Re: “In the Air: Blossoms, BBQ and New Releases”
Micachu & The Shapes new album "Jewellery" is out today and I'm hella excited about the disc (I got an advance listen, being partially plugged into the music press scene). It could either fly under the radar or it will garnish a 8.0 review on P4k and be the new Pains of Being Pure at Heart. You decide! (er, I mean, P4k decides...)
Re: “Haunts of Western Oregon”
I think this guy Kent had my job at Eugene Weekly before I did, and definitely before I was laid off last month. I look forward to writing/researching(?) books on Oregon's "fascinating" oral histories (fact or faux?) in the soon future. I think mine will be called "Places In Which To Lose Your Freaking Mind in a Soggy Timber Town, with Anecdotal Evidence." Look for it in your local Goodwill thrift stores in Fall 2011.

Re: “Unnatural Helpfulness: What Do You Entail?”
are there "unnatural helpers" in the world? i mean, there's so much fake, digi-stuff clouding out our "natural" world that I'd like to think that entities like Ask.com or even Google could qualify as an "unnatural helper." You, Ms. Bish, are my "natural helper" in weeding out what's good and what's just plain suck.
Re: “Our Requisite Animal Collective Blog Post”
I now amend my previous post: "Brother Sport" has been a song in the pipeline since at least 2007 (well before "Alegranza!" came out) so, um, dibs go back to AC.
Re: “Two Things At Once”
I'd agree with Llama: Jeff Buckley.
And in the realm of the living: While he has nominal pre-programmed beats (which his wife pretends to "play" during live sets), Dan Boeckner as Handsome Furs is pretty much a one-man electric guitar & vocals machine.
