]]> Here’s what I have piped into my ear canals of late…
  • Trenches: The Tide Will Swallow Us Whole
    Can’t stop listening to this. On one level, it’s like Zao meets Pink Floyd; on another, it’s like nothing I’ve heard before. Wish I could create visual art this fresh and personal.
  • Misery Signals: Controller
    My vote for one of the best metal albums of all time. So good on so many levels.
  • Morrissey: Who Put the “M” in Manchester?
    A mature Morrissey delivers his signature drama and teenage angst amidst a truly unique and musically sophisticated sound.
  • Bruce Hornsby and Friends
    Not much needs to be said about Bruce Hornsby. A virtuous musician with the creativity and musical background to execute inspired improvisation.
  • Phish: Walnut Creek (live)
    Another group of improvisational giants, Phish proves that unfettered creativity mixed with technical “chops” can create surprising and magical moments. Great stuff.

OK. Here’s what’s cool in my world this week…

  • Mars Hill Church web site
    Beautiful design. Excellent platform for communication. I don’t think I’ve seen any better example of integrating various media. Also check out the Resurgence.
  • New album on the way from the Chariot
    I confess I am tantalized by this video trailer from “Wars and Rumors of Wars”. A stroke of marketing genius: pre-order the album and get a free bottle of hot sauce.
  • Monsters vs. Aliens
    Anxious to see this movie. The trailer looks hilarious.
  • Disneyland
    Just returned from another visit to the happiest place on earth. Learned a lot about staging, drama, lighting and storytelling – all important design considerations. Also having much respect for Walt Disney, the consummate Creative Director. The man had an uncanny imagination and the ability to simply know what would make something better creatively.
  • Axe Men
    Maybe I love this show partly because logging runs deep in my family. I’m also really stoked on the intro graphics. Really tasty 2D animation with lots of drama.
