i returned to music through machines. the difference is that the machines are clean, and the machines are not corrupted. what i create here cannot hurt people, but you can bring an impure musician to play in your studio and create your own doom. my brain represent the bass, an' if an evil man is playing on my brain, it'll cause me trouble as he's trying to chip away at my brain. and if an evil drummer is playing my beat with an evil thought, i think he can hurt my brain by playing a dreadful drum. but the machine [...]
Kranky ambient tribal dance hustler White Rainbow, Honey Owens of Valet, and the mighty Inca Ore have formed a supergroup of sorts called, shit you not, We Like Cats . Between the name and the bitchin' WordArt ®, you know they're straight goofin', which I can appreciate. I mean, shit, I like cats, you like cats, I guess we like cats. Well, maybe I don't like cats, just my cat. His name is Ike, short for Dwight D. Eisenmeower. Look at this chill motherfucker: He hasn't been feeling well lately. Had [...]
Yeah, I know that the categories widget in the right side-bar says that there have already been 187 or 188 Sunday Mix Tapes, but this is number 185. I'm sure of it. Maybe the others weren't official SMTs, because maybe I didn't post them on a Sunday! Did you ever think about that, asshole? Well, think about it, then. I'm perfectly fine just sitting here and waiting for you to finish thinking. I don't have anywhere to be until tomorrow morning. Then I have to work. Ugh. I hate my life. RULES for uninitiated noobs : [...]
Proper Eats is the forthcoming cat-themed "summertime party record" from Portland's We Like Cats, the new dub reggae project from Honey Owens (of Valet and our new faves Miracles Club), Eva Salens (Inca Ore), and Adam Forkner (White Rainbow). The album was inspired by "space cats," "basketball cats," Sister Nancy, Augustus Pablo, the spaced-out sounds of Lee Scratch Perry + King Tubby, and... click through for more...
lovely new wonky lullabyisms and monged moanery from inca ore (pseudononymously eva saelens), the shaky knot, the twisted scribbling, the musical fault-line running from portland to oakland with the whole freaking freakout world in betwixt. the story goes that silver surfer school began life as little song-sonnets based around her neighbours - preteen sisters, a halfway home for the mentally ill, a clairvoyant witch, a karaoke-ing vietnamese family... and i suppose if one was inclined to, one could describe the whole shebang as one giant sonic poem. y'know in [...]
Rather than just spit out on here what I think the best records of 2009 are, I've asked the bands what tops THEIR lists this year. Over the next few weeks we'll be posting many band picks (just click on the Best of 2009 tag )! First one offering their selection is Charlemagne Lazarus Kinsman of Cool Tide , who chose Inca Ore 's Silver Sea Surfer School . So, why is this is the best record of 2009? Inca Ore - Silver Sea Surfer [...]
Sorry for being bad of late. We're on the way to getting things sorted...For now, here you have another awesome post from Brian, getting ready for Halloween as we do.

Nicci's workplace had their annual Christmas Party at Malo tonight, which meant a couple hours of heavenly eating and drinking. Right now I am full of carnitas, potato and eggplant tacos, beef and pickle tacos and chicken/chorizo quesadillas. I could not be happier. If that restaurant wasn't so expensive (or maybe if I had a better-paying job?) I would eat there every night. Well, not every night - I'd need to eat at Qdoba and Casa Bianca and Patra, too! Hey, how about a mix tape? RULES for uninitiated noobs : With [...]
Sometimes you come across records you like because of your specific musical tastes. Other times it's because you know the people in the band or have seen them play many worthwhile shows. Still other times it's to see what all the hype for a certain band or album is about. And then there are the [...]
Inca Ore Birthday of Bless You (2008, Not Not Fun) File Under = Ghost music After Grouper landed on the Forest Gospel radar a couple of years ago it was only a matter of time before similarly ethereal, Oregon apparition exorcist, Inca Ore, found her way to our ears. Known by family and friends as Eva Saelens, Inca Ore has been kicking up dust with a variety of limited, less limited and collaborative releases (including a split tape with the aforementioned Grouper that is set to be reissued on Vinyl and CD). With Birthday of Bless You [...]
Inca Ore - Sunset Pigments Inca Ore - Wedding Day Until now I didn't see a sunset here for two months. I've since seen two sunrises though one was hidden behind a big black cloud and another was fractured into glowing slices of orange and pink by drunken eyes that broke up the colours into shards of positive vibage. It was an amazing fked up revelation as I shuffled/walked home in the dewey morning air, total wide-eyed appreciation for that swirling hypercoloured soupy sky, the earth, creation, lolz, [...]
Inca Ore - Joy There's a little bit of a buzz around internet chat boards (you know, the ones that have been listening to an album six months before a mention surfaces elsewhere) about Inca Ore (aka Californian Eva Saelens of the group Jackie O-Motherfucker). After a dozen or so self-released CD-Rs, Birthday of Bless You has been released on Not Not Fun and it may just be one of the better 'weird' releases of the year. More an atmosphere than an album, its songs (just piano and vocals) have been cloaked in [...]

Constellations. Plural. • A professor has penned a detailed article on the topics of aliens and time travel, and I guess the fact that he is a currently-employed professor lends some credence to the fact that he's talking about the existence of extra terrestrials and the possibility of time travel . I think it's fascinating that France opened up their UFO sightings vault, and that the government said 58% of the sightings could not be explained. Fat dudes wearing pointy ears and speed suits while living in their parents' basements are probably really excited about [...]
