Florence and the Machine...

Live in concert? Yes, please. But since I was not fortunate enough to be there in spirit, NPR has given us yet another reason to love them.. Check out this 80 minute long video of Florence and the Machine Live at the Wiltern. Hurry though.. it's only available until June 28th.. after that, you'll have to purchase the vid on iTunes. Go. Listen. Now.

There's a drumming noise inside my head that starts when you're around

I swear that you could hear it, it makes such an almighty sound....

I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole

'Til there's nothing left inside my soul, as empty as the beating drum

But the sound has just begun.... 

Rave On

What a nice little surprise. "Rave On" is a new tribute/cover album of all the hit songs by music legend Buddy Holly. With it's star studded cast of musicians- Paul McCartney, She & Him, Fiona Apple, My Morning Jacket and more.. how can you NOT love this album? Wish I could buy my copy right now but the album will be released June 28.. which is only six days away!

Thanks to NPR.. you can have a "First Listen" here.

This one's for the birds...

Joolz

Freelancing while working full-time isn't necessarily an ideal thing to do, especially when you value your free time. My friend Tarin works as a Sales Representative for a company called Violet Del Mar. Being a good friend, when the owner asked if she knew any design professionals, she gave them my name. Voila.. a design relationship was born. Rob at Violet Del Mar wanted a snazzy, bling-y logo for his new company, Joolz. Here's the final logo.. do you think it's bling-ed out enough? LOL

Champion Times

My duty as a loving girlfriend includes.. boasting about my loving boyfriend's success! Back in early April, my boyfriend, Matthew Shelby, participated in the Intercollegiate Business Strategy Competition held in Long Beach. Graduate and undergraduate teams from different school across the nation participated in this event and Team Gaia's Goodness took home 2 out of 2 awards in their respective "worlds." The awards were for: Best Overall Reports and Best Overall Performance.
