Volcano!

Everyone has their inspirations, their muses. And on the music front, one of mine is the incredible Chelsea Davis. I draw fonts, listen to her tracks. Design some stuff for her. She does a lot.

Chelsea’s classically trained, plays drums for theSTART, Normandie, among a few others. Her personal project is iVellora – and  . . .  great voice.

Her newest project is Volcano Dolls – a collaboration with Suicide Girl Jessica Goodwin (Google Zoli). They’ll be playing LA’s Viper Room this Friday.

Flyer (above) designed by Lux Nova. It features my 2491 font. Volcano Dolls Facebook page here – with new tracks posting soon.

Ppi Ri Ppa Ppa Bbi Ri Bba Bba Bbi Ri Bop

‘Narsha is a member of the South Korean girl group Brown Eyed Girls  . . .  her self-titled debut mini-album was released on July 8th, 2010. A mainly uptempo collection of electropop and dance tracks, she released a music video for the main promotional track, showing a nightmarish concept. The video for this song immediately sparked religious controversy.’

Constructivism: Never Odd or Even

Constructivism was an artistic and architectural movement that originated in Russia from 1919 onward which rejected the idea of ‘art for art’s’ sake in favour of art as a practice directed towards social purposes  . . .  this video is part of the ‘Palette’ project and pays homage to Constructivism.’

Not Dirty Laundry

The follow up to Dirty Laundry: Don Henley’s All She Wants to Do Is Dance (1984) – a condemnation of people being more interested in being frivolous instead of paying attention to serious issues, such as the crap our government was up to.

How far we’ve come.

More Dirty Laundry

Lisa Marie Presley’s cover of Don Henley’s 1982 condemnation of tabloid media, Dirty Laundry.

Interesting, Henley never made a video for the original.
