Spectrum Culture

For those of you that know me on a personal level, you know I have a thing for music. I know what I think sounds good, and enjoy discovering new tastes. I know I have turned on many people to stuff that they now listen to regularly, and others have done the same for me. I find I am more in the Indie scene than anywhere else. I enjoy the genuine group doing what they genuinely enjoy doing and getting to know them a little. It's what I do.

I recently was brought on as a contributer for Spectrum Culture. A very good resource for talking about the music today that everyone else will be talking about tomorrow. Lots of reviews of music, food, film. I get to do reviews on bands, maybe a concert or two and hopefully interview some new or old talent. I am totally excited. Dream job? Just maybe...

I hope you enjoy my pics. No particular rhyme or reason. I shoot what catches my eye.

Peace.

Sasquatch!

Allow me to take a second before you peruse the following pictures of the Sasquatch Festival, Day One. The photo chapters below are showing with the last band, progressive to the first band. To get the correct experience, start at the first Sasquatch posting and work your way up the page.

All in all, great day of music. Kings of Leon were by far the best performance, and the main reason I went, but Devotchka, the Doves, Dent May and his Magnificent Ukulele, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were all outstanding. Highly entertaining and were good fits for the wide open Gorge. The Decemberists could have played some of their older stuff, but they stuck to the new album only, which was ok. Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band was a little disappointing, however.

If you didn't go and are a fan of any of the bands I shot, then I hope you can enjoy these.

Oh yeah, there was also an incident that occurred during the Decemberists. Apparently, a young couple must have been either caught up in the moment of the venue, or were just really hot for each other and needed to hump, cause in the third or forth song into the set, the young couple scaled some cliffs, got nekked, and started going at it. It didn't take long for most of the crowd to see it. You KNOW they got caught! Even Colin (lead singer) was pointing at them! Yeah, i've got pics, but they are (vaguely) NSFW. I'll show them by request!
