showing some love corner

About 7yrs and I'm still floored. Not only is Tod one of the most amazing photographers I know, but he is also one of the most selfless and kind individuals I have had the pleasure of being friends with. No really. One of the few people that will let me ask a million questions (ones I'm positive he gets on the regular), and still answers each one in depth and with a sparkle in his eye. This guy lives like every day is the first day of summer. They just don't make them like this anymore.

showing some love corner

I've known Niles for about 5 yrs, maybe even more. Met him one chilly March afternoon at Michigan fest. He drove all the way up from Bama in his lil Honda and the moment we met it was like I had met a new girlfriend... or something . Niles is one of the sweetest most caring individuals AND talented as hell!
So I thought I would do a little wrap up of bands that he's been in; because I feel the world needs to enjoy the musical love that spews forth from this Portland tiger.

First up is Gianculli (currently on hiatus)-- he and a coworker decided to venture into the Hall and Oates, Michael Mcdonald majestic cave of auditory back rubs. Have a listen and be prepared to have your shoulders relax and your butt melt:

The next jawn that he currently has on lock down is NOEL. He and his roommate Joel decided to start a rap duo that is nothing short of brilliant. I believe it all came about because of a stray cat that came around their house, so they decided to raise funds for medicine by rappin' to help save the kitty. After that, the hits just wrote themselves:
