A fantastic cover from one of my favorite artists of this year: French singer Emily Loizeau covers Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams” at the Prix Constantin 2009.

Life-Altering Device of the Day: Sunghee Park’s “Health NUDGE” is a digital hall of mirrors designed to shame you into fitness by making you feel like lard-ass loser for even considering the gut-embiggening elevator over the tummy-shaping stairs.

As a person approaches this interactive signpost, a distorted figure of a fat person taking the elevator appears on one display, while the other one shows a fit and slim person taking the stairs. This passive measure is supposed to encourage people to keep healthy.

Up Next: Talking elevators that joke about being “over capacity” once you step inside.

So disabled people who can’t use the stairs get to see themselves as not only handicapped, but grossly overweight? Great job, jerks.

If you say "beer can" in a posh English accent, it sounds like you're saying "bacon" in a Jamaican accent.

Just rediscovered this gem from earlier this year. It’s my cover of Okkervil River’s A Girl In Port for Stephen’s audio 2 project. All 6 and a half minutes of it. It’s worth it to listen to the end for Rob’s masterful trumpet arrangement/playing. This track is really a testament to the musical greatness of my friends. I was thoroughly disorganized leading up to this session. I didn’t even have a bassist for it until the night before.

Credits:

Me - vox and rhythm guitar

David Kumler - Bass

Will Hunter - Drums

Morgan Kasprowicz - BGV’s and Piano

Ben Kaufman - Mandolin

Daniel Fernandez - Slide Guitar

Robert Gay - Trumpet

Stephen Turney - Engineer

Michael Hardesty - Assistant Engineer

Aw, shucks. This turned out really well! Always a pleasure working with my amazing Belmont friends.

Wilco - “You Never Know”

I love the lead guitar line that happens at around 2:30. It might be my favorite part of the album.

Tired Thoughts.

Think about the album you’ve listened to over and over that still gives you goosebumps when you sit down and pay attention to it. Could you make something even better?

Think about the girl who’s so talented, different, and beautiful that you can’t help but feel grossly inadequate. Do you even know her yet?

Think about the life ahead of you and what it could look like if all your gifts were put to their greatest use. Will you settle for less?

What will it take to make that music? To find that love? To have that life?

The Sight of You With Someone Else

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:07:00 -0600

I have known the cold of winter snow
On white december trees
I have watched it turn to water as it melts

But the strongest chill that’s bit my bones
In recent memory
Was the sight of you with someone else

I’ve been beaten up, bitten bad,
And stung by honeybees
Covered up in callouses and welts

But the deepest hurt that I have had
In recent memory
Was the sight of you with someone else.

I’ve seen starving little babies and forgotten souvenirs
I’ve seen villages with water-stricken wells
But the only thing that’s ever had me holding back a tear
Was the sight of you with someone else
