Poor boy is stuck in Texas. (Does Austin count as Texas?) Anyway...  He won't tell me how he got there.  Sounds fun (1996 sort of fun).

What I Am Listening To Now: "City Sleep" by Talkdemonic

I have been wanting to post this all day.  Finally, I decided to just drop everything and get it up here...

I forgot this was a local band when I first watched this video, so I was surprised to see that it was filmed down the freeway a bit in NE Oregon near the Columbia River Gorge.  Still, it reminds me of the power lines a little outside of Hartline, Washington (on Highway 2 between Hartline and Coulee City).

It is definitely NE Oregon, though, considering those great sunset shots with Mt. Hood silhouetted in the background. While not knowing specifically where this is, I am madly in love with that whole region.

An ancient artifact washed ashore, remnants of lost times...

From 2011-11 (Nov)

Found this in my desk the other day. It is from about ten years ago, at least, since I have not been since I moved to Portland ten years ago... Wonder if it would still work?

I don't think I actually got a card until close to the end of my time in Seattle. Always used to be a bit too late into my evenings, so to speak, when I landed there (and in the previous, nameless locations...) and I could never quite sort out the membership process. Usually just wandered in with everyone I was with since everyone I knew, pretty much, were "legit" members.

But there were some good times... And even more interesting times. The few memories out of many that linger and remain.

What I Am Listening To Now: "I'm God" by Clams Casino

Spotted by Marco Collins on Facebook.  His comments:

Just got turned on to this band. I know nothing about them other than this song is awesome. It's kinda like the Cocteau Twins meets Star Slinger. McLovin it. Thx Joseph.

Apparently this guy is a hip hop producer and this track was supposed to be a Lil B track... He added a Imogen Heap sample and BAM!
