A quick glance at the Billboard charts suggest that Carly Rae Jepson (click if you dare) and Gotye are the queen and king of the commercial airwaves this summer.
We're convening a panel of Oregon music experts to take us through their summer favorites. The Portland bands that seem to be dominating so far are the shimmery, danceable Onuinu and the summer-vacation-without-leaving-home-sound of Pure Bathing Culture. The national act that seems to be leading the informal poll is Frank Ocean's soulful new album.

- King Tuff: "Anthem" from King Tuff
