Under Cold Blue Stars
I really feel like I’m about to have a huge creative breakthrough, on all fronts. So right now, I’d say I’m waging creative war on the graphic design, music, and writing fronts (maybe film too). The enemy is pretty much clichés. I’m also having real trouble not boring myself. Like, I can think of a really cool website design right now no problem, but it will just be…typical. At first maybe it isn’t, but it’s just not EXTRA-ordinary. It’s so frustrating to keep running into this wall of standard solutions I want to be blown away by the things I create. I want to not be able to walk for a few seconds because it’s just that awesome. I want there to be nothing like it. Anyway, I feel like this might be about to happen. I’m not sure why, I just have a feeling.
PS. ten alex points if you know the name of the artist who’s album title is the same as this post.
Some things that are rocking me this week:
The weather! Man I love it. This “is it cold? is it warm” stuff is my favorite. I love the tip of the ‘fall’ iceberg.
Zach braff on the cover of “Paste.” awesome
Charlotte Gainsbourg’s cd
Audioslave’s new one. Man I love the heavy stuff sometimes
“Optimum Zen” oatmeal from whole foods. I have no idea what flavor “zen” is supposed to be, but it’s killer.
Le Coq Sportif shoes
The Imaginary Foundation tshirts
Fyasko’s limited edition hippo tshirts
Keane’s “Hamburg Song”
The solo on John Mayer’s “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room”
from the tipping point,
alex
