Terkedilmiş şehirler kadar yalnızdık diyordu şair. İkimizde vıcık vıcık insan kaynayan iki farklı şehirde terketmenin ya da terkedilmenin o tuhaf acısını yaşıyorduk. Kim bilir, farkında olmadan birbirimizi faşist duygularla özlüyorduk. Korkma! vicdan muhasebesi yapmayacağım. Bilirsin oldum olası matematiği sevmedim. Ama şunu bil 12 Eylül'ün darbeci paşaları bile senden daha vicdanlıydı. Şimdiyi soruyorsan; köprünün altından çok sular aktı, köprüden son çıkışı hatalı sollama ile geçtik ve gece çoktan siyaha döndü. Geriye ne mi kaldı? Merak ediyorsan; nüfusta bekar, kalbimde hala bakirim. Pearl Jam - Black [...]

Wow! Cómo vuela el tiempo! No puedo creer que ya vayan a ser casi dos años desde que Blouse presentara este impecable corte de su debut homónimo, e incluso pareciera que " Time Travel " fue una de las canciones que desfiló en el conteo de lo mejor del año pasado; sin embargo este track apareció en el de 2011. Ahora bien, me alegra mucho que Blouse decidiera presentar el vídeo oficial de este corte antes de comenzar a soltar los detalles de su siguiente material, así que pasen aquí abajo a darle un vistazo [...]
Our dearest Brooklyn artist and graphic designer Heather Pieske, who is also the gifted hand with her fellow Jeffrey Kieslich behind “Wear This To That” blog, illustrated for us this pretty preppy and furry personage. And it appears to us as an evidence that this fantastic Mrs fox simply shows how foxy a lady can be wearing a [...]

Phone case maker Incase has hosted several bands in its itty bitty Room 205 Live series, for a series of web performances and videos. When MusicfestNW came around, they wanted to do something different, so they shot bands in front of an audience. Here's their clip of Portland band Blouse performing at Ted's (formerly Berbati's Pan, and which now, according to one of our contacts at the venue, they want us to refer to as simply "Berbati"—to which we say, guh, whatever). At any rate, here's Blouse performing "Videotapes," in a fine looking and great sounding [...]

Based in Portland, Oregon, Blouse is comprised of members Charlie Hilton, Patrick Adams, Jacob Portrait, and Paul Roper. Here we find them swooning elegantly through the standout track, "Videotapes," from the 2011 debut album, BLOUSE , on Captured Tracks. Wildly pitch-shifted and wonderfully out-of-whack, this song is near-perfect in almost every imaginable way. It's from the recent MusicFest NW in Portland. Held at venerable downtown venue Ted's, (formerly Berbati's Pan), the night showcased five favorite past collaborators from Room 205, including Blouse, Crystal Antlers, Craft Spells, Tropic of Cancer and [...]

Frank Yang A little into Beach House's show at the Kool Haus on Saturday night, Victoria Legrand mentioned that this was their twelfth time playing Toronto. And while I was glad she'd saved me the trouble of trying to assemble their 416 gigography, I was surprised that they'd been through so many times in the past six years, since I'm pretty sure the first was in November 2006 when they played to a dozen or so people in the front room of the Tranzac. I hadn't personally caught any of the subsequent ten shows, [...]

- Benim için tek sen varsın Haşmet - Benim için de sen - Ne yapacağız şimdi bundan sonra - Bilmem. Ama yaşıyoruz, iki kişiyiz ve birbirimizi seviyoruz. Korkma, dünyada her zaman inanılacak sağlam şeyler bulunur. Yukarıdaki repligler 1966 yapımı Ah Güzel İstanbul filmine ait. Yönetmenliğini Atıf Yılmaz'ın yaptığı siyah-beyaz bu film, o garip büyüsünü her dönem koruyan, eskimeyen bir yapım. Açılış sahnesinde Sadri Alışık, 'Bendeniz..' diye başlayarak kendisini, yani Haşmet İbriktaroğlu'nu tanıtır. Bir paşa torunu olan [...]
Let this beautiful track kick in, turns from ambient to dream-gaze, making me sad as shit right now. I don't think I want to talk about it now, maybe later. When life pisses on you, some say get an umbrella, for me it's more like buy a boat. http://www.facebook.com/jesser uins Filed under: MP3S , Music Tagged: 2012 , art , Beauty , Blouse , Captured Tracks , dark dream , Dream , dream pop , ethereal , i vacation [...]

Music Fest NW is the perfect way to learn Portland. For five nights, bands from the fest's insane lineup perform in venues spread across town, the city quickly becoming a seamless blend of cabs, lines ... read more

The Impermanent 73 is the debut recording from WL , which features members of Blouse and Houndstooth . Death Party Records (home to Surf Club , Prescription Pills , and Yung Life ; run by Michael Avishay of Ghost Animal ) put out this 73 earlier this Summer. The WL sound has been described as "SHOEGAZE DROWNED IN A SEA FLOWERS." I'd say that's pretty apt. This right here is the B-Side. Listen. Downloadable: No Escape (mp3) [...]
Yesterday, Portland's MusicFestNW wrapped up five days of concerts at over a dozen venues throughout the city. Among the acts who performed were Passion Pit, Beirut, Girl Talk, Dinosaur Jr., Flying Lotus, Swans, Fucked Up, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Wild Nothing, Purity Ring, and DIIV. Autumn Andel was on hand to capture the annual fest in photos for us; check out her gallery above.

WL - Impermanent Haven’t heard shoegaze this deep and rich in a while. This single is being put out by my bud Michael Avishay on his Death Party Records label. The band - pronounced “Well” - is a bit of an indie supergroup in that it’s comprised of singer Misty Mary who plays synths in Blouse, guitarist is Michael Yun who plays in Houndstooth, and the drummer Steven Sparks who “is amazing.” Excusing him for the hyperbole, Michael reports that the Portland, Oregon group is “fucking incredible [...]

The warm souls over at KEXP dropped a previously recorded session with Portland’s Blouse late last week, adding yet another gem to their collection. Blouse’s self-titled LP was released earlier this year via Captured Tracks and, in my eyes, has to be one of the most underrated releases to hit the indie scene over the past 9 months. The performance shown in its entirety below is intriguing in a multitude of ways, mainly being that it does not feature member Jacob Portrait (also of Unknown Mortal Orchestra) and was performed at a time when, according the [...]

To get a glimpse of the weekend, we've compiled a set of photos documenting Block Party below, and for more Block Party coverage (including more photos and write-ups of all three days), click here .

The excellent self-titled debut full-length by Portland trio Blouse definitely counts as one of our favorite 2011 albums discovered in 2012. So we were more than pleased to get a mix from Blouse's Patrick Adams. As he informs us, the band is currently recording new music; they are playing a couple of festivals in the States this Summer, and hope to hit Europe in the Fall. Follow them on Facebook for updates. On to the mix! It guides you through a brief history of dreamy mellow pop songs, from dusty psych pop and rock to eighties' indie classics, plus [...]
