Foster The People :: Helena Beat
(Com Truise Remix)
I haven’t checked out Com Truise’s page in bit, but today I visited his site and saw he released a new mix about a month ago. When I heard the vocals, I was instantly taken back to the middle of November, when I saw him playing a set here in Austin. I remember falling in love with the song as soon as I heard the vocals mixing with his distinctive 80′s waves and drum beats. I looked everywhere over the next few weeks to figure out what the song was, but had no luck. So needless to say, I was stoked to stumble across it today.

Robot Science :: Inhale
I picked up a copy of his last album, but didn’t know he came out with this newest one Good Luck. It seems to have more a repetitive nature than his previous records. A couple of tracks have this similar approach with gradual shifts and light-tone loops that remind me of The Field. I love it. Check out the rest of this album here: http://robotscience.bandcamp.com/album/good-luck

Finding Oregon
Finding Oregon from Uncage the Soul Productions on Vimeo.
This video from Uncage the Soul Video Productions is incredible. Finding Oregon is the compilation of six months of timelapse photography across the state punctuated by a 1600 mile road trip in September. Locations include the Columbia River Gorge, Mt. Hood, Mt Jefferson, the Southern Coast, the Alvord Desert, Leslie Gulch, Blue Mountains, Crater Lake, and the Eagle Cap Wilderness.
Some of the night shots look so unreal, I thought that there was some compositing action going on there for a minute. Seeing the stars in rotation in the night sky is really quite amazing. It’s almost like you can see the whole universe moving around us.

Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere
I love these images from photographer Chris Sisarich. Pictures of the desert always seem to fascinate me, but these take it to a different level. I guess its because I always associate the desert as a place that is barren and lifeless, but these images are just visual reminders there are civilizations out there that I am completely out of touch with. The first image of the neighborhood street and the second of the isolated gas pump are so captivating. Check out the rest of this series here.
