Over the past 6 month ive been making a habit of noting down interesting things on my Iphone in various lists I have which vary from films to watch books to read places to visit things to learn etc heres a snippet:
- Reggie Watts Performance – Find Music
- Get laura marlin CD
- 8051 Microprocessor – Investigate
- Learn the names of the ligaments and bones in the hand
- Lana Del Rey New Album
- Niki & The Dove
- Find the Nordic word for tree at the centre of the earth:Yggdrasil!!!
Basically I’ll do that, in the past I’ve forgotten so, so many small things I wanted to investigate hear visit see and do that I’ve kind of just begun jotting these notes and revisiting them. On top of that I take pictures of things to remind me to do things or just generally of things which appeal! This was walking through the streats of York last week when going out for some food with Jo & Musah.
And this was at work today after glancing over and seeing the wire-numbers bully was using set in a easy pick container.
Its always Hues, I dont know why but things like this just look appealing, long may there be more of these kinds of things pop up day in and day out! Anyway back to what I was trying to get at, because I never really sit still, when i find someting I like, I go deeper generally with the help of Google. So after hearing a song on the radio last weak which I really liked I managed to catch the name of the band and stick it in the music list on my Iphone. Later on in the week at work I decided to Google the band “Niki & The Dove” and ended up with their Youtube playlist on whilst I was working and the music was superb, many influneces, lots of detune synth and great rhythms, I was sold!
At one point I looked over to the YouTube player to see the video posted for the song Under the bridges which consists of a dance school doing some incredibly good dance movement. I’ve seen quite allot of dance of many flavours in the past from doing lots of gigs at Dance City and other touring stuff and this choreography looked interesting, similar to seeing the balls of wool mentioned earlier. So I dug deeper, the choreographer is called Kate Jablonski , digging deeper agin she had choreographed a piece to one of Laura Marlings songs “I Was Just a Card” (Which I like, and her album is on my “LIST”!) so I clicked to watch. All I can say is that this is SUPERB!!! The Coreography is excellent and the camerawork and lighting (L201?) captures it well allong with a great song!
Kate Jablonski – I was just a Card
This was definitely worth the distraction and had to share!
