Sleep Good - X

posted August 20, 2015 #

I'm very proud to announce that the first track from Sleep Good's Dream Dealer album (the one I am releasing at the end of the month) now has an official video. "X" was directed, shot and edited by Tomas Vengris (Terrence Malick, Lena Dunham) and features a load of beautiful imagery shot through alternative lenses and natural effects to evoke a feeling of summery bliss. Maybe that's the artful oversell but it's a lot of pretty images paired with a wonderful song.

Please watch it and spread the word if you don't mind.

Project Sunroof

posted August 20, 2015 #

It's only available in San Francisco and the Greater Boston area but Google's Project Sunroof is a pretty fascinating piece of tech. You enter your address, Google's robot hordes analyze their satellite sunlight data and decide if it's worthwhile for you to install solar panels on your place and then surface the savings you would find if you did so. I always wanted panels on my house in TN but the cost per panel was ludicrous, maybe this kind of attention to savings will help to drive the price down and we can finally have them be standard with every home.

Fastbreak Breakfast Retrospective

posted August 20, 2015 #

My good friend Keith runs a basketball podcast called Fastbreak Breakfast that covers a lot of ground that I have absolutely zero insight into. I know so little about the sport of basketball that 90% of the show is complete gibberish to me. However, the remaining 10% consists of the three hosts discussing their breakfasts, a topic I know much about.

I mention this because A) it's funny regardless of how informed you are on the subjects at hand and B) they've just released a Breakfast Retrospective Episode in which they review all of host Chuck Anderson's early meals through their season. It is mortifying to hear the horrible things that this individual eats but made up for by the onslaught of mockery he receives.

Long story short, listen to this, it's an amusing piece of work.

The Stenberg Brothers

posted August 18, 2015 #

Soviet era posters always have such a striking look to them through their combination of simple shapes, limited color palettes and, typically, a bit of movement. This massive gallery of movie posters from the Stenberg brothers, Vladimir and Georgii, are some of the finest examples I've seen in some time. Aside from the incredible gallery, there's also a rather lengthy interview with Vladimir about his history with the art and the whole scene from the early 1900's.
