Portland Oregon

Portland Oregon is an awesome city. I visited it on my most recent road trip and absolutely enjoyed it. Because I told the story of my trip on some earlier posts, I won't repeat too much but instead post some photos and a couple of highlights of the place.

Death Cab for Cutie Videos

Death Cab for Cuties has some of the most innovative and creative music videos I have ever seen. My little niece Dara who is only 3 and a half years old, loves them too. We spent a good amount of time on the internet yesterday while she played DJ and requested songs. Good taste runs in the family =)
I'm also excited that Death Cab will also be playing in both LA and New Orleans in August. Hopefully, I will be able to catch one of their shows!

New Music!

One of my favorite things about traveling around the country is hearing new music. While pop music is pretty consistent, a lot of rap and alternative rock music differs from city to city. Here are a few of my new favorites:
