if the unspoken things had a sound, this is what they would sound like.

bon iver's much overdue self titled album came out yesterday.  I drove up the canyons last night with a friend to give it a listen and well — I think it just might be perfect. well done juston vernon. well done.
This is going to be the creative soundtrack and definitive music for the pieces that come out of the next two months.

how quick are you gonna get up?

NIKE unleashed a really cool new campaign pumped by the Hours song "Ali in the jungle". A great song paired with a fresh and empowering concept - sweet marketing. Artistically I love the original steam punk stylized animation by the band — but I gotta say, Nike's version makes me want to go kick some butt.

It's a good song to remind you of possibility. That it's never too late for a new outlook or fresh start. A nice anthem for a new week. enjoy.

I (and) Love (and) You

i know. i've been super neglectful in keeping the blog up to date. Maybe I'll catch up in the next week. In the meantime, Here's something to inspire and hold you over... I saw the Avett brothers last night. My fifth Avett show and my favorite live band ever! I came across them in a great little dive bar in North Carloina a couple years back on a road trip and they've been in constant rotation on my ipod ever since. Here's one of their new songs they played lastnight (i and love and you).

it's a good day.

• falling asleep lastnight at 7:00 and not waking up until 8:30 this morning
• a dark chocolate raspberry THANK YOU cake from BlackHound sent to the office
• a nap in the park under a big shady tree at lunch
• coming back to the office, checking itunes for new releases and finding a perfect little new release from modest mouse. i think i'll get myself a present...
