Chicharones - Por Que? (Pork Eh?) by Camobear Records The Chicharones have wrapped up recording their upcoming album "Swine Flew" and to celebrate the fruits of their labors they decided to create and release the brand new absolutely free mixtape "Por Que (Pork, Eh?)". This time around Josh & Sleep were on tour with nothing but stolen mixtapes and work out jams to write to. A mash-up of classic and mainstream instrumentals, all re-imagined and re-written with the original Chicharones flavor.

While on the European leg of his tour, Pigeon John shot the above video for his single, "So Gangsta". Pigeon John will be hitting the road in May with Chicharones , so be sure to check him out if he's coming to a town near you! Tour dates after the jump!
There aren't many surprises at the midpoint of most Blazers games: Spinning plate Asian lady on a unicycle, greased muscular guys contorting each other, and maybe-if you are lucky- Quick Change . But those in attendance at the Rose Garden on March 17 are in for a treat: The Chicharones . The hiphop dream team of Sleep and Josh Martinez will be playing on the hardwood while the Blazers and Cavs hit the locker room, it's sort of like the real life version of their "Little By Little" song being included on NBA2K10 . If catching [...]
Was looking for a good video of "The Opposite of Fair" and came across this. Enjoy.
Why can't Sunday be a day of merriment? Seriously. Why can't we go into work, a bit achy but armed with anecdotes for the chipper people who decided to watch a movie? It was with this frame of logic as my guide that I decided to rechristen Sunday. And while the good boys and girls were at home, keeping their bodies safe from the night, I was at the Crystal Ballroom in the middle of a hot, sweaty dance party. But first, a history lesson. Pretty Lights came into my life through [...]
This post right here is what we call in the biz a "twofer", as it kills two blogging birds with one stone (and yeah, I made that up, because that is likely the first time I've actually written the word "twofer"). It's main purpose is to remind folks that Josh Martinez is playing tonight at the Paragon Theatre , and ole Josh deserves a warm reception from his hometown, so if you're able to get out and see him, I recommend it. The other purpose this post serves is to allow me to talk about [...]
Welcome to Swine Country. No, I'm not talking about nowadays North America.... I'm talking about The Chicharones EP that was released at the end of February on Camobear Records . I don't know if it was a case of foreseeing the future or just pure coincidence that brought this name to life, but it just seems perfect timing. I've been listening to this album for the last two months, but now with almost every news story based around the possible pandemic of swine flu I figured I had to give this album a review. This [...]
When first introduced to the music of Josh Martinez about six years ago, I was instantly hooked – a lyrical delivery that I can best describe as rap, which is almost sung, to a cadence of perfect precision. 'A Rap Song' was one of my first glimpses into what the maritime scene had to produce (other than Buck 65) and from that point I was on the hunt for more. Shortly after, I bought 'Buck Up Princess' and was turned on to a whole new sound; another expansion of my outlook on hip hop. After ten years in the game [...]
I am one of very few that thinks U2 really isn't that great, other than The Joshua Tree and a few other random songs. The fact that Rolling Stone gave the new release five stars pretty much guarantees I won't like it. But Neko Case ... ohhh Neko Case. If only you were ten years younger. Anyway, you already know I like her new album , so there's that. Wild Light 's debut is catchy, but I bet the feeling won't last long. We shall [...]
Josh Martinez is someone I should have spoken on a while ago. Unlike a good majority of artists I learn about through blogs and word of mouth, this Portland-based musician was someone I had never heard mentioned. Ever. So, when I found him listed among the top Hip-Hop acts on the underrated M3Radio station, I was baffled upon further investigation. Aside from having a unique and diversified soundscape completely his own, a melodic combination of humor, sincerity and killer wit, his accolades make you ask, "Who the fuck is this guy, and why I haven't [...]
