[...] Well it’s been a hell of a week in music…Radiohead, Madonna et al, but nothing beats a big fat sweaty night out in a small club watching this week’s act of the moment, Justice tearing it up. And I say that without cynicism as much as with a dose of reality, things move fast these days. The Justice guys don’t DJ so much as fire off sharp, staccato cut ups interspersed with power drill bursts of synth bass lines all designed to make you bounce off the walls, and the crowd at Holocene did just that. Not quite as intense a night as the Girl Talk blow out but still pretty impressive. Props also to Adam and Justin from Nemo Design for the cool Justice poster.

[...] Well, Justice plays Portland, the biggest thing to hit town since the last biggest thing to hit town and you didn’t get tickets? There may be a solution. I talked to Scott Mclean over at Holocene and he tells me that there will be 50 tickets available at the door on the night of the show so you procrastinators may well be in luck yet. Maybe it’ll be as crazy as last September’s Girl Talk gig.. [...]

[...] Ok, after starting out at 3PM Saturday afternoon I managed to roll around town catching the CD Forge party, the Music Millenium party and then meet Jenny Tatone and head off to see Ghostface Killah. Here’s where our day got weird….when did PDX import those giant paramilitary, black-clad security guys? What a buzz kill, and of course a sad commentary on how hip hop shows are viewed in Portland. As poster guru, Mike King said to me, “welcome to White Chocolate City, Dave”. Ouch! Anyway, back to Ghostface. I suppose it was nice of Nike to help bring artists to town for the festival but it felt strange and Jenny and I couldn’t get into the vibe, boredom set in as well as heat exhaustion so we went for dinner. After food we went over to Towne Lounge to mellow out with electronic/analog composer Ethan Rose. Watch the video. Brilliant atmospherics. We caught some of the Jackie-O Motherfucker set and then went over to Satyricon to arrive at the end of Yacht’s set, damn. Hung out with Danny from Menomena and Maggie Vail and Portia from Kill Rock Stars. From there it was to the Roseland to catch the mayhem that is Girl Talk. [...]
