Hey everybody! It’s been a pretty minute since I posted anything other than goings-on in musicland on here, so I figured I’d take a minute to check in with all of you while I catch my breath. I have been swept up in what is nothing short of a whirlwind of busy days and busy nights all crammed together into what the folks in my camp have been collectively calling “the release”. It’s all very exciting…but there has not been a lot of time to stop and think, much less organize thoughts in a presentable way.

Anyway, I’m still here…still me…still trying to figure shit out as I go. For the first time in a really long time I feel relieved and hopeful…like a great burden has been lifted from my shoulders and I can, like…move forward…not just with music stuff, but with my life as a whole.

I know many of you who have known me any length of time in real life know what a bumpy ride it has been to get from there to here…that is putting it lightly…but for those of you who have let me be here with you now as this person, even with the knowledge of who I have journeyed through being while trying to get here with you, there are really no words for how thankful I am. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, AND I CARRY YOUR LOVE WITH ME WHEREVER I GO. It is SO much more fun to carry than what I was lugging around before.

Here’s the thing: I’m turning 30 next month… Read the rest of this entry »

The folks over at the music blog “Your Moment Of Zen” had some nice stuff to say about the new record today! You can check the full post out HERE

…and now for a bit of the review:

“Technology has allowed for some truly amazing developments in music. These days one can write, record, remix, package and distribute an entire body of work with little or no help from anyone else. Marry this to the splintering of the music industry where labels are less important as a connection to alternative media outlets and you have an entirely new methodology of music. The human connection is more important than ever when it comes to getting people to listen to your music. So the fact that I am even reviewing music from Portland based Logan Lynn is a testament to his connections.

Signed to the label founded by THE DANDY WARHOLS is a step in the right direction. Even though musically Lynn’s sound is as far away from the Warhols, the name recognition helped me give it a chance. “Feed Me To the Wolves” almost sounds like a lost DEPECHE MODE B side (back when they gave a damn and weren’t just manufacturing sounds for a paycheck) whereas “Write It On My Left Arm” has more of a Laptop Pop Feel (a la THE POSTAL SERVICE) but with more vocal effects. Other parts of the album have a more atmospheric approach that recalls MOBY in both music and vocals.

Apparently Mr. Lynn is quite prolific and after releasing this latest record he plans on two more in the near future. Which is also a by product of this new DIY computer culture of music; a near endless stream of creativity direct to the consumers. And that is never a bad thing…”
