Hi East Portland Blog, The inspiration for my new track, “Run With You,” came from reflecting on one of my musical heroes who I’d opened for during my time as a member of Hey Rosetta! Before one gig in Toronto I passed her in a stairwell. It was just the two of us. I complimented …

Blair Lee’s new single, “Gladstone,” is an immersive reinterpretation of a state that often captures the singer, “one of extreme thoughts that consume me.” The song’s lyrics follow looping, circular thoughts that eventually lead to an outburst. The refrain – “Gladstone glass of wine, throw it out the window” – is a reference to a …
Mal Élevé, his name means “rude” in French, but in this song he’s rapping in German and maybe French too. Europeans can really go to town where languages are concerned.

This prompts something that I’d forgotten… my mom was a fan of the Sears surplus store, especially at Christmas. It was down in the area now called “Sodo.” We’re talking 1970s/early 80s. Though my father had a great job – he was a vice-president of SeaFirst bank, running all their computers – he kept us …

One of the political weapons Bernie Sanders wields that few others possess and none can simply obtain, is that his fans are going to come to THE SHOW. His youth vote is 4 years older, but few have fallen off his wagon that filled a Seattle Stadiums even Vermont’s mighty Phish could not fill. And …
Sipping my secret concoction of healthy hot cocoa, reciting Sinatra lyrics in the dark, as the Cascade Mountains and my first Jazz Cabbage show in Seattle at Ohana Belltown stand before me. I worked hard memorizing all these lyrics. It has yet to be my forte, but it must be. This is next curve I …
Lavender Lemonade by Aline & Wes I love this track. You’re going to love Aline Vida’s voice too. She’s amazing. One of a kind. There’s none like her. But if you listen close you’ll hear some echoes of Lady Day, Aretha, maybe a little Nina Simone, and a restless rocker too. Can’t nail that one …
So, the Supremes recorded some show tunes. Deal with it. This one is pretty cool, and now they’ve added a Christmas video.
It’s great to have the Chairman of the Board at Christmas, but where’s Dean? He was the one who always wore the Santa suit. It would be good to have Sammy there too. And JFK. Just the four of them. No Peter Lawford, no Joey Bishop, no sexy young starlets to distract them. Christmas Eve …
Behold a great little slacker rock quartet from Salt Lake City called: oh?no!ok. They deliver (Oh you bet they deliver!) nonchalant pop punk nuggets (with dipping sauce), packed with fuzz and snark (and biodegradable cardboard) , exploring the joys and sorrows of being young, gifted, broke, and way too clever for your own good. Their …
Continuing on the legacy of a distinguished parent comes with honor, and at times pressure, to be on par with the impressive musical lineage. But Christopher Ellis (son of International Reggae and World Music Awards Hall of Fame inductee Alton Ellis) has managed to forge his own path boasting his distinctive unique sound. Crafting his …
Anybody got any great memories relating to this song? Released in 1981 on an album of the same name, I recall this song was a breakthrough of sorts, driving through the college radio ether and making Americana music seem youthful and energetic again. Joe Ely kicked a door open and Steve Earle drove a truck …
This is an old Carter family tune, and a lovely one. It is most reassuring to hear it again as interpreted by Lindsay from soundslikereign.com. (Their music is great. Be careful with theirs or anyone’s theology. I hope they’re ok and I hope they come through their internet fame in good shape.) This version of …
He ain’t Yoda. He’s Baby Yolo, and he’s going to get into some real Dark sh☆t. Katiana Anastasia Tucker made some prescient predictions during our shift slanging that Cabbage, as she is a self-professed Star Wars dork with a deep background in cloning. But I’ll take credit for the Yolo thing. Baby Yoda is gonna …
When they released their 2017 debut EP under the name Gamba, vocalist Tessa Hutchinson, guitarist Joe Simich and drummer Kim Thair laid the groundwork for what would become Green Pools.

Their debut single “Oh Sweet Baby” was just premiered on Billboard and they’ve drawn strong comparisons to Sturgill Simpson & Jenny Lewis.
As if I’d face-planted on unexploded ordinance from a sonic revolution long lost, my mind has been blown by the surprise absorption of supercool and ultrasubversive music from a personal hero who had been silent for way too long. Rawb Middleton’s new work, What Is It?…And Why Is It Here? arrived in the mail today …
