Classy. I love everything about this.

Heart of Chambers

It's a Beach House kind of day. Here's an oldie but goodie. Definitely a favorite. Oh they make my heart happy.

Dark Side of the Lens

DARK SIDE OF THE LENS from Astray Films on Vimeo.

For everyone who loves the sea, you have to watch this epic short film. I feel inspired!

Andrew Bird's one-man orchestra of the imagination

Never fall in love with potential

if you can't see with your own eyes



And a new August favorite, Cults - Oh My God:

The Giving Tree

I felt like revisiting childhood stories today and immediately I thought of this classic favorite -- The Giving Tree. To my delightful surprise, I stumbled upon a movie version narrated by Shel Silverstein himself.



Unconditional love means that you're willing to give your all and never expect anything in return.

Wabi-sabi

A Drop Of Blue Salt from Vida Vega on Vimeo.
A beautiful, simple animation I came across today inspired by the Pablo Neruda sonnet below.

Sonnet IX: There where the waves shatter
by Pablo Neruda

There where the waves shatter on the restless rocks
the clear light bursts and enacts its rose,
and the sea-circle shrinks to a cluster of buds,
to one drop of blue salt, falling.

O bright magnolia bursting in the foam,
magnetic transient whose death blooms
and vanishes--being, nothingness--forever:
broken salt, dazzling lurch of the sea.

You & I, Love, together we ratify the silence,
while the sea destroys its perpetual statues,
collapses its towers of wild speed and whiteness:

because in the weavings of those invisible fabrics,
galloping water, incessant sand,
we make the only permanent tenderness.

the truth is all there is

I love this song (the Truth/Handsome Boy Modeling School) and Roison is just amazing. She even busts J-Live's part here...


and I want her coat too!
