I'm on a roll here with blog posts so thought I'd end on a music one. I pulled up an old playlist on my iPod and thought I'd post some tracks from that. These are some of my faves. First is a remix of a LAZRtag song. LAZRtag is composed of two dudes from LA woo woo. LUVTEK is part one and he is totally rad, fun, and only like 22. Part two is StellarDRV who I know nothing about. DJ Barletta the remixer, is also worth checking out. By the [...]
The Presets are rad. I've posted about them before although the link is probably dead now. I thought this video for "If I Know You" was neat. Its also shot in LA which is cool. And who doesn't like dancing? I REALLY want to go to the ballet sometime. I mean its right down the street.
Let me start with SpaceCollective . I'll just quote their welcome statement to give a sense of what sort of content is on this site. " SpaceCollective. Where forward thinking terrestrials exchange ideas and information about the state of the species, their planet and the universe, living the lives of science fiction today." The UI design for this site is lovely. I adore it. Lots of information displayed in an organized, understandable way. Interesting videos, blog posts, people. Not to mention, the orb of awesomeness that exists on the landing page. Check it Out. For Serious. [...]
In case you haven't seen this yet, this is the new video for the new Röyksopp song, Happy Up Here. SO great. This video fits the song perfectly. Super stylish. Space Invaders? Yes. Röyksopp can do not wrong in my opinion. Also came across this track off a B-Side which has been on repeat. Love. I'm ready for the new album. I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready! MP3: Röyksopp - A Quiet Life
Been listening to both old and new stuff these days. In with the old, in with the new, is what I say. So I'm really excited for the new Phoenix album which comes out May 25th, and is really far away which is lame. Anywho their site is a nice little teaser, and I'm loving the load animation. Also they seem to be quite tech savvy with their blog, twitter, and facebook links. Impressive. I also came across an oldie but a goodie, Bumblebee Unlimited's Love Bug off Annie 's DJ Kicks from 2005. Annie's site is [...]
I absolutely adore this video. You can probably guess one of the reasons why. I hope you enjoy it too. Let me take this opportunity to also gush over how awesome Vimeo is. Great design, great content, and a great staff. This would hands down, be my dream company to work for. I hope to someday upload some videos to this site, but for now, tuning in to watch awesome videos will suffice.
It has been hard to come to terms with the fact that a dear friend, James Nguyen is no longer with us. I worked with James for two years at Piczo. I didnt really get to know him until he asked me to do a freelance project for him, which I was more than happy to do. We got to know each other and began talking online daily. His usual greeting was "KARI!!!" in which i would respond, "JAMES!!", or "JAMEZ" a term that was later coined. Talking to him became a routine and is something that I am going [...]
So i came across the COOLEST way to experience news. The Spectra Visual Newsreader lets you create your own channel consisting of topics that interest you. Its seems like it could get complicated really fast but its suprisingly user-friendly. Its a fun, visual way to get your news.
I have been playing Damn Arms for weeks now. This duo hailing from Melbourne, Australia is rad. Yama Indra and Tim Sullivan are also buddies with Cut Copy , one of my favorite bands of all time. These two bands have both toured together and I hope to see Damn Arms at some point. I have included a couple tracks and a mix from Dan of Cut Copy which is just SUPER. Enjoy. MP3: Damn Arms - Destination Pt. II MP3: Dan from Cut [...]
As we all know, Barack ( we are totally on a first name basis) is now our President which I think is such a wonderful thing. Directing team Gold put together this adorable video to the sounds of Adam Freeland's remix of Daft Punk's "Aerodynamic". Its pretty much amazing, in multiple ways.
So I'm back! I thought I'd start out with a design post. This sweet image comes from Duoh! , an awesome design/web company from Belgium. Duoh! consists of Veerle Pieters, a graphic/web designer and Geert Leyseele, the boyfriend/project manager. I was gitty when I came across their site and immediately downloaded some wallpaper for my laptop. I suggest you do the same.
Thanks to a friend I have been floored by the music of PRIVATE. You know its good when you are hooked without even listening to the first track all the way through. I just got my hands on the CD today and Thomas Troelsen (the leader singer, also producer for Junior Senior) gives lots of [...]
Just finished my first Jay's Cheesesteak. Smelled better than it tasted unfortunately. Anywho have been listening to a lot of Presets recently. More specifically their track, A New Sky. Kinda has a gregorian chant sound workin for it, which I dig. Looking forward to seeing them soon. MP3: The Presets - A New Sky [...]
How adorable is this monster? I want to hang out with him. Rad. Anywho he is by this University Student/Freelance Illustrator from Finland, Tervaja. I was surfing Piczo and came across this girl's site that had some of his work up. At least SOME Piczo kids aren't into the Playboy bunny and sparkly hearts. Here [...]
So this isn't my official first post. I just wrote this lovely, heart-felt first post, and then my house went black (IE the power went out) I was lighting candles and everything all by myself on a Friday night like the cool kid I am and then the light returned...Anywho I have created this blog [...]
