Hey, thanks!
So a LOT of you guys checked out my first post on Fantastic Weapon (the one about Simian Mobile Disco, to be exact). Thanks so much for that! I think it’s an awesome way to kick off my contributions on the blog. You guys rule.

Interesting. I love song associations.

I can definitely associate certain songs with certain memories.

Album Titles?
Anyone else get a small yet strange sense of self-satisfaction from hearing album titles in the lyrics you’re listening to on that particular album? I always feel like it’s a little secret between the artist and I that no one really gets.
Anyone else ever feel this way, or am I nuts?

The audio quality leaves a little to be desired, but Dizzee is still crazy.

Just gotta vent.
It’s been a refreshing but heartbreaking experience this past month or so. I’ve kind of been going through my circle of people and cutting out completely those that don’t treat me with the respect I feel I deserve.
Recently I’ve cut loose for my personal life two women, both of whom are pretty much straight-up disingenuous people. Which is interesting,...

Tweet A Sound { sound + software } at { sound + design }
“Tweet A Sound is a desktop application that uses Twitter as a platform for sharing sonic tweets. Pushing the idea of “social sound design”, Tweet A Sound allows you to design a sound and share it in a community of like-minded folks. It is an opportunity for fun interaction with sound.”

WatchThe Kooks - “Ooh La” (via La Blogotheque)
I watched this over the weekend at a friend’s place in Boston; basically the moral of the story is to write REALLY catchy pop songs, so that when you go play them acoustically while strolling down the street of a foreign language-speaking country, people will be able to sing along.
The ending is the best.
Mad Men
I just finished the second season. A little slow to start but I really like it. Anyone else watch? Stoked for the return?

Drexel University President Dies At 63 - cbs3.com →
Taki really was a kind-hearted soul that helped Drexel move leaps and bounds in the right direction towards national prominence. I became friends with his daughter, who shares many of the same glowing traits as he did, and my heart goes out to her and her mother.
He’ll very much be missed. A great guy all in all. It’s a sad day for the alma mater, indeed.
