——————————————————————

Win Tickets: Jeremy Jay, Sea Pony @ Holocene | K Records, Lo-Fi Pop (Jan. 26, $14)
Jeremy Jay grew up in Los Angeles speaking exclusively French. If his idea of the cinematic differs from the glacial landscapes of Sigur Rós, or the widescreen orchestration of Eluvium, blame it on Jean-Luc Godard. The lo-fi pop singer/songwriter’s releases evoke an urban boulevard of yet-unbroken dreams. To win, comment on this post here.

New Poster: As most people know, Portlandia commissioned this great Battlestar Galactica themed poster for the second episode of the season. They continue to release new posters for every episode and you can download the new one at the IFC site here.

From IFC: Here at IFC we know you like nice things, like “Portlandia” and posters about “Portlandia.” Luckily for you, we are more than happy to share. Each week we are showing a brand new episode from the second season of “Portlandia” and a poster to match. Head over to the Portlandia poster site to download your very own copy of the episode’s poster. It’s yours, so go ahead and put it on your desktop, pickle it, or put a bird on it. This week we are happy to feature the astounding art work of Tae Won Yu whose work you might recognize from the (best) Built To Spill album covers and many other places.

Rolling Stone Video interview: Rolling Stone released a new video this week of Fred and Carrie interviewing each other. It’s not that exciting, but we do get to hear about former Portland fast-food chain Macheezmo Mouse, which closed its doors in 2003. You can watch the video here on Rolling Stone’s website.

Mt. Tabor Theater

The Original Middle Age Ska Enjoy Club formed in 2007 with a shared love of ska, rocksteady, and reggae and the singular goal of providing the musical entertainment at the wedding of two dear friends. Once past that initial milestone they realized their true ambitions had always been much deeper: to conquer the galaxy using the positive acoustic vibrations that can only be created with ska music!

They began their intergalactic auditory assault in the wilds of inner Southeast Portland. After initially gaining a beachhead at the Queen of Hearts Tavern, they began spreading our bouncy, upbeat message to other nearby quadrants, making new friends and liberating the city’s earnest residents from the tyrannical rule of the downbeat.

If “making it” in “the business” is all you ever dream about, it is time for your initiation – you must purify yourself in the waters of ShanRock’s Triviology.

You must be well versed in the film, the soundtrack . . . and in Prince’s guidelines for picking up women (e.g., lurking behind them at an uncomfortably close distance, stealing their jewelry, and tricking them into getting nekkid). This quiz will also feature a round of trivioke, which is extra-super-mega-fun! Don’t miss it, onion-head!
