You probably know this one as she’s been getting plenty of airplay on KEXP. Still, had to mention it as I love it and Mother by her band Cold Beat is also a gem.

I (finally!) saw St. Vincent here in Portland yesterday evening and she was quite fantastic. I do see and enjoy a lot of live music but it was a particularly great show. I've been a fan of hers for a while but have somehow never seen her live - I definitely will do so again.

This morning on Early I heard Eva say she didn't have a Friday song but if she did it would be Loverboy "Working for the Weekend".. Got me thinking what my Friday song would be.. What would your's be?

I'm very excited to see my favorite darkwave band from PDX 'Darkswoon' this Saturday at the Central Saloon, on the bill for June, Jupe record release. See you there? https://centralsaloon.com/events/jupe-jupe-record-release-darkswoon-hot-hail-dj-activate/

I braved an ice storm for an out-of-town Nine Inch Nails show last night and it made me think of going on musical road trips. I think the furthest I’ve gone specifically for a concert is Minneapolis (from Toronto) though I’ve certainly caught concerts further away while already travelling. My (probably mathematically unbreakable) record there is Sydney.
