Seize the weekend!
Am I ever excited about this one, you can’t miss this one, you NEED to listen it. I even used caps locks there for an important word.
I debated placing this one first or last, but here it is first in line because I’m so emphatically passionate about this song so let’s fire it up! First up is Flash’s delicious song Right Here, make sure you turn this one up proper. Make sure you are properly seated for this delightful bit of dubstep, for when the bass drops you are guaranteed an eargasm. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. From the dreamy vocals to the baby crib twinkling, this is one for sure you’ll get an intense chill from.

Next up is Jose Padilla’s Que Bonito. Jose is a resident DJ in Café del Mar bar on the island of Ibiza, Spain. Que Bonito is Spanish for ‘how pretty’ or ‘how beautiful’ and I think the name is apt for how Jose wove all the different layers together into a beautiful tapestry we can enjoy. Google some images of Ibiza, close your eyes, listen to this song, imagine you’re basking the warm sun on the beach in Ibiza. No need to thank me for the free vacation trip I’ve given you!

We end off two from Miguel Migs, a Californian DJ and producer. In Mesmerized the uploader filmed some footage from Toronto’s lovely transit system, used a relaxing house song as the soundtrack. I find this a most odd juxtaposition of opposition, as anyone that has commuted in Toronto during rush hour knows people are hardly relaxed then. So Far, a song featured on Hed Kandi (hence the picture) compilations. The smooth vocals and positive lyrics always give me a boost to my day, hope you guys enjoy these!

Light as furniture as light!

I do adore the second picture onward. I like the idea of lighting as usable furniture; it really saves a lot of space. Maybe your new foot rest can warm your feet as well?!
I did email Modoluce and they were very quick to respond to me. Unfortunately they only have an affiliate with a company in the States and not here in Canadia. That other company was quick to email me back as well so I may be doing business with them in the future.
Chill mix coming up for the weekend, this one will be a great one!

Heh, iPhone
Sunday Mar. 28th, switching themes constantly to run down the battery to zero so I can do a full recharge. This madness pops up!
Theme is Drawn2Me. 5 Icon Dock and 5 Column Springboard through Cydia. The Categories app as well through Cydia, so all my icons are in folders and I only have one page on my springboard.
The 3.1.3 patch does fix this, but forces you to at max have a tethered jailbreak. If you're coming pre-3.1.2 to 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 then you'd lose all your jailbreaking if you have done so already, not good. Shame on Apple for restricting themes, that is something I would pay money for. Shame on you for forcing a sterile boring interface on us. Thanks to the dev team for imparting on us this freedom of expression and beauty.
Why should you jailbreak your iPhone?

Friday Chill Mix - Mar 12
Friday Chill Mix - Mar 12
The weather is warming up so let’s start planning out our beach trips and BBQs. Good thing I have just the thing needed to take us there.
Let’s whet our listening buds first with Bonobo’s curious song Flutter. With notions of Thievery Corporation’s employment of the sitar, this British DJ mixes a variety of layers for your listening pleasure. It’s been a while since I’ve raved about an artist like this, so I encourage you all to check out more of Bonobo’s material on YouTube and support him how you can. BONOBO!!!
Now turn up the bass in your headphones and kick up your feet, unless you’re still at work then you have my empathy. Belgium group Sweet Coffee is up next with a sultry song. Don’t miss the deliciously smooth jazz found in the second part of the song.
We head back to Bonobo with the song ‘Pick Up’ which seems to bring a bit more funk to a St. Germain sound. It sure helped pick up my step as I head into the weekend.
Click below to give it a try.

Combating Pests In Your Backyard With Stars Wars Technology
Ok, were you thinking lightsabres? Because that'd probably require a lot of effort. While you may get your dream of Biggest Nerdiest Loser this endeavor likely would be quite counter-productive in regards to maintaining a state of unbittenness. Yeap, I like that word I just made up too. Your friendly neighborhood mosquitoes are drawn to the carbon monoxide and lactic acid (produced by muscle metabolism) in your breath and your feet.
At times to the I delight in vagueness and conversation topic jumps to the consternation of others. Let's have a generic update hidden in the second paragraph. Yes it has been near two years since I have made an entry, but I've occasionally checked it again and a few people have discovered this blog e-stalking me. I have not 'blogged' yet I have, and constantly do. Some of that is spamming friends with amazing music I've discovered, some of that is a more formal introduction and collection of the aforementioned. I may post some of those later on. I haven't bothered to update my Blogspot in near two years, and I'm doing that on a creative outburst. (I actually wrote 3/4 of this one night then finished it now. Bad Jorai, bad.)
The first two videos illustrate the pesky insect's flight mechanics, pretty boring stuff. Our violence craving society skips immediately to the third video which promises Star Trek or Star Wars, whatever it is, it promises to dole out some delightful destruction of devastating proportions.
http://intellectualventureslab.com/?p=653
Graphic content?
Can destruction be art? Can you believe 'Alex' wondered why mosquitoes had to die for this human promoting cause? Do we need a kinder, gentler laser gun hand? More importantly, why didn't they shoot one that had just sucked blood because we love explosions and car chases?
If this is somewhat mass produced for commercial purposes, what about other animals whose diet the mosquito makes up a large part of their diet? Won't someone please think of the dragonflies?

Rob Orbison - Classic music
Rob Orbison was a pioneer of rock and roll. He was born in Texas in 1936 and passed away in 1988. At times I confused him with Elvis Presley, for the soft crooning love songs and soothing voice. He has a wonderfully powerful voice, don't just let me talk about it, hear for yourself. Here are two of my favourite songs from him.
Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman
Roy Orbison - Only The Lonely (1960)

Heh, Cute Overload is great.
You got fun pictures like this, don't think it is fake. Does it remind you of Bush using those pin-hole binoculars?

Who is excited for the UEFA EURO Cup 2008?
I used to play soccer quite a bit, now.......I'm just lazy and hate running. Anyways, watch these penalty shots.
This one is worth watching too, never seen anything like it myself.

Long overdue music update.
David Guetta's hit single Baby When the Light featuring Cozi Costi
Does every Guetta video have to have lots of women dancing? The main girl is some model winner from a model search reality show apparently.
Cozi has such a cute voice, search hard enough and you will find a clip of her doing the song 'live.' Her MySpace page also has a few good songs I enjoyed.
Queens Of The Stone Age - Make It Wit Chu (No embedding.)
Presenting the third single from QOTSA's Era Vulgaris album.
Click Here!
I was pretty disappointed at the Era Vulgaris album, really felt it was a step back. My understanding is that the leader singer Josh was in a poor (angry) state of mind when they were recording the album. I really felt that came out with most of the album moving towards more of a thrash sound. I like their older stuff, has a groovier feel to it, ya dig?
The Killers - Shadowplay
To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you
Moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
In a room without a window in the corner I found truth
This is actually a cover of a 1979 Joy Division song called Shadowplay, from the album Unknown Pleasures. I actually like the modern take much better. Not a fan of The Killers, but this they did a good job here. Ok, that isn't the official video, this one is. The official video doesn't allow embedding, which really takes away the flow of this blog. Check it out still, it pays homage to Joy Division and is a decent watch.
