Inspiration Collage

Taking a break from packing up my immediate surroundings into boxes for the 3rd time in 2 years on a Saturday night to seek out some inspiration…

The right time…

righttime

“When do you think is the time to love somebody the most; when they done good and made things easy for everybody? It’s when he’s at his lowest and can’t believe in hisself ’cause the world done whipped him so. When you starts measuring somebody, measure him right child, measure him right.” -A Raisin in the Sun

Chromeo Studio Shoot with Yours Truly

Some photos I shot tonight during a Yours Truly video shoot with Chromeo.  The shoot and recording session took place at Different Furs studios in the Mission District of San Francisco, and captured the Quebec-based duo recording never-before-heard acoustic renditions of three tracks from their upcoming album, “Business Casual,” to be released in September 2010.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the focus on musicality on their new album.  Paying homage to the “Easy Listening” (their word) moguls from their upbringing, the duo created songs that were capable of being stripped down to the piano/vocals foundation of their songwriting, while keeping the quirky funky-electro flavor that they are so well known for.

“…distance aside…”

The Morning Jam

The video for this track leaves a great deal to be desired, but the “Relayted” album by Gayngs has been an integral part of my daily soundtrack this past week, and this track, “Cry,” from the album has been my morning serenade….Enjoy, but maybe listen to it with your eyes closed to spare yourself the adverse association with the cheezy video
