New Music: Shout Out Out Out Out – Reintegration Time

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Last Sunday, completely by happenstance, I caught wind of a Shout Out Out Out Out show happening, and my ears perked. I had seen no previous advertisement for such a show but I looked into it and sure enough, the rumors were true. This was a band I used to spin on college radio with [...]

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

This is a show flyer I just wrapped up. The line-up is incredible, I fully intend on being here for this one.

New Music: Inside Voices

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

This picture below is out-dated; that gnarly beard has since been harnessed into an authoritative mustache (pictured above). Inside Voices is from Portland. These are folks who manage to create one of the small glimmers of ingenuity out there that remind us that there are still rustic musical paths to traverse in an otherwise well-beaten [...]

Underwater Volcano Erupts of Tonga Coast

Friday, March 20th, 2009

So this was the most incredibly awesome, under-covered news yesterday. This underwater volcano erupted off the coast of Tonga in the south Pacific and was so immensely cool that the world couldn’t handle it and forgot to report on it. Meanwhile, the Earth created new islands for us. Thanks Earth.

The compilation consists of 2 discs: Neighbors (Portland-based acts) and Pen-Pals (national and international acts). [...]

New Music: Grizzly Bear – Veckatimest

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

We all had high expectations for this record, right? Well let me be one of the first to put your minds at ease, it’s glorious.
Grizzly Bear’s last record, Yellow House, was production perfection. The recording was done in some sort of church-like building to evoke the full feeling of a religious experience when listening. They [...]

New Music: Dan Deacon – Bromst

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

Dan Deacon might be insane, might be a genius, or might just have a TON of time on his hands, but either way, he rules. His new record, Bromst, is chaos. It’ll give you an epiphany, acid trip, and a seizure all at the same time, yet for some reason I can’t stop listening to [...]
