Levi’s®/FADER Fort Video: YACHT
- story THE FADER
Recently overheard from the mouth of some dude wandering the labyrinthine halls of the Levi’s®/FADER Fort: “I tried to interview YACHT, but I hit a wall because I’ve been drinking Sparks!” True, both libations and Q&A opportunities are flowing here in Austin, but YACHT’s day-ending set reminded us what this shit is really about: WILD DANCE MOVES. Jona and Claire got loose onstage with some jazzercize contortions, some mic-twirling, some epileptic floor-humping, even a little voguing. “You can live any way you want!” they shouted into the Texas twilight – good advice for the rest of the week and the rest of our lives.
BREAKING! YACHT Done Moved Himself To Texas
- story THE FADER
Forget No Country and that movie about milkshakes, this is the real story of power, greed and dirt in the American Southwest. Also, Marfa has the best radio station, and if you’re driving I-10 from El Paso to San Antonio you can totally pick it up. Or you can just listen here and pretend you’re playing dress-up with Jona and Claire.
AirMail: Someone Other Than Jobs Is About To Cake Up
- story THE FADER
The FADER has long supported Portland wunderkinds Jona Bechtolt and Claire Evans whenever their muses strike, be it awesome music or killer writings, but their latest idea is probably going to make them rich and famous and therefore out of our league. After watching Steve Jobs’ keynote at MacWorld, in which he introduced the crazily slim MacBook Air, the duo created an upholstery-grade vinyl, fleece-lined carrying case for it that looks exactly like the manila folder from the Air’s commercial. So, after you nerds order your Air, go get your AirMail for another measly 30 bones.
FADER/Southern Comfort 7″ Series #3: Magnificent Seven
- story THE FADER
Artwork by Andrew Jeffrey Wright
It’s that time again: team FADER got with Southern Comfort to color your world with a new limited edition FADER/Southern Comfort 7″. ATL faves Black Lips stunned us with their Twilite Zoned intro to “Wild Man” on side a, and P-town fave YACHT succinctly spelled out his “No Favors Policy” on the b-side (think grunge, folks!). Philly artist Andrew Jeffrey Wright designed a wavy gravy illustration to bring it all home. Sensory overload—and more proof that we love you! We have a handful to give away to lucky blog readers, just email contests@thefader.com, put “seven” in the subject line somewhere, and we’ll select winners at random.
