After posting the item below, felt the need to post an original SB to pay the proper respects.

If Star Wars was filmed two decades earlier and Saul Bass did the opening title sequence, it “might” look like this…This was part of a school project. The song is “Machine” by the Buddy Rich Band off the album Big Swing Face (1967).

YWFT America’s playlist as follows:


The Raveonettes
Lust Lust Lust
I heard the Raveonettes late one night when some music channel had those shows where they would play new videos by upcoming artists. Would have been in 2003 and the video was for “Attack of the Ghost Riders” I really think they are amazing. This album is no exception.

Beach HouseDevotion
Their new lp is dang good, kinda want to say it’s better than their last, I could be wrong.

Fleet FoxesSun Giant EP
Travis suggested this EP one day. Think its has that spirit of the Beach Boys. Unexpected.

The Nostalgia 77 Octet “Weapons of Jazz Destruction
Amazing group. They can do no wrong in my eyes. I buy almost everything they do. If you are into real jazz, you should check this.

Build an ArkDawn
I was so happy when I heard this was coming out. Even happier when I heard it. Spiritual Jazz today? Yep. It’s good and very real. My personal favorite right now. Carlos Nino for president.

Erykah BaduNew Amerykah Part 1
can’t decide if it is her best or not. It’s dang good. You can never beat her “Green Eyes” track on “Mama’s Gun” but this lp is essential if you are into her at all.

Maybe this can help freshen your day up.

Hjalti Karlsson and Jan Wilker, aka Karlsson Wilker, were shipped to Africa by the Design Indaba conference. They had them create a new piece of work each day in reaction to their travels. Creative Review has the story.

Cut and Paste is hosting “See What’s Possible.” Looks like $20,000 prize, not at all chump change. Anyway, thought you may want to check it out and take a shot at it.

magfields.jpgThe 1301 fluorescent tubes are powered only by the electric fields generated by overhead powerlines. Richard Box, artist-in-residence at Bristol University’s physics department, got the idea for the installation after a chance conversation with a friend. ‘He was telling me he used to play with a fluorescent tube under the pylons by his house,’ says Box. ‘He said it lit up like a light sabre.’ Box decided to see if he could fill a field with tubes lit by powerlines. After a few weeks hunting for a site, he found a field, slipped the local farmer £200 and planted 3,600 square metres with tubes collected from hospitals. A fluorescent tube glows when an electrical voltage is set up across it. The electric field set up inside the tube excites atoms of mercury gas, making them emit ultraviolet light. This invisible light strikes the phosphor coating on the glass tube, making it glow. Because powerlines are typically 400,000 volts, and Earth is at an electrical potential voltage of zero volts, pylons create electric fields between the cables they carry and the ground. Box denies that he aimed to draw attention to the potential dangers of powerlines, ‘For me, it was just the amazement of taking something that’s invisible and making it visible,’ he says. ‘When it worked, I thought: ‘This is amazing.’’
