The Life and Times and Amazing Adventures of DJ Bunny Ears.

The Golden Sunset Avows The Approaching Uprising.

Subway Soundtrack of the day: Daedelus' new album "Righteous Fist Of Harmony".
I have to say that while the new album is similar to other efforts, at times, it has a slight melancholic and darker edge to it.
Really digging it.

Plus, I'm going to see Beach House at Webster Hall tonight.
Washed Out is opening up.
Good times.

Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity, Empty Space and Points of Light, Giant Spotted Squash, Outmoded Formats of Sound Archiving, some Scottish singing about the French Navy.

It's closing soon, so this afternoon I quickly scooted over to see Yayoi Kusama's light installation at the Gagosian Gallery.
The staff only allowed a minute or so inside, which was a bummer as I wanted to and could stay in there for hours.
It was beautiful. Simply beautiful.
Made me get quiet and joyous and reflective.
Highly recommend you check it out before it's gone.

Yesterday, my good pal, Buzzy from Domino sent me the new Dirty Projectors album in cassette format.
Includes a mp3 download coupon.
How rad is that?
Makes three albums of recent that I've gotten on cassette, including J Dilla and Spankrock.
I love outmoded things.
Make me feel like the world is going to be alright.

And tonight, I'll be heading to see Camera Obscura at Webster Hall.
The last time I saw them play in Portland, they were a blast.
Should be fun.

A little about this blog: The idea when I decided to start up this blog came simply from my all-consuming love of music and the desire to share it friends and other fans of music. Though I may post new music here, my intention isn't to simply participate in an echo chamber of music or aggregation, but rather to come at it with a strong point of view about music - my view: what is exciting to me, what I am obsessing about, what I unearth, discover or rediscover. Sometimes it is even just a way for me to document my life - to remember what a day consisted of, what I thought about, who and what I saw, how I was feeling. At the very least, I hope I might turn you onto something new, old, inspiring. And please share back with me anytime. A little about me: I am a music supervisor, DJ, director, musician, filmmaker, radio host, book publisher, independent record label owner, writer, journalist, artist, curator, futurist, photographer & producer. After living in Portland, Oregon where I worked as a Music Supervisor/Producer at Wieden + Kennedy for over 8½ years, I made the move to New York City in February 2009, where I was the Executive Music Producer at Young & Rubicam for nearly two years, before I moved again to Chicago to become the Executive Producer of Music & Creative Integration at DDB, where I am now currently working.

I have also directed music videos for M. Ward, Cursive and Chin Up Chin Up, as well as TV commercials for Nike. With my bands and as a DJ, I have performed nationally and internationally, including San Francisco’s MOMA, Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art, PICA’s TBA Festival 2004 & 2005, CMJ Festival 2008, Flux Event at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, MusicfestNW, Paris’ radio station, Radio Nova, ‘boards Awards 2009 and Barcelona’s electronic music festival, Sonar.
