Pure Bathing Culture
A while back I posted about the Portland band Pure Bathing Culture (I’m really in love with their music) and tonight they are playing their first show at the Doug Fir! If you are in the Portland area and curious about a great new band, then get thine hineys down to the Doug Fir!
Rachel Blumberg in Dream Land
Rachel Blumberg! Where do I start with this one? Rachel, besides generally being the sweetest lady there ever could be, is a sort of magical elf person that creates and expresses herself in myriad ways. She’s a prolific and wonderful painter, maker of movies and music and a sick drummer. The woman’s got soul. It’s hard to encapsulate all that she is, so I think you should pop over to her website to find out more about her. Rachel has shared with me one of her reoccurring dreams and it is over the top. This dream is funny while also being Orwellian and bleak, plus, there are fuzzy yellow muppet people to lighten the mood. While listening to Rachel tell her dream, I was struck by the fact that this dream came from the mind of a child. Somewhere in the subconscious of her little kid brain lurked some pretty dystopian shit! Where does all this come from? Why do we have the dreams we do? Rachel and I spent a blustery, rainy day hanging out in her cozy studio and then went out into the bracing cold with her dog, Ms. Stella Bean, to walk and talk about dreams…
