Portals is a new effort by sixteen primer, indie music bloggers. With a focus on a ‘DIT’ (do-it-together) mentality, it seems like the site will be covering a wide range of music, giving independent artists some deserved shine. 

Portals launched in January. Check out their first mixtape here, featuring the track above “I Long For You”, by one of my personal favorite musicians, Ra Cailum. The guy murders the sample to make a clouded, thundering diva track.

City Guide - San Francisco

Comstock Saloon

This historic watering hole has been operation since 1907. I discovered this San Francisco landmark while wandering around on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Stopping in for a bite to eat, I was pleased to find a reasonably priced bar and dinner menu. I highly recommend the battered cod fish and potato fritters and enjoying one of their signature cocktails.

An extremely beautiful experimentation with light, sound and design.

It’s collaborative effort between Chinese artists Wang Furui, CuiQin Xiang, Jang Young-dal, Yeting Hao, Wang Shibang and Liao Guanting. The piece explores digital technology through building shape and sound with the surrounding public buildings and landscape. A virtual interface illuminates the architecture to construct a boundary that continuously manifests and disappears.
