Black Lips at Wonder Ballroom

Josh Bis is way cooler than me because he made it to the Black Lips show last weekend at MFNW. Of course, I missed out on the spitting and stage diving. Lame. Here are a couple of photos that he shot for lineout.thestranger.com. Have a look at more of Josh's photos on his site sciencevsromance.net. (You should. He's got good stuff.)

Glad that I listened, because these guys both put on a solid live show and were super cool. Cheap Girls are

Wiz Khalifa's Custom Vans

Crazy serendipitous time. As promised, I'm here in Portland for MFNW, but back up to getting off the plane.

The set up is a little like CMJ and a little like SXSW in that you walk from venue to venue. It's not all in one spot. There are official shows and non-official ones happening throughout the city. About 100 of the best bands currently touring will be there. Here
