The Magic Number

Three is no longer the magic number. It is now 700BILLION!

I can't even fathom that number, it is incomprehensible to me.

The Vael Project

I stumbled on this website, and from what I understand it's the same group of designers that used to be Medium before they were bought/sold out. I definitely get the same feel from this collection, It's very simple and material interest based. I love the concepts.

This is where my head is...

Another Way To Die

A Jack White and Alicia Keys duet doesn't seem like anything I'd have interest in, but I listened anyway and was pleasantly surprised. From what I understand it was done for the James Bond Movie.

Give it a listen.

Another way to die

Like, What's the Problem?

I've touched on this in the past. I'm not sure I can put it into better words than this...

Loyalty to Loyalty Review

Yesterday I was a little harsh on Okkervil River, They put out a good album, but I was disappointed because I know how great it could have been. The Cold War Kids should show them how to follow up a great album with another great album. Loyalty to Loyalty is everything I hoped it would be and more. I found myself disoriented, flipping frantically through each track wondering if it would be as exciting and dynamic as the last. I don't think I could make it through 30 seconds of each song the first time through, as I itched in anticipation of the next song.

Loyalty to Loyalty feels like an extension of Robbers and Cowards as The National's album Boxer was to Alligator. The same theme is extended into L2L but the dynamic changes dramatically throughout the entire album. Where as I thought Robbers and Cowards was a bit flat, L2L definitely throws a crescendo on the Cold War Kids Discography

Literally every track on this album is excellent, so it's difficult to pick on track to share, but I did my best. Enjoy! You NEED to go out an buy this on 9/23!

Every Man I Fall For

The Stand Ins, Kind of...

I listened to new Okkervil River album several times. Each time I came back to it, I hoped that something would grab me, contrary to the previous spins. But each time brought the same result. I'd start the album and before I knew it, it was over. This wasn't because the album was short, but because it just played in the background. It was like static, just constant and unriveting.

I'd still call " The Stand Ins" good , but nothing like what I thought would follow the great "Stage Names"

There were a couple of tracks that stood out. "Lost coastline" which appears to be the single, and these two:
