Somme is a two piece post-rock / expiremental musical adventure that you need to definitely check out. I am currently listening to the track Massless off of their Weight EP.

If you were lucky enough to be at Relative Theory back on November 1st, then you are familiar with delectable Portland Post-Rock outfit Grails and the tremendous (so I hear incessantly) brutally gorgeous live show they put on.

The first video is the Music Video for their single “Phantom Limb”. It is one of the better videos i have seen in recent years, coolest school play ever. The second is the song “Turn on Me” also from the new record, on The Late Show with David Letterman. If anyone knows who the female […]

This episode is the hizzy and it’s only January. 2007 feels aimless thus far but maybe were spiraling in the right direction.
Tom Brosseau will be playing at The Boot on March 7. Be sure to attend if you enjoy a good heart warming accompanied by a fine heartbreak.
