Live Lounge Goodness

Only Bastille can mix rap, pop and country and turn it into a mind-blowing rock cover.

Eminem meets Miley meets Billie Ray- enjoy:

Fun-fact note: The “Achy Breaky Heart” bit they do in the middle of the cover is a song by Miley Cyrus’ father- the song that made him famous.

Smooth. 😉

If by chance we find each other

“I do my thing and you do your thing.I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,And you are not in this world to live up to mine.You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it’s beautiful. If not, it can’t be helped.”
”Gestalt prayer” by Fritz Perls

Oh but my darling

“She was a compulsive pessimist, always looking for the soft brown spot in the fruit, pressing so hard she created it.” — Amy Waldman, The Submission

But not by you. And not for us.

“John Koening calls i vemödalen. The fear that you’re doing something that’s already been done before, that everything that can be done has been done.
Just about every successful initiative and project starts from a place of replication. The chances of being fundamentally out of the box over the top omg original are close to being zero.

(…)

But no one is asking you to be original. We’re asking you to be generous and brave and to matter. We’re asking you to step up and take responsibility for the work you do, and to add more value than a mere cut and paste. Give credit, definitely, but reject vemödalen.

Sure, it’s been done before. But not by you. And not for us.

-Seth Godin

The Sublime

In the same spirit as the brilliant blank on Blank interviews,

A set of philosophical theories simply explained and beautifully illustrated.

Such good food for the mind 🙂

From 1984…

… To 2014

Still gives you chills.

One thing that has changed though: hairstyle… And thank god for that!
