Album

Main article: Logan Lynn

In 2005 Lynn re-released his debut, Glee (Logan Lynn album), and immediately found an audience among fans of The Postal Service.[3] During this time Lynn also reworked songs from GLEE along with new material of a darker, indie electropop sound and released his sophomore studio album, Logan Lynn, in 2006. The songs "Come Home" and "Burning Your Glory" were instant standouts when Lynn began a following of over 150,000 fans on MySpace that same year. This led to playing in front of 400,000 people at the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco with The Presets, Bob Mould and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult.[4] Singles from this record included "Ring Around", "Come Home" and "Show Me The World".

Commercial Use

In 2007, filmmaker Mark Jerako used Lynn's "Show Me The World" on the official soundtrack for his feature-length film "Feeble In Fuchsia", about the life and times of a character named "Precious Hottest She-Male". The film, and music video for the song, starred Brendon M. of Portland drag terrorist group Sissyboy.[5]

Music Videos

Official music videos were released for all three singles over the course of 2006. The "Ring Around" video was directed by Dani Hunter and featured a drugged-out Lynn sketching out all over Portland. The director of photography was Galvin Collins. The editor/cameraman was Chris Davis, with makeup by Patty Kovach.[6] The "Come Home" video was directed by Rebecca Micciche and featured Lynn in his NW Portland condo alongside actors cast in the role of his family members. This video also featured costuming by Emmy Award-winning stylist/designer Amanda Needham (Portlandia).[7] The "Show Me The World" video was directed by Mark Jerako and featured scenes of Lynn and Producer Carlos Cortes's live performance at Rotture in Portland earlier that year mixed with scenes of Lynn smoking cigarettes and scenes from Jerako's film, "Feeble in Fuchsia".
