March Dub (Norway in the spring)

I spent this afternoon in a coffee house with Dmoe, he was remixing a Jamie Lidell song for his weekly gig in Seattle, and I was chopping apart little pieces of dub music. All the while it was buckets and buckets of rain outside. Usually March makes me feel like going south, but this year […]

Watery Grave

I must admit, I have been listening to quite a bit of Bmore tunes lately, courtesy of Jimbo who gave me his entire collection before leaving town. I have also been listening to Typhoon, the Oregon based band pictured above. I first saw them at Mississippi Pizza when they opened the night up with some […]

Red Velvet

It has been almost 3 weeks since the last song, but it hasn’t been because I have forgotten about making songs. In fact the lull has been due to getting a new job, one which pays the bills, and allows me to work in a field which I’m proud of (renewable energy), with people […]

Oh Seven!

It’s the end of 07, and we are sledding into 08. (At least we would be if we had any snow around here). Just think, in two years we are going to be in the “Tens”!  This never ending weekly musical project has been alive for four months now, with 17 songs and over […]

All My Love

A song for ringing in the New Year! A remix of Portland artist Starfucker’s song “German Love”. Starfucker’s Myspace page has a few songs to listen too, and so does his Virb page. If you’d rather the old YouTube, well… here is a video of the team playing at PDX Pop Now.
All My […]

How Many Times

The past four days had me nursing a 103 degree fever, and working out this mix for one of my favorite Portland / Eugene bands, the Fast Computers. Having a fever is supposed to make you a little delirious, which can be a good thing when it comes to music. I’ve known the […]

Vesta Bella

The line art above is by Anna Todoro, who curates the Core gallery here in Portland. Besides the visual arts, Anna also plays the violin, guitar, and sings. Her minimalist solo songs can be heard on her Myspace page, and in her new solo album Innard Blues. We recorded a bunch of material to […]

Hurricane

This weekend Oregon has a hurricane warning in force, with winds expected in excess of 100 mph. Could there be any better sign of the impending global meltdown warming, then the first ever hurricane in the Pacific Northwest? It’s the perfect reason to stay inside all day and tinker around with the old synthesizers. This […]

Caverns

This week’s podcast song is a bit darker and damper than the past few. The sounds are almost dripping with icy water from the tips of the subterranean stalactites. I have to say, this song was so slimy that at first I wasn’t sure if I could bring it up out of the cavern. […]

Islands

See that island way off in the distance? The one with the little plume of smoke rising off the beach. The one where nobody knows what day of the week it is, or what month, because it’s aways 89 degrees. This song is about that island, and the little one next to it where everyone […]
