ok, here's the song least likely to ever make it on my blog because, frankly, i'm just not that into it... however, director Greg Jardin (pictured here with his radical music video rep Jenn Heath) did such an incredible job, that i can actually enjoy the song; even his sound design adds a nice touch to the experience... it just goes to show how much a video can do for an artist i personally would hardly appreciate otherwise...

here's the skinny - Greg Jardin spent the last 22 months, on and off, holed up with over 288,000 JELLY BEANS and a rotating army of interns, to create this magical piece for Kina Grannis. more about their diligent process:

Steve Jobs

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart…

Stay hungry. Stay foolish... Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma; which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Steve Jobs - thank you for the magic!

love is found

♡♡♡ Sade ☆ LOVE IS FOUND MP3 ♡♡♡

just a week ago, i saw SADE front & center, 10 rows down from the stage in the VIP section thanks to Andrew Hale, Sade composer & keyboardist since 1984. without a doubt, this was the most beautiful, elegant & heart warming show i've been to in many years. to witness such tight intimacy & complicity among a band of so many extraordinary musicians blew my mind... not to mention i've worshiped Sade Adu since i was a kid in the 80s! pics of the show in this iphone album of mine.

while the east coast got an earthquake & another hurricane, i've been chilling under the hot California sun... gallivanting around town, i came across the fabulous high priestess of green galactic...

The Laughing Heart

commissioned by W+K Levi's, this Radical Media production was directed by RALF SCHMERBERG who shot it from dusk till dawn with natural lighting over the span of 5 nights last Spring. the spot celebrates those looking to ensure a better future for this world, with words by Charles Bukowski:

THE LAUGHING HEART

⎯ your life is your life
⎯ don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
⎯ be on the watch.
⎯ there are ways out.
⎯ there is a light somewhere.
⎯ it may not be much light but
⎯ it beats the darkness.
⎯ be on the watch.
⎯ the gods will offer you chances.
⎯ know them.
⎯ take them.
⎯ you can’t beat death but
⎯ you can beat death in life, sometimes.
⎯ and the more often you learn to do it,
⎯ the more light there will be.
⎯ your life is your life.
⎯ know it while you have it.
⎯ you are marvelous
⎯ the gods wait to delight
⎯ IN YOU...

Björk: Crystalline

Michel Gondry and Peter Sluszka collaborated on the music video for Björk's CRYSTALLINE, from her new album Biophilia, giving it an experimental, almost retro sci-fi feel. look out for sprouting icicles, holographs, strange bubbles, Gondry's 2D drawings and a holographic Björk. her performance was initially recorded against black on multiple cameras and then projected into the set against a spinning disc hovering above a cratered moonscape.

Biophilia, which is inspired by science and nature, is also accompanied by an iPad app narrated by naturalist David Attenborough...

Amy Winehouse

i'm so sad - one of my people died today... and i'm strangely grateful to be one of the lucky ones. i'm incredibly fortunate because i no longer suffer from the insanity that took AMY WINEHOUSE's precious life away. i count my blessings every day, we all should... Amy Winehouse was one of the greatest talents of our time. it breaks my heart that she wasn't able to surrender the drugs, find a healthier way of coping & get a second chance at life, as i have... may she rest in peace ✡
