N.MOUNT more awesome with every lecture

The last lecture for English 140 is over now *tear*. Against all assumptions of it concentrating on the final exam, our professor instead talked a bit about graffiti and more about street art. I honestly did not see that coming. It was amazing! I can't wait to get K here and drag him to one of those lectures.

Since professor Mount has been following that whole scene for a while, he introduced a lot of new names and tied the themes of certain pieces nicely to what we've been discussing in lectures over the whole year (homelessness, loss and search for identity, fast-paced culture, beauty, etc.). It was just a perfect ending to that class. I feel motivated (yet again) and because of that I just had to share couple of thoughts about it.

Oh, and I saw that cute stencil of a child on a wall nearby TIFF Bell Lightbox and thought I should put it up here. Unfortunately I do not know who the artist is, so if anyone has an idea I would love to know.

Red Bull's Electropedia: Whatever! and something pretty unrelated to that about a cool camera

Yesterday was a long day with a lot of music. This city has something lightly hipster around it but they're nice and they listen to good music. People actually raving on Joy Division, Ramones, Pixies, Stone Roses, Primal Scream, A Tribe Called Quest, M.IA. ... actually each song was a cult hit somehow, mixed by a couple of great dj's. oh, and now that I found a link for that party that says it was organized by Muziekodroom (Hasselt music thing place, god I still need to catch up on my sleep enormously) and Red Bull's Electropedia. I've been hearing about the Electropedia shows for a long time and now I see why, they actually did throw a great party yesterday.
Aaaah, and here's a video. I started this post completely unprepared and it's a mess, believe me I know.

Also, let my dance moves of last night stay undiscussed for now, and check this song I heard during the pre-chilling at my place before the gig (of course). I found it in a video of a series of great promotional videos by GoPro HD (do check them in the highest resolution). They're always filmed really good and I actually wanna do all the sports you see in their clips. Also the video quality and the music is amazing every time. Check it out (in 1080, believe me):

Sometimes, there is something in the night that provides one with inspiration. Sometimes, the things produced, after my fingers have tapped the keyboard in what seemed to be an aimless way, don't seem that bad. Sometimes, I believe all our dreams will come true when we will learn to make the perfect combinations from the given elements. Sometimes...

WHAT SORCERY IS THIS? REVEAL YOURSELF, TINY SONGSTRESS!

Oooh yes yes yes. This looks amazing accompanied by an amazing cast! Darks Shadows directed by (surprise, surprise) Tim Burton. The film is set to be out somewhere in May, so until then we'll have to do with a trailer. Enjoy.
