Fired Up! Ready to go!

Boy... when you're having a bad day... it's vital to remember the power of positive thought. Also... how about the power of beautiful animation!

Little Bubble

Hopefully this means we'll get a new Dirty Projectors album soon! Love this.

“Q: What is your definition of happiness?

A: A clear horizon — nothing to worry about on your plate, only things that are creative and not destructive… I can’t bear quarreling, I can’t bear feelings between people — I think hatred is wasted energy, and it’s all non-productive. I’m very sensitive — a sharp word, said by a person, say, who has a temper, if they’re close to me, hurts me for days. I know we’re only human, we do go in for these various emotions, call them negative emotions, but when all these are removed and you can look forward and the road is clear ahead, and now you’re going to create something — I think that’s as happy as I’ll ever want to be.

- Alfred Hitchcock”

The sounds that make up the songs and the overall beauty of the project’s music and structure make it a truly heart-breaking record. Instrumental Hip Hop music with a brand new generation’s voice behind the soundboard rooted in the classics. Chanes has Big Detroit Drums, and can turn old sounds back to the new again. Hitchcock telling you to look on the brighter side (“The Known”), and the also mighty SPEAKER SMASHING song, “PROS (NVLT)” are two highlights. If you’ve never heard Chanes before, this is a wonderful entry point." - The Reveew This marks his first cassette release. And it’s green.

Been waiting a while for this one to come out. Hopefully the game is good! I love the direction that indie games are taking these days! We need more art and storytelling more than ever.

These...are...AWESOME! I really need to explore the rest of this country. New York City is a lovely place, but there's so much else out there to see. Here are a few of my favorites. Check out the rest at Type Hike!

You Keep Your Name | All to Myself

The Dirty Projectors is one of my favorite bands. Completely unknown to me, the lead singer David Longstreth and lead guitarist Amber Coffman were dating. Apparently now they're not. They both released songs about break-up... at almost the exact same time. Pretty ruthless, yet sublime. These are both pretty heartbreaking.

Man... I can only imagine what it was like to be a Met in 1986. Seemed like a massive party the entire year. Things like this make the offseason a little more bearable. #lgm
