Not much to say today except for that Dykeritz is pretty rad. Tonic : Dykeritz - Twilight Of The Watermelon (don lowed) Going on a trip to the powders, I'll post if I have a connection. Fuzzy is at Los Alamos Labs, breaking down boxes or something.
Dykeritz makes weirdly entertaining chamber rock that sprawls and beeps and bubbles along in a surprisingly catchy fashion. From the 2008 release Rearrangerologyistics. Dykeritz - Braceletless Wrist Here's some delectable electropop by Hearts Of Palm UK that's been slowly growing...

Crowd at Matt & Kim during MusicFestNW. Pic ©Justin Kent A common complaint I hear often from local musicians is that local FM radio stations do not dedicate enough time to their music. Well, in response I have at least a small antidote - my twice-weekly slot on the New Music Hour on Portland's 94.7FM where [...]
Starfucker played to a packed house last night to celebrate the release of their debut album and also their 'most added to CMJ charts' success. They played an amazing show and Dykeritz who opened for them were just as good too. I'll be posting a video with live performance and interview with Starfucker later today. Starfucker [...]

The first of Saturday's free shows at the Wonder Ballroom was from Ratatat. Photo taken by Flickr user Kyle kjten22, he's also got some other great MFNW shots. MP3: Ratatat - Mirando MP3: Ratatat - Shiller MP3: Ratatat - Seventeen Years After 90 minutes of a packed house dancing to the some amazingly danceable music, the Wonder was really, really hot. So hot, that Les Savy Fav lead singer Tim Harrington removed his tye-dyed shirt just one song into their set, revealing a chest so white that my camera's flash ceased to function [...]
Dykeritz In an effort to blend what I post here in the way of promotional MP3s and what Portland's 94.7FM plays on air, I am joining 94.7 DJ, Squid, two nights a week on the New Music Hour to play the latest offerings from artists and labels. Rather like newspapers FM radio is not going away. [...]

My good friend Jon Ragel of Boy Eats Drum Machine invited me to "join" his band for a show at Portland's Wonder Ballroom on Saturday August 16th. The premise being that it is a Talking Heads and Cure cover show! Ha! But put Jon and Dave in a room and you're not going to get [...]

Rearrangerologyistics is the anomalous musical pop of Jordan Blum, an ecstatic revelation, an exalting singular upbeat and revealing half hour of music, where instruments weave in and out of falsetto vocals acting as golden anchors. All tolled, the album is the most complete work to date for Dykeritz, the latest in a line of 14 [...]

Now that summer has finally started, with our first weekend of extended warm weather, we can get down to discussing an important issue: Finding that elusive but oh-so-necessary "song of the summer." Now, I know it's hard to peg one single track as the thing to define the entire season, but every year something emerges that transcends the muck of 9-5 routines—something that you can hear, anywhere, and ignore the piles of work stacking up on your desk to instead imagine sitting with your friends drinking 40s out of paper bags in Wallace park. As the solstice approaches, it's hard [...]
