All day long I design strict grid-based layouts – work I love. I’d been working so much that I’d completely fallen out of practice. I’ve been really missing the exploration and play of just mucking around with illustrator. This was one of those right place right time occasions. A place to create stuff just for the sake of doing it. Instead, it was a talk by three talented designers and illustrators about creating an online place for you to play. I thought it might have something to do with setting up your environment or some such thing. I had no idea what it was going to be about. The best panel I attented at sxsw was about creating a design playground.

The Skin of my Yellow Country Teeth / Clap Your Hands and Say YeahĪpply Some Pressure / Maxïmo Park Posted on MaCategories Blather 4 Comments on What I'm listening to. Upon This Tidal Wave Of Young Blood / Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah The Man Who Would Be King / The LibertinesĢ2: The Death Of All The Romance / The Dears To Be Myself Completely / Belle and Sebastian Sukie In The Graveyard / Belle and Sebastianįor The Price Of A Cup Of Tea / Belle and Sebastian It made all the best of 05 lists for a reason. “Spoon”: – Gimme Fiction: What James Bond would listen to today. Belle & Sebastian have become funk superstars, in a very Scottish way. We go from pure ear candy to more ear candy. As similar as Beth Orton’s new album is to her old, The Love Pursuit is the weirdest Belle & Sebastian album to date.

It’s my “what should I listen to next” backup. I was disappointed the first time through. This album is strongly in the vein of her early albums. I’ve been a fan or Orton’s since her early work (aren’t I cool?).

Which only goes to show that the british have fine taste in music. They’re the biggest selling band in Britain. Album spanning, minor key, piano, warm glow from the vacuum amp. “The Meligrove Band”: – Planets Conspire. I had no idea this was the band of that english guy who’s always getting busted for drugs. “The Libertines”: – The Libertines and Up The Bracket. I never actually graduated from high school. I’m so into Reunion a story of a drunken 10th high school reunion fling. Like The Dears, lush sounds, quirky singers, from Montreal. “Stars”:(link to a Pitchfork Media review) – Set Yourself on Fire. It’s my default “feel like listening to something but I don’t know what” album. Continuing to 4 for 4 on the quirky singer list. With seven albums and a handful of EPs on iTunes, I sense an orgy of excess coming up. I can’t begin to understand how I’ve made it so far in life without having listened to The Flaming Lips. “The Flaming Lip”: – Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots. Their site is a great representation of their music. Channeling Talking Heads and a drunken cowboy shaman, these guys play the most upbeat feel good indie pop lollipops. “Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah”: – Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah. It’s got great energy, great guitar driven melody, a quirky singer, and an awesome accent.
