Splash That Red On Me

I remember back on a fall day a week after I returned from my mission in 2008 I learned of a vocal maven known as Santogold, now know as Santigold.  (For reason on name change read this article found on wikipedia.)  But I digress.  My first paycheck once I started back to work a couple weeks later I made my way down to the local record shop (Ok it wasn't really a record shop but more like the Best Buy.  My town sucks and has no record shops... corporate scum and best) and picked up her first album, 'Santogold.'  The guy who helped me find it thought I was crazy as the cover art is simple genius at best, but to him must be insane, this town has no art appreciation :(

Once again I digress.  Needless to say I love her and have been with her since her debut.  I pray she releases more magic this year!  Her stuff is one of the go to albums I blast right before any photo shoot I head off to.

The Arms of Another Man

'Extraordinary Machine'
-Fiona Apple

I sit in my office way past normal business hours (1:30am) and I hear rhythmic pounding from the office upstairs.  I think this might be the plot of my favorite Woody Allen film 'Small Time Crooks' happening before me, except we don't share a building with a bank just a consignment shop.

At least that's all I hope the noise from upstairs is...

On a sad note Sydnee said I missed a most awesome lightning show tonight due to being stuck at my job.  I sure hope things change in the very near future as far as employment goes.  *fingers crossed*


'Take a Letter Maria'
-R.B. Greaves

I'm on Fire

It's true I totally am on fire.  I've been blogging up a storm.  In fact last week when blogger was down for what was just a day but seemed like an eternity I was nervous.  I don't know what has gotten into me but I am back to blogging like a mad man.  However I will refer you all back to 'Jesus Has Me Blogging Again' and most importantly the last section in that post.  I still will not ever go back to posting personal details on my life so this blog I'm posting is just another music discovery post.

Oh how Sydnee has turned me onto some amazing music and this band who's video you will watch is no exception.  How have I, Gawdun, never heard them before?!  The Jezabels...

This is the favorite song of mine now...

If I Were a Bridesmaid

I have not laughed nor cry-laughed at a film in such a long time till I saw 'Bridesmaids.'  And just like Sydnee and I agree we laughed the ENITRE time.  All I can say is, "Well done Kristen Wiig on such a well written film, well acted and great choice of actors."  I may be seeing it again very soon.

Man This Ship Has Left Already I See

I thought with me attending the gym 2 hours at a time for 6 days a week meant I could be proud of my accomplishments in the work I have done.  However according to the below picture I now need to find a large white board to hang around my neck when I go to the beach in a few weeks...

Welcome to Utah magazine racks...

However it looks like they missed a few that are more "skanky"than the fully clothed Olivia Wilde cover of Glamour.  So really what are they trying to sensor, I'm confused. :-/


On a side note:  Michael J. Fox looks so out of place.  Happy 50th Mike!

We All Find It

I just don't have the time nor ability to be a faithful fan of Glee.  However one performance on the show by our favorite late night Ambien induced twitter user named Kristin Chenoweth will never leave my mind, especially on a rain filled night.  By the way I hate youtube videos with stupid lyrics flashing on the video but the below video was the only one that would post properly so just minimize this window and do other work while you listen to the song.

Your Male for My Female

This is my ode to Steve Jobs and the rest of the development team over at the Cupertino, CA HQ offices.  (That is the HQ of Apple for those that might not know this fun fact)

Thank you for designing and thinking,
Thank you for listening to your clients,
Thank you for "Thinking Different,"
Thank you for paying attention in anatomy class,
even when all you wanted to do was design mother boards.
Thank you for understanding that a male end will always
do the same to a female end.
THANK YOU for making the iPhone male and female
ends all the same as the iPod ones!!!
Thank You.

With Love,
Me,
A. Gawdun

The reason for this post would be the simple understanding that when you lock all your keys in the car with your iPhone charges, both home and car chargers, and your battery shows only 2% life, your life might end.  Thank goodness I have an extra cord at home from iPod #3 I bought last summer.  I couldn't have found a better way to open it and christen it for the first time than sticking it in a iPhone 4.

Bloggin for May

Just another late night music feast/break from work, for them that may not know of this awesome band.

Late Nights at the Office

Now that I rent space from a friend to use as a creative location for my photography and creative else parts, I tend to spend a few late nights down here.  Either way I remembered that we were all down here the other night and Rachel (one I rent from) wanted to share a favorite song of her's from childhood.  (I think the screen printing paint fumes had sunken into our brains by this point so we were all getting loopy)
