Some stuff I am working on...

A few renderings of a desk I designed and am now constructing for Peep Show, a London based Post-Production House with an office in New York (that's where I come in). Peep Show just moved to a new space in Chelsea and needed a couple editing desks, with surface room for 3 large monitors and a rack mount system set to the side (in the cube) and sized to hold a number of complicated and expensive machines. I do not know their exact purpose, however, I DO know their width, height and depth, and the rack dimensions needed to suspend each one on top of the next - anyways, enough carpenter's details. Here's the final computer renderings - signed, sealed & delivered.

EMPIRE of the SUN

I just plucked this track off of Misingtoof's tree of goodies. Wow, what a good song for, lets see... driving, smoking, drinking, late night drunk dancing, late night drunk drinking, late night drunk smoking, making out, rounding 2nd base & brunch!

Misingtoof says:

Empire Of The Sun is a collaborative project between PNAU’s Nick Littlemore and Luke Steele of The Sleepy Jackson. Steele’s vocals were recently featured on PNAU’s self titled album. Empire of the Sun’s debut which will be released this October is produced by Jonathan Sloan of Sneaky Sound System. Walking On A Dream is the first single.

I say just take a listen, to the original, and the Van She remix...not sure which I like more, but why choose?! They are both great.

The Twelves

So The Twelves are great. Let's just start with that.

The bloggers have been wetting their beds over these kids the past few days, so I figured I should do the same.

From Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, The Twelves were formed by the duo João Miguel and Luciano Oliveira back in 2006. The name came from the strange coincidence of their birth dates: twelve of July of 1980. So they're cancers, just like me. Even more rad.

Here's a mixtape they just released that has honestly provided me with some of my very best 38 minute 2 second moments this past week. It includes unreleased remixes they did for Zeigeist and The Virgins. If you ask me, its the best extended stretch of sound since LCD released 45:33.
