Yet another affirmation of my decision to move to PDX.

“It’s unclear who did this or why?”

There is no why. Asking that question is like asking what is the nature of man or why the sun rises. Because they could. Because it was a good idea. Because a generation of latch key kids were raised by their NES’s.

Randomly encountered this video today, hooked me for some reason. Immi really loved this song and wanted me to play it over. Seems like a summer acoustic song.

Always Remember Me

by Ry Cuming (Feat. Sara Bareilles)

Two by two lovers stand on the beach in Santa Monica
Pretty eyes, long hair, smells so sweet like summer in the air

watch me as i fall
into the water calling
watch me as i sink
into the sea and always remember
me

Come back, back to me, back to where the mountains meet the sea
we’ll build a house of driftwood and keep it simple ’cause simple is good

watch me as i fall
into the water calling
watch me as i sink
into the sea and always remember
me

watch me as i fall
into the water calling
watch me as i sink
into the sea and always remember
me

Always Remember Me on VEVO

The best line/quotable from this song is:

“We’ll build a house of driftwood and keep it simple ’cause simple is good”

Keep it simple because simple is good – sounds like a new mantra to me

I still remember playing Oregon Trail computer game on the first computer I ever used, the Apple II at my elementary school. Love the creativity behind this one, parodying all of the parts of the game brought back some serious memories. Now that I live in Oregon it is even funnier.

The Deftones just released a new video for their new song called Diamond Eyes!

Deftones – Diamond Eyes (Official)

Deftones.com Check it out. New album will be coming out on 05.04.10 go get it.

Hardwood Software

My favorite artist of all time Vladimir Kush has a new website up for a new animation/film that he has recently put out. The new website that Vladimir has published is called Metaphorical Voyage. He is taking his art in a new direction by doing a film/animation collaboration to bring his paintings to life in a new medium.

Metaphorical Voyage

Vladimir Kush – Metaphorical Voyage from Meta Journey on Vimeo. I have to admit this looks pretty cool, music may be a little be over the top at times but virtually every trailer has cheesy music lately and the animation does look cool.

Moonlight Sonata

I am definitely going to have to pick up a DVD of this at some point this year. Been so busy as of late I haven’t even had time to check back in and see what my top artists and musicians have been creating.

Other Worlds

But apparently VK has been pretty busy because when I found discovered the new site I also stumbled across a whole slew of new pieces I have not seen before.

Sacred Bird of Yucatan

I think this new painting best describes the last six months of my life and my current mindset!

To The Top

Go check out Vladimir’s new project at http://www.metaphoricalvoyage.com/ it is bound to be something completely rad and awe-inspiring. His work just seems to always be getting better, there are very few people on earth who can create things this beautiful or amazing.

Treasure Island

Hopefully some treasure is coming our way very soon! I have been working really hard here launching all these new projects and ideas lately, bound to payoff sooner or later.

This is completely badass! Space Invaders is alive an well and coming to an office near you soon. Why do people do things like this? Because they can. Because somebody is willing to risk it all to make something beautiful happen.

Racing Lights by Stars of Track of Field

Too much love in you my dear,
I would sing, you would burst in tears, love.
Falling faster then oh my God,
I’ve seen inside a beating heart.
You see the stars burn out.

Racing lights, run for your life.
You scary lights won’t you shine.
For only me.

Caught me hanging on so long,
One deep breath and you’re all drown out, so
Be 17 forever with a tear in your eye.
I’ll sing you lullabies, I’ll sing you lullabies.

Won’t you shine down,
You said you could.
You knew you should
See the thoughts and breaking hearts,
And read between the lines.
I ask, If I might write to write your name in the sky,
If you want me I’m outside.
And I might like to wonder,
How you let yourself get pulled under with every breath you take.

Won’t you shine.
Won’t you shine.
Won’t you shine.

I like this alt rock cover of Lady G’s Bad Romance, Jared does it justice.

Hybridization of different instruments both human and traditional can lead to some pretty badass things. Like flutebox’n, most creative things I have seen so far this year. But it’s only March.
