MC infused with sparse bleeps and a grinding bass line, dance floor potential and the welcome addition of humor in an often overly serious world..
Of course usually we do not have two such large players colliding.

Anyone who caught The Death Set’s well… set last week or hell, has ever heard them, knows they like things short and sweet. It’s no surprise that the food they eat requires simple steps, with big flavors. Hey! Just like their music.

No kids opened up a set in Portland at the end of their tour with Dirty Projectors on April 16th. I caught up with Nick for an embarrassing hug and a Q+A, and although things didn’t go that smoothly it all worked out, and all my questions have been answered.

I am certainly not the first to write about this but I can’t resist jumping on the juicy bandwagon. For every serious track we post or band interview my role is to provide balance, to post meaningless photos and gawker-esque gossip.

One of my best friends is quoted often saying that you are either “completely straight [...]

It really wasn’t a waste at all. I saw 6 sets in one night and I intend to talk about it very soon.

Arthur & Yu took the stage after a bit of a delay playing a number of tracks off their self-titled Hardly Art debut. Though this kind of show isn’t common for Eugene, a group or two of people felt it wasn’t significant enough to shut up for. They powered through their set regardless, undoubtedly picking [...]
