Relaxing Music at the Computer

Posted in Media, life at 12:56 pm with tags: • • • • • • •

I spend a LOT of time on the computer, particularly editing videos and building websites, and both of which require a good deal of concentration. I often like to listen to music while doing these, but find that radio stations and my favorite rock music from itunes often ends up just being more of a distraction than its worth. Enter RelaxationSonics, the new collection from MettaSonics. RelaxationSonics is a collection of 6 discs, each a continuous hour of instrumental music that is PERFECT for coding and editing. This is calm, relaxing music that is subtle enough I can even keep it playing while I’m editing videos with dialogue. The soothing tones help keep my brain from getting friend by setting a nice, relaxing container for me to work in. Plus, as a bonus they’re excellent for reading and falling asleep to! My favorite track is definitely New Beginning!

Learn Why I’m a Pearl Jam fan

Posted in Uncategorized at 7:10 am with tags: • • • • •

If you’ve never heard anything other than Ten, think of ticketmaster when you hear the name, or laugh because they remind you of alternative rock in high school, now’s your chance to re-frame the band and learn why I’m such a big fan. Bummed there’s no screening in CO, but the DVD is on its way so I’ll just have to host one of my own…

Immagine was shot over 5 shows in Italy and includes live performances and behind the scenes. Rock On.

Slipping Away

I like this song……..Moby rocks. “open to everything” has been the phrase in my head the last week. I knew it was from a song but couldn’t remember it for the life of me. Feels good to have found it……..and to be feeling it……

Lollapalooza

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:35 pm with tags: • • • •

day one was pretty mellow, saw Satellite Party (the 3rd gen Jane’s Addiction), and Daft Punk headlined, most impressive. Celebrate [one more time] mixed with some Cafe Del Mar and later Human Together, fuckin’ sweeeeeeeeet.

Wasn’t too hot, nice and tolerable today, had some kickin’ vegan ice cream and was quickly reminded how many scantily clad beautiful women tend to show up to music festivals.

tomorrow: I’m thinking Sound Tribe Sector 9, Regina Spektor, Snow Patrol, Spoon, and Muse.

Sunday: Amy Winehouse, Iggy & The Stooges, then though I’d like to go see Modest Mouse it’ll be straight over to AT&T for some My Morning Jacket (who i actually kinda dig) in order to get good seats for Pearl Jam, who’s playing Lolla for the first time in over a decade, and will likely be my only chance to see them live this year.
