I grew up with no MTV or Soul Train allowed in the house. The next door neighbor girls, with their copies of Tiger Beat magazine, were a major influence on my appreciation for Pop Culture. I used to kiss the NKOTB centerfolds in their bedrooms and its b/c of them that I fell in love with Jason Bateman and Kirk Cameron at age 10. It was also with these girls that I had the opportunity to show off my mad rollerskatin skills in the magical land of Skateland USA. On Saturday Evenings we would sit for hours afterward and talk about the boys we couple-skated with and who touched our hands during the boys’ skate where we would line up along the wall with our arms outstretched, waiting to get picked.

What does this have to do with anything? I wax nostalgic! Its half the reason I fall in love with music in the first place…. but this time, Logan Lynn has taken me to a fantastic version of a roller skating rink on acid, where laser light beams are bouncing off the walls and pulsing through a trippy landscape of fog and neon. And I love him for it.

Portland Oregon is puttin out copious amounts of awesomeness, but nothing hit my ears like the electronic trippiness of the sneak peeks for the upcoming album From Pillar to Post (set to release in the fall of 09). Admirable lyricism is a must on my list and Logan Lynn doesn’t fail to deliver. His electronic pop music is brimming with what Dan and I deemed “Synthcerity”.

Hope you love!

PS. Don’t miss the hilarity of kitschy radness that is this video for “Come Home” from the 2006 self titled album.
