Part VI: From Portland With Love
I e-mailed co-creator Jordan Strong of Portland's newest web show, Into The Woods, after finally watching what he promised to be excellent programming.Top Interview Series:yours was the best bit of the series.J.Strong:Well, expect more every week. And I have a hand in much more. I'll bevideographer in the next big show and then I do filming or direct allthe mini shows from here on out.TIS:la-di-da. good to hear! I have to be honest, not so sure about the band but the other stuff is progress.J.Strong:you didn't like Wampire?TIS:I like the shoegazey permanently whimsically miserable looking dude but the excited guy with the ‘stache reminds me too much of Josh Kennett. Ya know I’m devoid of any excitement in life, I just can’t relate with that jumpy dude.It’s undeniably well shot and there is a bottomless sense of unity within the group that is shown with a loving spoonful on screen. Although I don’t like the music and the ability to mark it as a hip**** infomercial is overwhelming. The apparent drunk energy created by PBR and a 5D is really a celibate sober virgin's devilmare, one massive build up to a massive orgy in the woods and I’m waiting to explode and its not just because of all the TUMBLR porn I’ve been looking at. This can be appealing to some. I’m too prude to handle it though, to be honest. And I’m way too deep in this thing now 2010. I’m crackin’ up over here like the Jesus and Mary Chain. You know how I know? Because when I make an obscure band reference like that, in my mind it’s like Jimmy Fallon making a joke about Avatar. I’m just that esoteric. The internet isn’t about making money. It’s about exploiting yourself as best as possible. That’s the biggest divide between our generation and the older than SEGA other.J.Strong:shattup champagne supernova.
