It’s October and I don’t know about you, but I’m turning 30 this month. I’m excited about this birthday over all other birthdays that I can remember. I am thinking this is maybe because I spent more than a few years thinking I would never reach this age due to the chemical tailspin I was in for 16 years. Most people who knew me in real life during this time had a similar feeling about my longevity, I’m sure. I am SO excited that I was wrong about this. I’m grateful that I have made it out of that waking nightmare alive and am pleased as punch to be here with all of you now, healthy and humbled with both feet planted firmly on the GROUND.
I figured I’d give away a song that fits in with the theme this week…
“The Dotted Line” is Track 13 on my new record (the final track) and was written while I was in a rehab center during the first part of 2008 finally getting my shit together. I put it last on the record because it felt to me like a little burst of hope at the tail end of documenting a rather difficult journey. It’s about picking up the broken pieces and putting them back together and, ultimately, letting go.
I hope you all find yourselves in a place of truth in your own experiences, whatever your truths may be…however wonderful or painful, forgettable or memorable. This is one piece of mine. Thanks for letting me share it with you.

Sep 19, 2009Comments Off on "UNDER THE RADAR" MAGAZINE PREVIEWS (AND REVIEWS) THE FIRST TRACK OFF OF LOGAN LYNN'S "FROM PILLAR TO POST" ON THEIR SITE!
I’ll take the comparisons they give any day of the week. I love it when they give props to the folks we worked with, too. There are links to Y-Tron and Boy In Static in the post as well! Hell-2-the-yesss.
“Logan Lynn hails from Portland, OR and crafts some delightfully warm synth-pop on his debut full-length, From Pillar to Post. That album drops November 24th via The Dandy Warhols’ Beat the World, but we have a slick preview MP3 above for your earlobes. It’s called “Feed Me to the Wolves” and toes the line between Cut Copy’s epic chimes and Ladytron’s dancefloor squiggling.
Lynn is giving away a four-volume remix EP with every purchase of his record directly from his website. Remixers include Boy In Static, Y-Tron and Sound//Audio. According to Lynn’s publicist he’ll release the songs digitally Spring 2010, via iTunes, et al.”
Sep 14, 2009Comments Off on NEW SONG POSTED! LOGAN LYNN: "BOTTOM YOUR WAY TO THE TOP" FEATURING JEN FOLKER FROM "DAHLIA"!!!
Hey, everybody! I posted a new song from the new record, “From Pillar To Post”, in the music player today! Check it out! The female voice you hear is Portland electro icon Jen Folker from “Dahlia”. It was an honor to get her on the song…she is someone that I used to pay to go see EVERY WEEK at the Ohm back in the day…like, for YEARS. She has continued to hold my ears and my heart captive in the years since and I asked her first when it was time to look for a special someone to sing along with. I’m really lucky that I got all of these talented folks on board with this record…I am constantly pinching myself when looking at the liner notes and credits.

True to form, we have REMIXES of this track as well, which appear on the “Blood In The Water” Remix EP Collection. You can download “Bottom Your Way To The Top (The Gentry Remix)” FOR FREE below:
