Discoveries

A list of stuff that are interesting to me and therefore might interest you!

Design:
Public School, a group of creative people with different professions based in Austin, brings you lessons to live by on posters.

What friends are doing:

My friend Yassin, a.k.a. The Narcicyst, released his latest album a few weeks ago. The album got its first of many rave reviews. Naturally of course, because he's a genius! Here's the video for the first single P.H.A.T.W.A. Pay close attention to every detail in it. Get to know Narcy on his blog, his site, and his MySpace.

Finance:

Thomas Cook just filed for bankruptcy. Good Magazine released a nice diagram of the world's Largest Bankruptcies.

Advertising:

One of my favourite go to websites for the latest in advertising, I Believe in Advertising, posted Volvo's latest campaign with an apperance by Snow White. Awesome copy.

Music Video:

Firekites, a band from Australia, uses chalk animation in this beautiful video for the song "Autumn Story."

Movies:
Caramel is a film with beautiful cinematography, well established characters and plot and a funny, charming script. It also steers away from being too Phoenician Lebanese, which if you understand what I mean, you know what I mean. Bonus: the co-writer and director of the film, who also happens to have the lead role, is beautiful.


Music - Album Suggestion:
Parra Soundsystem - The Art of Partying
Full of disco beats, this album will give your feet some work. So get started on your summer physique by playing it in its entirety.
