Well, people…we did it again! Last Saturday night was the biggest Blow Pony ever. Thanks so much for coming out, y’all! My favorite part of the night was when Beth Ditto & Nathan “Brace Paine” Howdeshell (from Gossip) were dancing front and center during “Come Home”. Oh my God. Portland is my favorite.
For those of you who weren’t there (and for those of you who were, but couldn’t get past security to get upstairs for my set) below is a bit of what went down on stage with me and The Gentry.
Here are our opening 2 songs, “Smoke Rings” and “Bottom Your Way To The Top”. This was so fun.
…we went from there into “Come Home”…
…and “Write It On My Left Arm” (with a little bit of me preaching to the queers beforehand about telling all the gay hating fuckwads who think we should burn in hell for being ourselves to go screw)…
Big thanks to Airick and the Pony crew for having us play their Pride party and to Kaj-Anne Pepper, Jer Ber Jones, Christeene and all the resident Blow Pony DJs for being so cool and making things awesome with us! We had a great night.

Here’s what they had to say:
From “Mondosonoro” Magazine (2/23/2010)
“Cuenta el propio Logan Lynn que su carrera empezó gracias a entregar una copia de su mixtape “This Is Folk Techno” a la persona adecuada. Deeso hace ya una década, un tiempo excesivamente largo para no haber tenidonoticias de este artista de Portland. Aunque bien mirado, es una suerte haberle descubierto con su tercer largo, “From Pillar To Post”, un epidérmico tratado de electrónica inteligente y distinguidísima, de sonoridades emo en las formas pese a sucontenido. Lynn no es uno más. Sus canciones tienen alma, sus textos hieren ynos hacen tomar consciencia de la complejidad emocional del ser humano, delsome timiento en el sexo y en el amor, de una forma distinta de sentirse queridoo despreciado. Y eso es algo que consigue con buena parte de los mejores cortesdel disco. En “Feed Me To The Wolves” canta “échame a los lobos si cometo unerror/ córtame a trocitos cuando me porte mal”; en “Write It On My Left Arm” selamenta “no me mantengo de pie/ esta habitación se hace cada vez más pequeña/puedes escribirlo en mi corazón/ puedes escribirlo en mi brazo derecho y sialguien me encuentra habré dejado pistas en mi cuerpo”; en “Bleed Him Out” ledice a su pareja “hazme tu esclavo/ tapa mi boca y quémame con cigarrillo shasta que obedezca” y no hace falta apuntar mucho más sobre un tema que titula“Bottom Your Way To The Top”. Tras tres Ep’s de remezclas firmadas por artistascomo Styrofoam o Boys In Static, Lynn acaba de anunciar un nuevo single, unaversión de “The Last High” de The Dandy Warhols (dueños de Beat The World, disco gráfica que edita “From Pillar To Post”
