Radere, Chihei Hatakeyama, m83

A few ambient picks for today to help you ease through the summer heat, making you feel like you’re already home (if you’re at work) hanging out in your yard, the air cooling as the last rays of sunlet glimmer through cracks in the treeline above.  I usually like to post up 4 picks, but […]


Longwave, Deerhunter, Natalie Portman, Faunts

A little indie rock and pop never hurt anybody right?  Here are some tunes I came across recently to give you a reason to wear your shades and rock out. First up is Longwave, with a tune that indie fundamentalists might dismiss as cliche or poorly written, but that I’ll go ahead and say kicks […]


Culprit Tech: The mind of Matt Pattinson

I came across this on Sci-fi-o-rama, one of my favorite blogs for visual imagery to stimulate the imagination.  Looking back at past depictions of the future is pretty interesting, I took a course in science fiction literature when I was at Pitt, and we looked at this idea in detail.  There is a wonderful sub-section […]


Spotlight on Miles Davis

In celebration of the birthday of Miles Davis, I’ve done a special post of a few of my top 5 favorite picks from his catalog.  I got into Miles Davis a little late, but I always had an appreciation for Jazz.  Philadelphia’s 90.1FM has the most amazing Jazz programming on week nights, you can catch […]


A few more gigs, a few more gig posters


Themostimportantvideoyoumayeverwatchreally

themostimportantvideoyoumayeverwatchreally from prettydamnnotbad on Vimeo. This is awesome…just watch or play in the background.  Machinedrum and Prettydamnnotbad have a video mix that is just too cool for words…except for maybe the words totally tubular.  It’s like watching the growing up portion of your life flashing before your eyes.  Some awesome mashup mixwork by both parties, […]


Fleet Foxes, Iron & Wine, The Shins, Andy McKee

Today, we shall allow ourselves to be guided by the sweet sounds of guitars tinted by folk and indie rock hues that immerse and spark emotion and memory.  There is so much music out there, it seems like listeners are presented with the daunting task of choosing a bunch of musical tastes and pursuing them […]


Wayfarer’s Edition: Printed

Picked up a handful of the Wayfarer’s Edition from Jakub last week, it’s a catalog flyer created for the first half of 2009’s releases.  I must say I’m very happy with the printed product– we opted for a nice, heavy stock and a seldom-seen matte finish, it gives the flyer a classic look, gripping your […]

Squarepusher, Modeselektor, Telefon Tel Aviv, Air

A bunch of electronic tunes covering a medium range of scenarios  from the past 8 years today.  I was scanning through my library trying to build up a few playlists and came across each of these tracks. I originally intended to post a classic old Squarepusher track called Red Hot Car, but the file I […]
