Portland has some fucking crazy-ass bands. I think its because it rains all the time and people are inside and have all this pent up energy, so they just get manic and bang the hell out of stuff and scream. This link is for a flash video made by e*rock (the guy behind local label Audio Dregs) for one of my favorite of these crazy bands, Point Line Plane. It’s just two guys, one on distorted synths, screaming, and one on drums. And the drummer is awesome! Not sure if it translates to recorded music, but it is totally exciting to see live. And the video is cool.

So now you know what’s up round here.

Can you believe it? This is dorky and hot, and not an oxymoron! Fantastic!

In other news, today I sent my track “I Was a Lesbian Sperm Bank” to Ted aka Roshi from XOX Magazine. He and some friends are putting together a little compilation of local Portland area electronic musicians, and they have requested my track for inclusion! It will be in all the best local shops (eg Ozone, Jackpot, Q is for Choir) and they are are pressing around 300 of them! More news as it develops. MTV here I come!

And in really lame news, I do indeed realize that there are numerous broken things littering this fine website right now, including the non-functional pictures section and myriad broken links. Rest assured, all will be made clean once I have more time, which will happen right around May 11th, when I graduate from college.

Back in Portland now, the throat is mending nicely. Last night I slaved away on some fylers and ads for a concert that the radio station is putting on. I’m really happy with how they turned out. The ad will be run in the Portland Mercury for the next two weeks. I am also try to tun it in the Willamette Week. The other designs (numbered 1, 2, and 3,) will be put up on telephone poles and countertops all over town. The concert should be really great, as the bands are awesome and the people putting it on are great (including myself, of course).
