Costa Rica

I will be gone the next two weeks on an adventurous journey with my lovely lady to the fabulous country of Costa Rica. Needless to say, I've been getting in the mood lately. I will try to blog/write/share with you our amazing times. For now listen to these and look at this picture:

Bumbershoot 2012

Congrats to DtttC! & Kate for holding it down for OFS this year.

Truckasauras Rooftop

"Dingus and the Buttf***s" Live at the Lo-Fi, Seattle WA from sauco on Vimeo.

Over the summer Octopus Fest happened at LoFi, Black Lodge, and Victory. An all day music festival that I was lucky enough to be a part of. This video is a gorgeous interpretation of what happened that early evening. Truckasauras was rocking out on LoFi's rooftop at dawn as the sun was setting behind the Needle. I just finally got to see the video and I must say I was very thankful to be DJing all night after this set. I didn't want to help unload gear down that treacherous ladder hole in the roof! I would have broke one of their many many pieces of gear. I want to play on a roof!

POB for Le Mellotron

Prince Of Ballard has been putting me onto lots of great music lately and I truly commend him for putting out feel good mixes. All of this is just the perfect recipe for me grooving alone working on posters, vibing with my chick, smoking weed, or having a nice little get together. POB has style, a lot more than most of you could ever conjure up. He might be most notable as of late for pumpkin carving, but for me it's all about the mixtapes he drops. I love when you can hear how knowledgeable a DJ is. I even love it more when those favorite songs of theirs are intertwined with their personal edits. This one was for some Frenchy blog Le Mellotron and has lots of worldly grooves on it. Le Mellotron indeed.

The Physics Vids

2 new videos from The Physics came out last week. One Delusions Of Grandeur is great little animation video that has me reminiscing about Bebe's Kids. The latter is a tribute to bus route 106. Riding through the south end and a nice video paying homage to our City. The vibes are perfect for this continued indian summer.

Goodbye Summer

Hello sweaters.

Thig Natural @ Pinky's UP

One of the freshest brothers on the block, Thig Natural aka The Brooks Brother will be playing his favorite jams this week for Pinky's Up. With the release of The Physics new record, come have a drink with him and I as we celebrate being awesome. Summer is getting close to being over, ugh I know!, and we must soak up the sun as much as possible. I for one am drinking a few mojitos and playing some slow jams this week. Well, that and maybe some rap music. No, better yet I will just play Katie Kate's entire new record on loop. Perfect!

dj100proof - BBQ vol 5

The BBQ returns!! Too bad the summer has not! I've been waiting for a real decent day to blog this. A day in which you are sitting back on a (p)rooftop looking out over a gorgeous view of the Emerald City. Your lady in short shorts sits on your arm, margarita in hand extra salted rim, of course. Friends slowly join your backyard and dead animals that have been marinating for days get thrown toward a scorching bed of red, crisp, pillowy coals. It's just another day in the neighborhood in this glorious time of year we call summer. Hundy definitely plays it up on this mix and my only complaint is I wish he had more Proof edits.

Ridiculous Pool

"The D*Face spray paint skateboard interface. What better way to paint the pool then letting everyone get involved? With high-tech remotely controlled spray can apparatus mounted to the underside of skateboards...every line a skater took became the paint job of the pool. The year of planning is because of the complexity of making the tech remote control spray can apparatus."

Happy 4th!

Some songs about America.

Captain Blacks 2 Years at Sea

It's another glorious afternoon on The Hill and you simply need a place to relax without all the added bullshit. A bartender pours you an exaggerated shot of whiskey and cracks open a canned Hamm's. Consume. Have another. A piece of chicken is battered and propelled into a deep fryer as the air in the room fills with a rich maple aroma. Your lips smack together as Iggy and The Stooges "Search and Destroy" blares through the speaker. It is at perfect volume. Just loud enough to talk close to your lady, but not too loud to distract you from the playoff game.

Everything is perfect. But, no really, everything is perfect for everyone. The differences and similarities of patrons are all somehow embraced. It's one big happy family and the interior of the ship is where we sit. Our livers work tirelessly together to keep the boat afloat. The sea captain enters, sheds off his silver aviators and hands you a shot of good tequila. Follows it up with whiskey and gravy. You warm up with genuine camaraderie as another birthday is celebrated spinning your head around that sweet 7 inch of classic soul music. Some poor life choices are definitely among us and they are going to be some of the best decisions we've ever made.

Thank you, Captain Blacks. Cheers to many more!

Prince Of Ballard - Poolside in Palm Springs

POB just put out this new mix to nurse your hangover too. It instantly makes me want to walk down to the water, take my shoes off, put an umbrella in my drink, smoke a joint and then relax.
