Double Feature

The Amazing Beirut has left the France of The Flying Club Cup for a pair of EPs released  yesterday.  The first EP is entitled The March of the Zapotec and was recorded in Mexico while the second was recorded in and is entitled Holland. From what I have heard so far it is amazing and lives up to what we all love.

President Obama

History was made today as Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States and first African American President. It has shown a dynamic change of acceptance in the United States.  It was a brief thirty years ago that the African-American race even began to be accepted as equal in this country.  Now this country has elected a President that is African-American. All are interested to see the "Change" that will occur during President Obama's term.

Here is some Obama inspired artwork:

 

Ocean Without a Shore

This is an amazing performance/video art done by the amazing Bill Viola. It was showcased in Venice. Very creative ideas and technology. 

New Layout!

In celebration of our year anniversary of this blog being established, I decided to give it a makeover. Enjoy!

Help!

If you haven't seen the amazing Motion Picture "Help!" starring the Beatles, you need to immediately. It is one of the most well done/ridiculous films in history released in 1965. Basically it is a very long music video with a compilation of numbers from the "Help!" album.  It is an amazing chance for those of us that missed "Beatle-mania" to really get to know the Beatles. I recently watched it again and renewed my love and appreciation for these Mop-Tops! One fun fact that some of you might not know, This blog's name is based off lyrics from the song "Help!"

Ben and Zooey

The most amazing thing happened! Two of the greatest individuals on the planet got engaged: Ben Gibbard from the bodacious band, Death Cab for Cutie and Zooey Deschanel the actress in movies such as Elf and singer in the group, She & Him.  They are such wonderful people and it is awesome that they are coming together. They better make some beautiful music together. Congratulations!

Engagement photos . . . with balloons

i saw these lovely photos linked from another blog,

And i knew that I needed to put them up . . . they are rather lovely and clever.
i know we've discussed the idea of props, and the singular prop is very well utilized.
i also like the unique location-the photos look very fun, yet capture the essence of who the couple is . . . which is the point right?
Plus, the side by sides are really nice. They're similar enough to allow for some consistency and parallelism, yet each captures a different aspect of the two.
Ta-da! I hope you enjoy this couple's very clever, unique, yet digestable shoot.
