I love you all for coming out to “Jinx” Bar in Portland last night for the CD Release party my label put on for me. Thanks so much to Ryan, The Dandy Warhols, & all the sponsors (“Just Out” Newsweekly, “Vault Martini”, “Beat The World Records”, & “Jinx” Bar)…and big, BIG thanks to DJ Rescue for being her amazing self, as ever. I’ve said it before, but I am convinced that Zia McCabe is an angel sent from heaven to bless our ears and faces. Thanks for making the night a good time, you sweet people!!!
Here’s some photos from the evening for those of you who missed it. It suddenly turned into a dance party around Midnight. Super fun. Thanks for coming out to celebrate the new record finally coming out! You guys rule.
I was interviewed by “Oregon Music News” last week and the story went live today. To check it out, CLICK HERE or you can read the full transcript below. The story will also be running on the homepage of the “Oregon Music News” website this Sunday, so…YAY. Thanks, OMN! I love it when magazines print my words as I say them instead of picking and choosing little snippets and making me sound stupid.
Here’s the transcript, folks:
From “Oregon Music News” (11/19/2009)
“Logan Lynn makes emotronic, electropop. A gay man from America’s heartland, raised in a family of cult-like, born-again Christians, he’s found a way out of some dark, lost days. Influenced by folk music growing up and DJs in Chicago, Logan’s demo was titled This Is Folk Techno. Sentimental lyrics paired with capricious electro-beats, Logan’s sound ranges from dejected to dancey, creating moods that resemble The Postal Service. Relishing in Portland’s creativity, Logan is signed to The Dandy Warhols’ label Beat The World and is becoming a people person. He celebrates his new album From Pillar To Post with a listening party on Sunday, November 22nd at Jinx Bar with The Dandy’s Zia McCabe spinning records as DJ Rescue, but before the drinks, Logan chats about being emo, hiding under the sheets, and grandma’s adages.”
OMN: Are you emo? What’s wrong with that word? Or is it just right?
LL: Well, that depends. Read the rest of this entry »
