Operators, Bogan Via
Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs, Divine Fits) has yet to be in a bad band. His current project, Operators, is no exception, delivering forth icy-cool dance jams, rigid-yet-sexy rockers, and fantastically stylish Euro-flavored synth pop. The dance party starts here. NED LANNAMAN

Blazers vs. Thunder
Barring an utter collapse (typing this with crossed fingers, BTW) the Blazers are going to make the playoffs. They’re probably gonna face the team that sportswriter Bill Simmons calls “the Zombie Supersonics,” the Oklahoma City Thunder. Think of tonight as a 48-minute trailer for our playoffs blockbuster.
