So happy with this. And I'll admit- it feels sooo good to hold the newspaper version in my hand.

A first of many?
Wowzer I am going absolutely crazy, I'm bouncing off the walls. I'm just so excited. Okay I like lists and my head is going all types of crazy so to clear things up for me here's a list.
1. I haven't blogged about my show in months. I will do it. I will. But right now I'm blogging about something else, which is totally new to me and this blog but it's about music and travel. boom.
2. I wrote an article for the Founder about the Austin Music scene and I'm so pumped about it. It's truly what I want to be doing, writing about music and places. But also not what I want to be doing. As soon as I label something or make something to concrete I lose interest. Like as soon as I've decided what direction I want to go into I quickly turn the other way. Yes I want to write. But not just all the time. And I definitely don't want to be linked to the term 'journalism'. Yes I want to travel, but I also want a fixed place to call home. I definitely, definitely want something to do with music. Now that's definitely something fixed.
3. I originally started this post because I wanted to list all the music that I've just found and that's buzzing around in my head and I need a place to put it!! So thats what I came here to do and now I've gone off track and am talking about future career plans. That's because it all interlinks and meshes together. I just wrote another article for the Founder about the Portland Music scene and there's so much great stuff coming out of there. That's what I wanted to write down here in this blog entry. I'm also buzzing because I really definitely want to spend some time out there next year. It's all part of my Great American Plan you see. As I'm typing this I'm also talking to my Music Editor and it's getting me horribly confused.
4. So yes. Portland article. Bloody wicked, so happy with it, so happy I got to write it. Watched a mini series about the electronic scene in Portland produced by Wieden & Kennedy and they introduced me to so much new music. At the same time I was talking to a friend who's a LTMN DJ and he was recommending some tracks. So, finally, what I came here to do, here they are:
1. Atole- from Portland so good
2. Nurses - ditto
3 White Rainbow- still trying to track some tracks down but I have a feeling he'll be sick
4. Night Plane- do remixes of Warpaint and Best Coast, which are literally eargasm
5. Soul Clap- so good especially this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML-N4O2GIfU
6. Nicco Jarr
7. Explode into Colours- a Portland trio to watch
Okay that is all. Before I have a nervous breakdown I'm off. I'm attempting too much at the same time. But its oh so fun! Another Portland show coming up this week on Transport Yourself. Simply did not do it justice the other time round. Now I'm more informed, I'll inform you, so listen in.
