how deep is too deep?





























pics taken at the Austin Zoo. Great Sunday afternoon trip :)

Sorry to report there won't be any Animal Collective shots. I brought my Canon to the show Friday night, but we were too far back to take anything quality. The concert was fun, despite the fact that I'm not the hugest AnCo fan. Somehow we managed to completely miss Black Dice, the opener. mmhmm yep.

---
In other news, I'm packing it off to the Caymans ridiculously early on Wednesday morning. Like I have to leave for the airport at 3:45ish in the AM. YIKES. I'm driving back to h-town tomorrow afternoon after my morning shift at AFS. This all obviously leading up to the fact that I'll be taking a week-long blogging hiatus. Enjoy the break ;)

Lastly, I want to throw more minimal at you. It's been far too long. Even though almost no one downloads this shit, and most of my friends can't comprehend my passion for it, here's something new: mountain 005.1 (original mix) - the mountain people.

mountain people are described as minimalist deep house. their stuff is slow to build, funky, and delightfully deep. No one seems to know much about these guys, adding a little intrigue into the mix. Play this one a few times & let it grow on you. I assure you, it will. Fabulous beats!

until next week!

Pic of the day?

Welcome, once again, to the new blog header/design. I think I'm going to revive my old Sunday music series, even though most of us no longer require study tunes. I also want to start profiling people - introducing them in my blog, however little good it might do them or their careers ;) ... my readership isn't exactly off the charts after all. I already have some special folks in mind, but feel free to suggest yourself/anyone else.

happy friday!

11:11 is lucky.

Harlem Shakes + Passion Pit @ Emo's Austin 06.03.09


Two of the scant pictures I managed to snap last night. We weren't close enough to manage anything better unfortunately. Harlem Shakes opened the night; Passion Pit brought the show home. Only two downfalls - 1) I have a cold (seriously? yes); and 2) The crowd emanated this awful hipster wannabe, in your face kinda vibe. More than a few obnoxious people deserved to be slapped. Wah!

---
On to bigger and better things... blog header revamp! I was tired of the romantic, sappiness of my old design. How's this? Rest assured, it'll change again in month or two ;)

---
Also - a few shots from my recent foray into the wild aka Becker Vineyards and Luckenbach. Enjoy!

come and kidnap me!


TONIGHT = Passion Pit @ Emo's. No worries, I promise to take more shitty pics with my old Canon.

If you're somehow missing out on the greatness that will be the Passion Pit concert, be consoled!! Sonic is giving away free root beer floats from 8 pm - 12 am. I think the whole world already knows about this though... would the line really be worth it?

Anddd last but not least, Tulpan. AFS screened this film last night, opening the next Essential Cinema screening series. Check 'em out - this series is entitled 'Love on the Largest Continent: Ten Asian Films.' Tickets are $6 for non-members, free for members. I strongly suggest that you join! It's definitely worth it.

the field + the juan maclean.






A few pics from Friday night's show @ the Mohawk. The Field was solid - dreamy, repetitive goodness as always, & def my preference to Juan.

---
Eeek it's past 3 and I'm not even remotely tired. Blah.

I really wish I could go to this... & find something more inspiring to do than surf the net right now. Things could always be worse, though :)
