I started out clicking strategically… and by the end was just wildly clicking and dancing in my chair.
CLICK THE SQUARES.
THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS.
THIS THIS THIS THIS!
Wow…

one of these posters inspired by the Black Keys’ album Brothers
Even the “self initiated poster design project” this album inspired is great.

Black Keys - Tighten Up
The Avett Brothers, “Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise”
I may have contradicted myself. My problem isn’t actually with Lady Gaga. But there’s not much in her music to distinguish it from other glossy, formulaic pop. She just happens to wear slightly weirder outfits than Britney Spears. But they’re not that weird — they’re mostly just skimpy. She’s fully marketing her body/sexuality; she’s just doing it while wearing, like, a ‘fierce’ telephone hair-hat. Her sexuality has no scuzziness, no frank raunchiness, in the way that, say, Peaches, or even Grace Jones, have — she’s Arty Spice! And, meanwhile, she seems to take herself so oddly seriously, the way she talks about her music in the third person, like she’s Brecht or something. She just makes me miss Cyndi Lauper.

Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside - Danger (her Myspace)
In House (local radio program on OPB/NPR) is a great introductory point to the world of local indie and rock scenes. And, oh boy, do I like discovering new music. I wasn’t able to find anything even remotely resembling a meaningful biography of hers except for the fact that she is based in Portland, but it’s not the main thing that brought you here, right? So prepare to enhale a fresh doze of cheerful summer sounds.
They opened for the Avett Brothers. Horrible mix, but i’m really enjoying their EP.
