The epic and amazing Black [...]

The first time I saw Kelli Schaefer play it was at The Know on NE Alberta. It’s rare to see a crowd of people stop talking and just listen to someone they’re not familiar with play music, especially in a town like Portland where it seems like everyone is in a band.  But that night [...]

New remixes by Trash Yourself sent to me a few minutes ago. Thanks to being sent direct mp3’s, I can give everyone direct downloads- take note artists who send me emails every day hoping to be featured.
