Escaping Seattle's Heatwave
i read somewhere that only 13% of seattle has air conditioning. sure seems like it - i'm writing this from the downtown seattle public library, as reviews of it on yelp.com illustrate, it is regarded by some as beautiful and others as an eyesore. to say the least, it's an interesting building and it's very pleasant once you get used to the bizarre layout.
yes, there are a fair number of homeless people but personally i think it gives the space more character and feels like a real public space. it's not the most quiet library in the world (although it's got plenty of cute old lady vigilantes that shuuusshhh at talkers). but everybody's pretty happy to be here. especially today, like i am, most of the people here are trying to get out of the heat. i think the library is a great space, unique, interesting, definitely not boring, but still well divided and extremely practical. and the air conditioning is superb.

Searching For Miles Fisher
this dude is amazing, i want to hate him out of pure jealousy - but he's too good at what he does. this song and music video are brilliant - and his impression of tom cruise for the superhero movie (although i'm sure that movie is not brilliant) in the commercial is so spot on at points that it's creepy. this guy really is a multitalented artist, and his album is available for free at www.milesfisher.com
Weather Report - Birdland (Live Jaco Music Video)
Update: I remixed this song, focusing on sampling the intro synths - my favorite part of the song. Turned it into a nice, chill hip hop beat.
