Logan Lynn: Journal

this day is like a horrible fight i cannot see your eyes but you are lying we are close now tonight you've been stretched on my mind i keep holding you tight i thought it was you and me 'til the wheels fall off i thought it was you and me but you throw it all away make room for the wandering it's in your mouth take off that ring and leave me on a bed in queens to you i am nothing i am not worth loving i thought it was you and me 'til the wheels fall off i thought it was you and me

As you may or may not know, I actually give a shit about stuff that matters sometimes. After playing AIDS WALK PORTLAND this past year for the Cascade AIDS Project in Portland, I have branched out and have also made friends with the folks at HIV ALLIANCE in our neighboring city, Eugene. They're good people doing good things for other good people and I think they're great. If you have been feeling like being a DO-GOOD-ER lately yourself, you should check it out. Your Karma will glow afterwards.

Interview with: Logan Lynn
Interview By: The Realist from GreenlandLive.net

Logan Lynn is a singer-songwriter with a background in the dance music scene as well as pop and rock and roll. 'It's hard to pinpoint what it is that I do and how exactly I go there.' After slew a of mildly successful bands Logan went solo in 1998 and put out his first record called 'GLEE' in 2000. 'The music was hard for the industry to categorize back then, so I have been lumped into a bunch of different categories (or NO category) ever since; 'Emotronic','Crybaby Techno','Indie Electropop'...I figure people can call it whatever they like, as long as they are listening to my music.'

Logan hated his name growing up, but 'it's pretty enjoyable now because Logan Lynn just sounds like a stars name!' People always assume that Logan Lynn is a band name, or a stage name, but really he's just a solo act who has been really lucky to work with kick ass DJs and Producers since the start of his career in the 90's. Logan grew up listening to and was influenced by artists like THE INNOCENCE MISSION, SAM PHILLIPS, THE SUNDAYS, TORI AMOS, LIZ PHAIR...and Logan is still listening to the same folks today; he really likes a lot of what is happening in music right now in the ladies world...REGINA SPEKTOR, LESLIE FEIST, EMILY HAINES, KATE NASH... “It’s good stuff. I'm, like...WAY inspired.”

As long as his music can keep growing in an honest direction and he can keep his finger on the pulse of what's going on in his head as well as on the dance floor, he sees himself being in a really good place. Logan music is inspired by finding joy through sadness...a need to connect with like-minded individuals, “Different things drive it at different times...but it tends to revolve around my insecurities and struggles about being human.”

Logan’s upcoming record is titled 'From Pillar to Post',which, when boiled down, means 'to run amuck', he believes it is the most honest he’s ever been a part of musically, so he’s just into it. He is currently working with Producer Carlos Cortes from Portland DJ Collective 'Assemble the Empire' and he is collaborating with a TON of other musicians on this record, whereas in the past it has been mostly Logan, his Casio SK-1 and a shitload of red wine!

Logan is one of the most diverse and upcoming stars of the indie music scene many have never heard and I will let him tell you about a defining moment in his career thus far, “I opened for THE PRESETS,BOB MOULD and MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT at the FOLSOM STREET FAIR in San Francisco for over 400,000 people...Leather Daddies, actually...it was monumental. Things have really snowballed from there. It's been great to actually find an audience for my weirdness...I wasn't expecting the response I've gotten, but I'm eating it up. It rules!”

GreenlandLive.net would like to THANK Logan Lynn for taking the time to chat with The Realist from GreenlandLive.net!

DING! LOGAN LYNN JOINS THE DANDY'S NEW LABEL!

It’s easy to figure why most music critics—even, especially ‘community’ obsessed northwest writers (our own very much included)—trash the Dandy Warhols. They specialize in infectious, lyrically-available, immediately-explicable pop rendering the critic’s job rather beside the point. They freely admit the quality of drugs and sex partners available to rock stars to be perks of the job. Most damning, they’re a singles band. Had they the good sense to put out a dozen 45s in 1967 and record a series of majestically-condescending interviews to fawning magazines before well-timed overdoses, we’d all be lighting candles (or, likely, other things) upon Taylor-Taylor Street each year.

As is, despite the mountain of press CTT* spends detailing the glories of his hometown to the international press, they are locally considered from Portland but not of Portland. Too careerist (which makes no sense). Too haughty (ever talk up Janet Weiss?). Too attractive (perhaps, but their unending advertisement for NW glam have buffered the ranks). Too…happy? Confident in their powers? Unabashed in their desire to change the town, or, at least, their little quarter, towards a well-articulated vision of…I know, I know, but there’s no other phrase…urban Bohemia? Put simply, they’ve never sought to Keep Portland Weird or indulge a Malkmusian sense of artist-in-residence at riverside village. The mission statement’s been there from the beginning, but, now, the Dandy’s have built their compound, imported allies, and started a label.

Following themselves and next week’s concert openers the Upside Down, Logan Lynn becomes the third artist to be signed to Beat The World Records. A dayglo electro performer, Lynn’s ecstatic intelligence and untempered glee through two EPs and LOGO-rotated videos resembles a sweaty Postal Service capable of inelegant emotions or The Pet Shop Boys were they sorta hot and born to the civil unions generation—”Ring Around,” for an artist whose press protests (wrongly) he “brings the ‘mo back to emo,” tackles proposals absent politics. CTT’s set to produce his debut full-length From Pillar To Post (and, we hope, counsel against Lynn’s cap choices) early next year and, one expects, set dancefloors thumping worldwide.

Another soldier joins the ranks, and I, for one, welcome our new glam overlords. “Keep Portland Intriguing And Pretty And Well-Drugged” would be a far better bumper sticker, but, then, do you know anyone who drives?

* There’s a number of explanations given to the Taylor-Taylor name change. He’s said before that, well, his parents are still together. A fondness for Terry-Thomas, perhaps. British mags supposed that, accompanying a celebrity down the red carpet years past, he was asked his name and stumbled a repetition which was then printed. I believe he insists upon it purely to fuck with the press. Which, much as I appreciate the thought, I don’t wanna fully enable.

IT'S OFFICIAL! CARLOS AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. THINGS IN LABEL LAND ARE STILL UNDER WRAPS FOR A LITTLE BIT, BUT WE ARE ALLOWED TO LEAK THIS MUCH.

:)

BASICALLY, "BEAT THE WORLD" RECORDS IS THE SHIT. THE DANDYS ARE THE SHIT. THE UPSIDE DOWN ARE THE SHIT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE ARE IN FUCKING INCREDIBLE COMPANY.

THIS IS HOW THE PRESS RELEASE READ TODAY...



LOGAN LYNN SIGNS TO DANDY WARHOLS NEW LABEL
BEAT THE WORLD RECORDS TO RELEASE NEW RECORD SPRING 2008

December 6, 2007 (New York, NY) - Remember watching the movie 'Dig' and
being shocked by how crappy life on a major label was for the Dandy
Warhols? Well things have changed. As of this year Courtney Taylor-Taylor
and the Dandy Warhols have created their very own record label: Beat The
World, which is just what they intend to do. Accompanying them is a
carefully chosen, elite team of new world soldiers: The Upside Down, The
Dandies themselves and of course, our very own secretary-general of
emotronic dismay Logan Lynn, 'the man who put the disco back in
discomfort.'

Logan's EP, 'Feed Me To The Wolves' was released in October with the video
of the same name enjoying airplay on LOGO's 'New Now Next'. Logan is
currently putting the finishing touches on his debut L.P. 'From Pillar To
Post,' due out on Beat The World in Spring 2008. The forthcoming debut,
featuring production by Dandy Courtney Taylor-Taylor, promises to be yet
another wry, compulsively danceable, occasionally tear-jerking affair.
Don't miss the buzz.
