(I regret to inform you that of this week Big Mario’s has raised the price of 40oz OE to $8.00 from $5.00, which was not stated here. -SC)
Portland’s R.S. Delucco has new work over at his blog. I am particularly excited about the 3 additions to Clipse-inspired ‘Keys Open Doors’ series that I ordered prints from back in March. Ricky will be releasing the full series in collaboration with Straight Crushing over @ Catalyst Gallery in December, keep an ear out for details!

More from PDX, the Straight Crushing reviewed Archers was featured on Pitchfork’s Altered Zones this week. Apparently it was a good week, pRIMORDIAL sOUNDS also had this to say about their 7″:
‘The best parts of the 90s are back, and that couldn’t be more evident than on Archers debut 7″. “Brussels Truffles” sounds the way you wish every STP song sounded; torn up and relentless guitars paired with driving bass lines and pounding drums that might as well be punching you in the face. Throw in some time trickery for good measure and the result is some seriously catchy tunes that beg for repeat listens. But whats best about Archers is how fucking psyched they seem to be playing these tunes. This record is destined to have people pounding on their steering wheels and speeding on the highway for years to come.’
Big ups to Portland!
