NEWSFLASH: I blog at LocalCut

(Read my Panther news entry that was super fun to write on my way back from Decibel Fest on Greyhound)

"Do I have your attention?"

The highschool drop-out strikes again! You can now find me four times a week over at LocalCut.com - keeping it local and still finding a way to weave in all things indie and electro. I'm also writing for LocalCut's parent Willamette Week which is INSANE...ly awesome! Heart that paper!

Two of my LocalCut MP3 posts:
The Chromatics, “In the City,” from In the City 12-inch
The Black Black Black, “The In,” from Self-titled 7-inch

I'm interviewing DJs too - so far I've traded questions and answers with DJ Linoleum and the Gossip's Brace Paine aka The Chain.

And of course some show reviews - from Bonde do Role to Animal Collective (which could very well be about Be Your Own Pet) - oh and the beautiful awkwardness of Improv Logic who I got some good gossip on this Saturday.

I am super super indebted to Casey Jarman for inviting me to join the team!

So yeah - with the lack of updates on NotGL, it may seem as though I don't go out anymore, but I've been going out a storm! I actually have already written entries about the other two days of Bumbershoot and I'd like to put up something about Decibel Fest as I went to the first two days, but didn't bump into Joee Irwin.

I've got some super rad guest podcasts from Bang Gang and Foals sitting in my inbox so expect some more regular postings to follow shortly.

Oh - keep a look out for my feature interview with Simian Mobile Disco on Pitchfork on October 16th. I may be posting polaroids over here to coincide with it's posting. As many know, I am uber in love with James Ford. I'll recount the story next week as to why.

Oh Dear!! Isn't that little indie rapper boy such a cutie!! Him and I have the same name so when were at parties and someone is talking about how he hooked up with a girl a look of confusion just fills my face...

I thought I chatted with you about him the other night at the Green House for Arya's b-day bash right??
