Tobacco sometimes runs with a group called Black Moth Super Rainbow. With his Tobacco mission, he works alone. Tobacco’s tools are analog synths, tape machines, and deformed incantations from throats unknown. His music is a wash of distortion and melody over jagged beats. It amalgamates hypnotic, cosmopolitan pop, gritty, propulsive hip-hop and a night full of fevered dreams. It buoys the spirit, braces the nerves, and smuggles disoriented paranoia deep into the subconscious. These are anxiously driven, effortlessly smooth and unapologetically badass sounds of inner nature. The man has established Read the rest of this entry »

Gerding Theater at The Armory
128 NW Eleventh Avenue

At its core, Portland, Oregon, is a city with imagination and an insatiable desire to learn and to create. Please join us in celebrating what we hope will be the first of many exciting and inspiring TEDxPortland events to come.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations). Guest speakers include Spencer Beebe, president of EcoTrust, Karen Brooks, foodie and Portland Monthly author, and Read the rest of this entry »

It might have been called a ‘camp’, but there were no roasted marshmallows, and mercifully, there were no endless rounds of “Kumbaya” either at Cocktail Camp PDX on Sunday, April 10.

Instead, cocktail enthusiasts filled tables in the lobby of the gorgeous Gerding Theater at the Armory to hear presentations on beer-based cocktails (“Why have one when you can have both?”), successful home-entertaining, and DIY Sodas, syrups, and bitters, among other topics.

GAME 5: Timbers (1-1-2) vs FC Dallas (1-1-2)
Sunday, April 17, 3:00 p.m. ROOT
Previous match-up(s): None

The Portland Timbers and their fans are riding high on emotion after opening Jeld-Wen Field with a win against Chicago on Thursday. But they will have to fight to take any points against a Dallas team that looks to have beaten its season starting slump.

Dallas looked uninspired in their first three games, losing two and tying one, but ran rings around the Colorado Rapids in their last match, winning three to zero. Dallas were a consistently tough and determined side in Read the rest of this entry »

After appearing on the American talk show “the Colbert Report” the album climbed to number one spots on both iTunes and Amazon charts.

Notable here is that these were American charts and Movits! are singing in Swedish, More on Movits + Hauschka after the jump… Read the rest of this entry »
