Crystal Antlers

This may feel like a takeawayshow but dont be fooled, Its just one big Levis ad.
Either way, Crystal Antlers shows that they can be pretty too, with an acoustic Bob Dylan cover.

Pendleton meets Opening Ceremony


After seeing two different girls (one in new york and one in boston) sporting a vivid overcoat seemingly made from a native american blanket, the google search began.
What i found was an entire line comprised of Incan-inspied woven patterns in a collaboration by Portlands weaving specialist's Pendleton and New York's specialty boutique Opening Ceremony
And if you're a dude, the line includes a bomber jacket fit to fight this winter's brisk whether youre on the east coast or west coast... and southwest. Ive already started my piggy bank.

You can check out the full line here.

Luck-One and Dekk



Portland does it again.
Maybe I'm on the wrong side of the country right now.
The best new hip hop album ive heard in a very long time. This album dropped in march and has been on loop since. This is the only record I've heard this year that truly inspires me, not just musically, but in the way i choose to live my life. Ive always said that there are some comcepts that only hip hop can touch on. This album does it.

"The New Dynamic Sound of Evan Voytas" ep



Evan Voytas first caught my attention back in January with his releases on RCRDLBL.COM. The singles I live this life here for you, and What would i do that for dominated my computer speakers for weeks, with their sunshine pop rhythms created by pounding guitars with heavy reverb, and soaring candy coated synths. I swore it was love at first sight, but soon it turned out to be just a bottled crush, puppy love, if you will. With releases from The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Phoenix, and the countless Bradford Cox mp3's, I soon found us growing apart and the proof was in my Last fm play counter. - Anyways I was a goddamn fool, and He still fucking rocks. Today he released a new EP entitled "The New Dynamic Sound of Evan Voytas." The Sound is a bit New for Voytas, (M83 meets Passion Pit meets Cocteau Twins meets The Secret Machines???) but what hasn't changed is his ability to create unbelievable pop hits. His recent single off his new record, Getting Higher is a perfect example of his diversity in instrumentation. Be it loud guitars or broken electronics, the consistency of his catchy-rainbow-lovin'-funk has yet to disappoint. Check this guy out, and be seduced by the flirty groves of a pop mastermind.

"Free Friday"

I cant begin to describe my excitement when i remembered i had a completely punched Which Wich Loyalty Card.
So today I had a free chicken salad sandwhich.

Its kinda stupid how much better a really good thing can be when its free.



anyways,
Here is another really good thing you can get for free:



Experimental Dentist School's new album Forest Field.
I once read that everything out of Portland sounds/feels/smells/tastes like damp dirt.
In a very good way, i keep finding this to be true.
In the case of Experimental Dentist School, its like a walking bare foot through a flower bed after a cool shower of melted electricity.....

Its becoming one of my favorite records this year and more importantly its free.
Just go download it.




(FYI: This blog was more so about the chicken salad.)
