Side note:

I’ve been work­ing on a Kamele Demo with a few remixes and a cou­ple orig­i­nal tracks on it.

I also have a weekly rock DJ gig at Dirty in PDX. The weekly is called Con­flict.
Just about too busy to blog ran­dom­ness. Keep posted though.

Cap­tain EO bitches!

After see­ing Cap­tain EO for the first time and then find­ing enlight­en­ment on Space Moun­tain. Kamele now goes by Cap­tain Kamele and has made a new mix tape full of beats and nos­tal­gia. For some rea­son the Cap­tain did not include and of Michael Jack­son’s hits on it. Per­haps he is up to more nefar­i­ous deeds.

The Mix is over this way ->

Key­hole Cabaret!

It is my first time back in the sad­dle this year. I got a new rig to try out live Sat­ur­day. I am not spin­ning vinyl for this one (don’t have enough oldie records). I got a new Korg and Nova­tion midi con­troller and am going to do live beat impro­vi­sa­tion and then throw down some sweet remix tracks of Frank Sina­tra, Mar­i­lyn Mon­roe, and other clas­sics. Check.. check it out.

It starts at 9pm at The Ruby Room.

My friend Lady Bor­gia and the lovely Vamp Tomato are per­form­ing as well.

Weekly Mix­tape!

The Dis­mem­ber­ment Plan’s Emer­gency & I as been on a con­stant rota­tion. Griz­zly Bear joins the cover / col­lab train by cov­er­ing Hot Chip’s Boy From School. Speak­ing of Hot Chip they released a new album “One Life Stand” includ­ing this song “Thieves in the night”. Phantogram’s full length “Eye­lid Movies” it out check out “Turn if Off” (hey I made that video!). Soul­ful indie rocker Flo­rence + The Machine wants to tell us the “Dog Days” are over. Some­one remixed The Bea­t­les and did the song jus­tice, “Come Together (David Starfire rmx)”. Elec­tro rock­ers Pas­sion Pit have been rather busy remix­ing “This To Shall Pass” an Ok Go song and there is a release of a piano ver­sion of “Sleepy­head”. There is a new Matt & Kim remix float­ing around. Then Holy Toledo… Vam­pire Week­end cov­ers Ran­cid… “Ruby Soho”

A sim­ple fast and fun two piece band from Van­cou­ver, BC. Their first album “Post Noth­ing” runs just over 30 min­utes with the 8 tracks on the record­ing. They have two pre­vi­ous EPs “All Lies” & “Lul­laby
Death Jams”. The offi­cial genre for this band is Noise Pop which is very sim­i­lar to shoegaze.

The band uses highly effect dri­ven gui­tar with a lot of noise and feed­back. Their lyrics seem sim­ple but still have depth in the whole mean­ing. “Young Hearts Spark Fire” seems to be about finally
real­iz­ing you have grown up with the line, “We used to dream but now we worry about dying”. But undoubtably our favorite lyric is “We run the gaunt­let, let’s get to France, so we can French Kiss
some French girls.”
