The Builders and the Butchers’ “Golden Green”

I said it once but it’s so true I’ll say it again: Portland is in a golden era of rad music videos. Our stable of local directors continue to up the ante and the Builders and the Butchers new Henry-Darger-inspired track from Salvation is a Deep Dark Well is no different. Local booker, [...]

Bruno Castrated In Order to Maximize Quantity of Dollar Bills Garnered by Studio

In a startling move by Universal Studios, they’ve decided to re-cut Bruno in order to get a wider audience in the UK and Ireland. They’ve snipped and spliced so as to achieve the equivalent of our PG-13 rating.  Apparently the demand is so ravenous that the studio had no choice but to relent and offer [...]

Blue Horns at Backspace

This is a show I filmed from a while back at Backspace – a night with 4 awesome bands: Patterns, Inside Voices, Blue Horns and Church. I’ll be putting out more videos as time passes I spun the wheel and today you get to enjoy a song by Blue Horns.

If you’re digging this one, there [...]

Really? Seriously? Ok… Hell YES!! MacGruber!?!

Oh, if only every day could start with news as shockingly glorious as this. SNL’s resident bumbling MacGuyver wanna be, MacGruber, is coming to the big screen. Normally, any SNL related news pretty much gets mentally shredded, because for all I’m concerned SNL is now  doing just as much to sully the name of comedy [...]

Episode 7 of Truckerspeed in 3D

Check out episode 7 of our public access TV show (in Portland) where I’m joined by my friend Jon Hurst. We talk about beer, dancing, show some music videos and even give shout outs…to a lady! Filmed in our greenscreen basement studio in Southeast Portland.

Blitzen Trapper Release Black River Killer Video

I’m a big fan of Portland’s Blitzen Trapper – and weighing in at 37 iTunes plays I’ve listened “Black River Killer” more times than any other track on their most recent release “Furr.” While the band has always been a purveyor of fine music videos, this creepy murder ballad takes the prize.

The [...]

Predator: State of the Union

If by some divine chance the gods smiled on you like they smiled on me then you must have, at some point in your life, been a little boy. I’m sure little girls had it made too, but from first-hand experience I can attest that being a little boy was golden-euphoria. And being a little [...]

Explode into Colors Explodes in the Portland Art Museum

As we started to polish up the next episode of the Penny Jam (our ongoing video series), it occurred to me that we hadn’t posted the most recent episode, number 24 featuring Explode into Colors.

It’s been getting some loving on the internet, and for good reason. Explode into Colors brings the energy like a [...]

Ben Folds’ A Capella Odyssey

So last night I was poking around on Youtube looking for something to tuck me in and I stumbled accross this well-shot, 15-minute documentary. Ben Folds Presents: Unviersity A Cappella!.

I’m no aficionado but I do enjoy A Capella quite a bit. I think my appreciation comes from living with a guy in [...]
