Happy Halloween from the 80's
Great flick. Being re-made soon, which could really suck. And yes, Wolfman does have nards. We all know that by now.
The Drunken Rabbit Rock
I'm not going to lie. Frightened Rabbit was wasted last night. Not nervous, not upset, just plain old Scottish wasted. These 4 guys from Scotland came back to Portland(which they continued to rave about pre/post show) and spent a fun-filled day at Sassy's before the show. They made it to Holocene on time with about 150 eager souls ready for something big. By showtime, they were ready to rock and did not disappoint. An acoustic version of "Poke" and fun-filled version of "Twist" were the ones that stuck out most in my mind. Hopefully they will return soon, especially due to the fact that today a cold, drunken swim at the Oregon Coast was on top of their list. And yes, those are drunken giraffes dancing around in the pic and video.
Poke at my irisWhy can't I cry about this?Maybe there is somethingthat you know that I don't?We adopt a brand new languagecommunicate through pursed lips,You try not to put onany sexy clothes or graces.I might never catch a mouseand present in my mouthand make you feel you're with someonewho deserves to be with you.But there's one thing we've got goingand it's the only thing worth knowing.It's got lots to do with magnetsand the pull of the moon.Why won't our love keel overas it chokes on a bone?We can mourn its passingand then bury it in snow.Or should we kick its cunt inand watch as it dies from bleeding.If you don't want to be with mejust say and I will go.

Early Halloween w/ Frightened Rabbit
Frightened Rabbit will be playing tonight @ Holocene in Portland. I will be attending mainly because I have heard these guys put on a very unique and rocking show. Here are two versions of "Backwards Walk" that I enjoy, and if the show rocks, I'll post some more rockin' stuff.

Sandals and Socks
Ok, the Blazers lost last night and Oden got hurt. Disappointing, but neither was suprising. We'll work out the kinks soon.
In order to get back in the swing of things, here's some old school Lonely Island. You may know them from all the SNL Digital Shorts, but here's some early stuff from way back in the day.

Another Random Friday
Which shall include a perfect Friday song. A stellar version of "Beds Are Burning" by the D-Sailors. Enjoy the fun.
Spring Awakening in the Fall
Had the chance to see Spring Awakening last night @ the Keller Auditorium and was pleasantly surprised. The play itself was good, but the music (done by Duncan Shiek) was very well done. Safe to say I was throughly impressed and would recommend to others. Here's a song from the show...

The morning after...
A great performance once again. These guys just continue to get better and better each year they come. Someone must have told them to start acting a little more "charismatic" on stage this time around because they were actually moving up there!The Schnitz was packed with an eclectic crowd, which seems to be the norm at their shows now days. They can appeal to anyone, and I'm sure no one there last night came away disappointed. My video below isn't the best but should give you a good idea of what went down.

Tomorrow night, the Kings of Leon finally make it back to Portland. Hands down, these guys put on one of the best sounding live shows I have seen. I will be there front and center to witness it once again and hope to see a few of you there also. The Schnitz. 7pm. And here's some live stuff in the meantime...

Some Funky Friday Beck Awesomeness
If you ever have the chance to see Beck live, I highly recommend you jump at that chance. He puts an energy and stamp on a live show that is not to be missed. Here's a little bit of a twist on Loser courtesy of IAFYAF.
Beck - Loser (London Union Chapel 4-28-03)

An afternoon gem
Conor Oberst will be at the Crystall Ballroom w/ Jenny Lewis next Sat, Oct. 25th. I'll post some Jenny as it gets closer.
Ryan Adams Sneak Peek
The new Ryan Adams album, Cardinology, is set to drop later this month. Thanks to everydaydude for sending this one over. Here's a quick preview of the album, and it does not disappoint.
One More Timbaland Post
I am only posting this because I just listened to it over and over and over and over. I'm the not biggest fan of T-Pain or Timbaland, but for some reason this works.

Voting is Cool
Don't want to get political, but I thought it was worth pointing out that Oregon set an all-time record for voter registration yesterday with over 2.14 million! That has to do with Presidents I think, so here are some Presidents.

Dancing in the Halls of Crashers
For those who remember Dance Hall Crashers, the late 90's treated them well. Beyond LA seems to agree with me. Check out a few here.
