Kneebody

The beautiful crystalline structures that are found throughout nature are smashed into the saturated color and texture of the humanity-mural that is New York City... it's a food that I can't resist eating with the furor of a sex-starved 19 year old in a southern California high school...

Kneebody is refreshing, inspiring, and the music it creates points in an interesting... beautiful direction...

FakeSteveJobs


"DUDE, I INVENTED THE FRIGGIN IPHONE. HAVE YOU HEARD OF IT?"
I am a self-admitted Apple-geek, and for whatever reason I love technology news and the personalities that have formed around it.
"The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs" is a daily blog of satirical commentary on the dynamic tech industry and those personalities that move it forward.... and it happens to provides one of the many bricks in the wall that give me something to squash the otherwise productive hours of my days on earth..... rejoice!

...and oh yea, there's a Book too

TheBeatles - Love


U know the music.. and if you really know the recordings of the Beatles this is a clever mashup that will tickle all those "Beatles" synapses that you've been cultivating your whole life. Originally done for Cirque du Soleil, Love is a satisfying way to breath life into the Beatles catalogue and into your desire to hear it.

JesusCamp


Jesus Camp
..a film thats scares the hell out of me.

This documentary explores the world of the middle-America Evangelical Christians... as they raise their children inside the church, and essentially build a "faith"-based army.

Really a very well-done film that is enjoyable to watch and begs to become a "every time they say Jesus" drinking game!
.....join me.... in fear....

AniDifranco - Knuckle Down


Ani continues to evolve from album to album painting words and frequencies together into music that always leaves me feeling.... thats it.. thats enough... just... feeling...
feeling = living.

RadioLab - Musical Language


What is music? How does it work? Why does it move us? Why are some people better at it than others? RadioLab examines the line between language and music, how the brain processes sound, and meets a composer who uses computers to capture the musical DNA of dead composers in order to create new work. RadioLab also re-imagines the disastrous 1913 debut of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring…through the lens of modern neurology.

This and all of RadioLab's podcasts use superb storytelling and color-rich production to paint pictures on your eardrum and your brain.... worth a listen... or four...
