I am the Creative Director at Media Temple. I I live and work in Los Angeles, California where I also run the Los Angeles chapter of Creative Mornings.
Yesterday was my last day working at Something Massive. It’s been an incredibly journey and it’s hard to say goodbye to the amazing people there. I was employee #2 there and it has been a honor to work with everyone there and watch this little start-up turn into a thriving and sought after agency. I learned more than I could ever have imagined and will cherish the experience and the people for years to come.
If you’re not listening to this Youth Lagoon album right now you’re doing something wrong with your life. Go buy it. Here’s a taste:
If you were to tell me that “The Weight” is the best song ever written I probably wouldn’t argue with you. It’s definitely up there with the best of them. If you search YouTube for “Mavis Staples The Weight” you’ll see a ton of her live performances of this song. I just came across one from the other week with Win Butler from Arcade Fire. Pretty great…
I had the pleasure of dining at Son of a Gun last night and it was damn good – shrimp toast, lobster rolls, mahi dip, dark and stormies and coconut porter all around. Mr. The Fox Is Black himself (Bobby Solomon) organized a little designy “bro” evening for myself, Justin of Aquarium Drunkard, Alec (one of TFIB contributors and sadly a Liverpool supporter – yet a supporter nonetheless) and Damien Correll who was in town from NYC. Hopefully, it’s the first of many evenings like this. I highly recommend checking out that restaurant and, even more so, clicking on all those talented dude’s links above.
This is probably the most defining tune of my childhood. Watching Match of the Day with my dad was pretty much the highlight of my week every week. Also – hands down the best theme song ever.
