What I Am Listening To Now: "Got No Chains" by The Walkabouts

Coming up on the 100th Post for this blog...  Think I'll roll it across with a Sub Pop 200 review. (Post #91)

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.

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!
