Love on and in the sea.

Yeti is the best.
Seriously.
Amazing writing, interviews, ideas, art & music.
Just picked up issue #7 from Other Music the other day.
This track by Moon Duo comes from the CD included with the zine.
Big ups, Mike McGonigal.
I miss you and Portland.
Keep on keeping music alive and thriving.

Getting Lost, Getting Found in Other Music.

Got a really great batch of music today.
Especially super excited that I got to pick up the most recent Mississippi Records releases,
as it's tough now that I don't live in Portland any longer.
I always pick of multiple copies to give to friends.
 
Really digging this album too:

Support local music.
Support great music.
Support independent music.
Make new friends.
Support old friends.

Wind, snow.

A photo from my current office in NYC.

 

So funny to be working out of a mid-town/Madison Ave. (i.e. Mad Men) space.
The fluorescent lights hurt my eyes, so I turn them off and embrace the darkness, which reminds me of Portland.
Speaking of which, I finally picked up the Grouper album today at Other Music on my lunch break.
It is so beautiful that I don't know what to say.
I just keep listening to it on repeat.
This particular song reminds me of listening to Galaxie 500's This Is Our Music during winter 
of my freshman year of college at University of Whitewater in Wisconsin.

I would turn off all the lights in my dorm room and leave just the Xmas lights on.
It was freezing outside and snow would be piling up and the heater would make knocking sounds and steam up the windows.
