...says this will save GM.

Well, maybe we shouldn't go that far but what about this makes it arguably the coolest car on the planet (at least at this moment)?  It's called raw-ness.  Pure simplicity.  No airbags, no chrome, no plastic crap...nothing.  This car is made solely from an aluminum drop fuel tank from a WWII bomber plane and a 60-degree flathead V8.  So maybe it won't save GM, but someone should take note.  Simple is beautiful.  Can't wait for the next Escalade to show up with rivets down the side.  Enjoi...be inspired.

Fixing impossible ecology through design

When we think of desert land, we think dry, uninhabitable, impossible landscape.  Not these guys.  Finally mankind is fixing it's mistakes.  At one time, these lands were extremely fertile and full of life.  It's simple, well-executed design at it's finest.  When good design pops up, regardless of the medium, it cannot go unnoticed.  Watch and be humbled.  Enjoi.

...is Mumford & Sons.

Mumford & Sons...well...kick ass!  If you don't like twangy folk or knee slappin' bluegrass music, these guys will change your tune.  Mix a little banjo, some accordian, acoustic guitar, string bass, keys, a single foot-stompin' kick drum, a heap of talent, a whole lot of heart, and you've got these guys.  They spout some of the most sincere lyrics and have some of the most honest music heard in a while.  A beautifully chilling album where every track is every bit as good as the next.  Hailing from the UK....Mumford & Sons.  Check out their debut album, "Sigh No More".  Promise, you'll be happy.

...is Marques Toliver

I've been hearing some buzz about this guy for a bit now and decided to check him out.  I'm sure it's not for everyone but the song is beautiful and probably the most innovative violin playing I've heard in a while.  I'm a big fan of those who are creative and unique with their craft.  Marques Toliver.....enjoi.

...is About three years late.

We recently discovered this documentary (three years late but oh well) and were mesmerized by it.  If you are into street art then you should definitely check out this documentary called Open Air.....it's 20 minutes well spent.
