Scott Bradlee

It occurs to me by now, I should have an "internet: the book" shelf.

Primarily autobiography, with advice sprinkled throughout for aspiring artists/life lessons and general, Scott Bradlee describes how he went from fun, weird mashup projects to filming a viral video in his basement that eventually became a creative collective. Initially, I was a bit worried this might turn into a self-helpy kind of thing like Alexis Ohanian's [b:Without Their Permission: How the 21st Century Will Be Made, Not Managed|17333428|Without Their Permission How the 21st Century Will Be Made, Not Managed|Alexis Ohanian|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1370840494s/17333428.jpg|24064755], but Outside the Jukebox leans far more on the biographical side. Great for any PMJ fans to see behind the scenes (especially the period when Robyn left and when they started rotating in more people).

I've also seen them twice live, both times at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland- the first time with Scott Bradlee as bandleader, and more recently with hat-dude-whose-name-escapes-me- they put on a fantastic show and well worth going to one, especially if you're a fan of their YouTube vids.

Also, pay your bills/rent, folks. Ignoring the phone doesn't make them magically go away.… (meer)
