In anticipation of the big co-headlining show for Loch Lomond this week, we thought we’d link to the hiqh quality download of “Blue Lead Fence(s)” offered via the taste-making RCRD LBL blog (albeit few weeks ago). This is a track off the as yet untitled new album, which was recently given a video treatment by photographer Alicia Rose.

Aladdin Theater – Portland, Oregon
It’s amazing how far Daytrotter has come in the last year, in terms of readership. This is now the fifth HUSH artist to be showcased on the breath-of-fresh-air rival to the Pitchfork-Stereogum industrial complex. Head on over, read a spell, and take it all in.
After a year on the festival circuit, The Auteur finally makes it to a screen in Portland. Local film maker James Westby’s film has been drawing a lot of attention, and not simply because it’s riddled with nudity. The Willamette Week put it pretty well, saying, “The rigorous, ramshackle staging makes The Auteur the first titty movie that could have been produced by Rushmore’s Max Fischer. The Auteur may be just the latest movie to mock pornography, but it’s the first one since Boogie Nights to show a belief in movies.
The tight wire act of balancing raunchiness and earnestness was carried out with an adept and unique vision. Likewise the soundtrack features a compelling mix Portland music luminaries: Laura Gibson, Norfolk & Western, Flash Hawk Parlor Ensemble, The Decemberists, The Shaky Hands, and Blanket Music, to name a few. Go see it. It is the quintessence of LOL.
Lastly check out a wildly popular IFCnews Segment (8 million views and counting!) that cuts together film clips in with actor insights.
