COLOR PORN, Adam Ferriss


'iostream'

i want a gigantic print of this. wall-sized.
quite inspired to do a bit of colorfield painting tonight. perhaps on my actual wall.


'warbl'

za za zooo, this one is radiating this electric buzzing energy.

my favorite daily pick-me-up has been the treasure trove of color porn at Adam Ferriss' blog

25 February 2013

this might be my favorite music video of all time, so it bears repeating

so simple, yet exquisite and electrifying

'You Always Hurt The One You Love' performed by The Mills Brothers 1944



You always hurt the one you love 
The one you shouldn't hurt at all 
You always take the sweetest rose 
And crush it till the petals fall 

You always brea-eak the kindest hear-eart 
With a hasty word you can't recall, so
If I broke your heart la-ast night
It's because I love you most of all

You always hurt the one you lo-ove 
The one you shouldn't hurt at all 
You always take the sweetest ro-ose 
And crush it till the petals fa-all 

You always break the kindest heart 
With a hasty word you can't recall 
So-o if I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you mo-ost of a-all

You always hurt the one you love 
The one you shouldn't hurt at all 
You always take the sweetest rose 
Crush it, ti-ill the petals fall 

You always brea-eak the kindest heart 
With a hasty word you can't recall, so
If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all...

SKYE- 'featherlight'

since i'm already on a video kick, I just stumbled across this one


beautiful, sort of hypnotic song with an alluring amount of glitter and sparkles

Scream & Shout REMIX with BRITNEY, Will.i.am, LIL WAYNE, Diddy, Waka Flocka Flame, Hit Boy


the original song is so terrible that I didn't have much hope for even a remix with Weezy...buttt if you skip the first half where Britney and Will.i.am serve up the same milquetoast shit just slowed down, it actually turns into a pretty good jam (though I am quite partial to Lil Wayne, Waka and Diddy)

DIPLO does it again 'BUTTERS THEME', JAM-OF-THE-WEEEK

Michael Hogan 'what she gave to us'

LFTF Compton Chic- 'MISERERE'


LFTF (Live For The Funk) is"​Introducing innovative artists who bring something even more ambitious and progressive to the already eclectic scenes we love and represent is the whole reason we started the Our Sounds label, and with each new release we try our best to further push toward that overall ideal. With that said, in steps Montreal producer/singer Compton Chic, whose debut EP #CRYING will release next week as the fourth project in the OS series, LFTF004.Everything 20-year-old Compton Chic creates on #CRYING is based in and around emotion. Ideas are detached, obtuse, and wildly experimentalleaving you completely submerged beneath waves of lush, hot-blooded atmospheres. Soul/R&B along with goth/punk influences get mashed together to form an unorthodox conundrum of sounds that are both dismal and tragic, yet beautiful and sublime at the same time. Echo-ing R&B vocals reverberate beneath skittish drums patterns as if they're being shouted from miles away, injecting tracks with deep-seated feelings of built up desire. Even when Compton Chic decides to display her own voice on tracks, which happens a few times throughout the EP, the results are inherently visceral—showcasing her diverse talents on the most bare and basic level and leaving it all on the line."
#CRYING ep is available 2/26 here

Free Will Astrology: GEMINI


ooh Rob Brezsny you done did it again...

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the coming weeks, I'm expecting your life to
verge on being epic and majestic. There's a better than even chance that
you will do something heroic. You might finally activate a sleeping
potential or tune in to your future power spot or learn what you've never
been able to grasp before. And if you capitalize gracefully on the
kaleidoscopic kismet that's flowing your way, I bet you will make a
discovery that will fuel you for the rest of your long life. In mythical
terms, you will create a new Grail or tame a troublesome dragon -- or
both.

bring it on. again.

Laguna Agate



exquisite Laguna Agate specimen from Chihuahua, Mexico. specifically Rancho Borunda, Estacion Ojo Laguna which is famous for their mined amydaloidal agates of Miocene age.
Agates are supposed to be the stone of the Gemini, Mercury and the Moon. 
Said to provide protection (wards of bad dreams and stress), aid in emotional acceptance and heal stomach issues. Agates are supposed to attract and inspire strength.

I am so terribly in love with bold-patterned oxfords that I might finally have to sacrifice a basic pair to rework in to something fantastical like this or this..
