I trashed myself


I apologize for the lack of blogging in the last seven days on my end. I have been severely stricken with the super flu that has been going around and my daily routine has been reduced to trying to keep food down and making sure I am watching The Soprano’s in the right order. Here [...]

Ariel Pink//Cryptacize @ Holocene 3/19/09


My powers of persuasion must be lacking.  The only person I knew at this show was that whom I brought with me!   Either I’ve been out of Portland too long, or this city seriously never stops growing.  Regardless of me being a loser, this show was relatively packed.  Seriously? I listened to Ariel Pink [...]

Past Lives @ East End 3/14/09


Past Lives play Portland more often than even some local bands, and each time I’m right there watching.  If you haven’t noticed, Past Lives are my very favorite band to rise from the ashes of the Blood Brothers and projects past.  Everytime they play, they put on a show which embodies the best elements of [...]

Here’s a new mashup I’ve been working on for the past couple of weeks.  I was very much inspired by The Hood Internet, but I found it impossible to DJ with the version found [...]

Heads Up: Cryptacize


Athsmatic Kitty is releasing some amazing stuff this year.  First they drop DM Stith’s excellent new record Heavy Ghost, and now they’re prepping possibly their greatest new one of the year with Cryptacize’s Mythomania. You may remember me mentioning their involvement in Nick Krgovich’s Prison Musical only the other day.  If you Weren’t already won [...]

Parenthetical Girls// No Kids @ Backspace 3/13/09


Parenthetical Girls were in rare form last Friday when they performed at Backspace with personal favs No Kids. Zac Pennington always does his best to embody the actions you wish you could take everytime you hear a Parenthetical Girls song. Poeticism like that on Entanglements becomes theatrical when put to music, and Parenthetical Girls bring [...]

Phosphorescent//Nurses @ Holocene 3/11/09


Four full lengths and an EP into Phosphorescent’s carreer and finally we cover him on FuckBadMusic.com.  For those of you who missed him with Bon Iver (I know, me too), I sincerely hope you were present for his performance at Holocene last Wednesday. Although one might not normally charcaterize his music as being a sonic [...]

The funniest shit I’ve seen all month


Somehow I’ve totally missed out knowing about this trio of SNL comedians who go by the name of the The Lonely Island and will be releasing their new album Incredibad, which is now in stores and online for sale.   TimesOnline wrote a great article about the Lonely Island.
Thank god DJ Kue remixed their track “I’m [...]
