I Killed Tomorrow Yesterday

"I Killed Tomorrow Yesterday" was the follow-up to Logan Lynn's 2009 critically acclaimed, major label release "From Pillar To Post". Produced by Bryan Cecil and released on Lynn's label,^[1] Logan Lynn Music, the record was the first official release by Lynn after leaving The Dandy Warhols-owned and operated Beat the World Records, a Caroline Records / EMI 3rd party label.^[2] 100% of the first year of proceeds from the record went to benefit the programs and services of Q Center, which operates both the LGBTQ Community Center and the Sexual & Gender Minority Youth Resource Center (SMYRC) in Portland.^[3]

The record was named Album of the Year in 2010 by QPDX, Just Out and other media outlets. Out Magazine wrote “Logan Lynn’s emo-disco-pop blend has already made him a hit with gay guys who like to hear their lives — from the highs to the lows — set to music. His ability to capture melancholy and melody is really no surprise, given that the grandmother who taught him about music also taught a similarly emotional man, Johnny Cash.” in an interview with Lynn.

In June 2011, Lynn's “Quickly As We Pass” video premiered on Logo and MTV to rave reviews^[4] in the press.^[5] The video was directed by Jeffrey McHale and produced by Logan Lynn Music. It featured a series of animated, life-size, cardboard cutouts throughout. Because of the nudity in the video, Logo, MTV^[6] and VH1^[7] rejected the first three versions of the video. A black bar-edited, censored version^[8] would appear on those outlets instead. Writing for Windy City Times, David Byrne called it "forward-thinking Imogen Heap mentoring a DIY artist with the hipster sound stemming from Brooklyn. The end product would be 'Quickly As We Pass'...the song is very catchy."^[4]
