Ray – I’m About to Whip Somebody’s Ass
I watched Ze Frank’s TED talk this evening after a friend posted this video and I couldn’t believe it. An audio clip of a preacher from St. Louis named Ray went viral and became the subject of a number of remixes. He created the song in order to life his daughter’s spirits. The result is […]
Logan Lynn (@LoganLynn) – I Killed Tomorrow Yesterday
Portland’s finest indie-electronic musician, Logan Lynn, is back with a new record. I Killed Tomorrow Yesterday was produced by Bryan Cecil and is much more darker than his previous release, From Pillar to Post. That, and it sounds as if it were sent here straight from 1985. The synthpop sound suits Lynn’s voice well and […]

Antony and the Johnsons – Swanlights
How to describe Antony and the Johnsons’ new album, Swanlights, and how it makes us feel? Bewildered, initially – that’s how I felt upon first hearing Antony Hegarty on “The Dull Flame of Desire”, a song found on Bjork’s album, Volta. You aren’t sure quite what to expect, but that doesn’t mean the album is […]
Flashback : Neil Young – Transformer Man
Ok, this song recently flashed across my social media radar, and falls squarely into the “How did I not know about this?” bin. Maybe the result of an out-of-control 80s-style bender with Giorgio Moroder, or perhaps a sage-like commentary on the direction of music at that time, here’s Neil Young like you’ve never heard him […]
