This may be old news for those in the loop more than I (namely Dylan), but I have been obsessing over the music of Yacht.

He is a producer and drummer from Portland, and what initially drew me to him was an awesome remix of Mirah’s “Make it Hot” that I listened to on repeat something like 15 times. He is also the man behind the beats of The Blow. The first thing I heard about him was that he was MIA during the most recent show of The Blow, where he was dissed for not wanting to make the three hour drive from Portland to Seattle to support the opening for Of Montreal.

Honestly, I don’t care about interband politics. All I care is that he makes some pretty interesting and awesome music. And on a whiny note, he is playing Chop Suey the same day that The Books are are Neumo’s. Dilemma, dilemma.
