Mount Eerie: One 7", Two Sides, Two Entire Records





Mount Eerie has released a 7" containing both of the records he released in 2012 - Clear Moon and Ocean Roar.  One record per side.  Each side of the release contains every song on each LP layered on top of each other, creating a maxed out sound mash.  Yes, this does sound gimmicky, but there are beautiful sections to it...If nothing else, it has given me inspiration and recording ideas.

Urban Air



While there are certainly similar urban green initiatives, Urban Air is interesting in the fact that it transforms billboard space into bamboo gardens...a welcome site for Los Angeles commuters stuck in hours of gridlock.  This project needs money to be piloted and will be scalable and can have similar applications in other locals.

Studio Roosegaarde on TED



I'm really into the work these guys do -  They are able to connect their technology concepts to make sense in progressing and rethinking our world - a focus on sustainability and efficiency while making our world more pleasant.  Their best example of this is the "Smart Highway" concept which will be tested in 2013 in the Netherlands.  Awesome stuff.
