Delicious musical contaminants
Neo-psychedelic garage rock has been done to death. It’s sorta lost its oomph, lost its lovin’ feeling … lost in translation, lost in space. Portland’s Bodhi—which I’m hoping is named after Patrick Swayze’s character in Point Break—is an exception. Sure, all the elements are there: Swirling synth, reverbed guitars and unhinged vocals, but the four
Black Friday: The Days of Thorr
Today’s the day. It was one year ago that Black Friday kicked off at The Days of Lore. Of course, the name was taken from that day people treat Best Buys and Wal-Marts like the front row of a Who concert just so they can snag Rock Band: The Beatles for three bucks.

As the band’s new video will attest. “Right the Relation” comes off Polvo’s latest record In Prism (Merge Records). You’ll find closeup string bends (my favorite part) and puke-y black pasta. Oh, and you’ll hea
