Make a Circuit with Me - The Polecats

This song made me happy today.

On a side note, I'm so not loving blip.fm these days. What's up with their lack of songs? Either that, or I'm just really uncool.

The Weepies - Hideaway

I'm very much enjoying their latest album. It's funny how where you listen, can change the mood or experience. The first time I listened to it was at work, and maybe the stress and constant distraction didn't allow me to fully appreciate what I was listening to. While I thought it was pleasant, I had a feeling of boredom.

On second listen (a few weeks later) I was home and late in the evening.  I remember folding my laundry and really listening this time. Long gone were the stress of my desk and workplace. Fast asleep were both Tom and Jango, as I was alone in the living room. All of a sudden the music overcame me and finally I understood.

This album is beautiful. Enjoy these samples!

Song for Sully

My favorite part, when the host says, "I'm glad you survived".

Yeah. Duh.

Flip HD Mino sample videos on 3 sites

I recently purchased a Flip Mino HD and have uploaded videos to Flickr, Vimeo and YouTube. The first three videos are from a recent Adele concert (who I love). I would post more to Vimeo, but I haven't upgraded to the Pro account, limiting my posts to one a week. 

The Flip Mino HD did an okay job at the concert, though sadly it could't handle the heavy spotlight of Adele. I was surprised that the Audio sounded decent.

Finally, here's some daytime footage:

Thoughts on the Flip Mino HD? Which site would you use for uploading?

Here Comes the Rain Again - cover

What a pretty cover of the Eurythmics classic! The strings really elevate the "haunting" of the song. What do you think?

The Presidents by Jonathan Coulton

Do you know all the U.S. Presidents -- in order?

Jonathan Coulton's original version is slightly edited to reflect the recent election - yay! Thought this was appropriate to post since inauguration day is just around the corner.

It's funny, I remember right before the holidays a few of us at Revision3 tried to name all the Presidents. We put the names up on the white board in the conference room, and with maybe 6 of us trying we got 70% of the names. We certainly didn't get every president in order.

This was recorded last night at the Great American Music Hall, and while it was the second take it was a good one. Enjoy!

Music on repeat - Emiliana Torrini

I couldn't place it, but something about her voice reminded me of another singer. After reading her bio and learning of her Icelandic heritage, it totally hit me. Her singing reminds me of Bjork!

Other facts (from Wikipedia):
-she sings "Gollam Song" at the end of LOTR: The Two Towers
-she co-wrote a Kylie Minogue hit called "Slow"
-she was a member of Gus Gus
-She's toured with Moby, Sting, Dido, Travis, Trickey and Adem

I'm lovin' her latest album Me and Armini.

About

I'm based in the Bay Area and I make videos that either go on TV or the web. Currently, I work at Revision3.

I believe I am addicted to the internet.

I like dark chocolate, red wine, pop music, good food, my dog Jango and *shocking* some reality TV shows.

I will never apologize for these interests, or force you to like them too.

Hello world!
