I forgot to post this at Christmas, but it's still awesome now.

The recent Grammy awards included two absolutely amazing performances.
First and foremost, the legendary Radiohead.
Thom Yorke is backed by the USC Trojan Marching Band (who, in my opinion, stole the show. They rocked!)
Hopefully the video is still up (copyright, you know...don't the powers that be realize these videos sell their records? Hello...). See it here.

Also, Adele, with Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland, singing "Chasing Pavements" (the first two YouTube versions I originally saved have already been pulled. So frustrating)

The one, the only, the timeless
Ray LaMontagne, singing "Trouble"



And his version of Crazy will blow your mind too

Talking Dogs

Two talking cats

Newton Faulkner

I guess this guy is a huge hit in the UK, but too few Americans have heard of him yet.
Take a listen...really amazing.
I'm so sad I missed his performance at House of Blues a few days ago.

Photobooth Friday

Instead of a booth shot today, how about a video that starts in a photobooth?

Jamiaca's Usain Bolt's gold medal celebration dance has made the rest of the world take note of Elephant Man's "Nuh Linga" dance craze.
See Usain dance here.

This looks like fun to me (I love organized dance steps. Ah, back in the day...with the Electric Slide, Oak Tree, Rubberband, The Hustle...)

Jeff Buckley, Hallelujah

This is a fun, silly spoof on Star Wars, called "Store Wars".
It is about organic produce.

The video was produced by Free Range Studios for The Organic Trade Association, 2005.

Misc

I've been cruising through Flickr, looking for inspiration for The Purse Project, and have been discovering some incredible collages (check out the blog--I found some great stuff to link).
In my search, I came across some other projects that just make my mind start running with possibilities.

Like this stitched paper vest (click on images to go to the Flickr pages, and to view more of the details)

I found this on Jelly Bean Angel.
I had never heard it before, but it's so timeless.
One of the best parts of blogging is finding kinship with people across seas and continents.
Thanks Melanie!

So You Think You Can Dance - Bollywood Edition

Wow, how amazing is this? So inspiring.
I love the symbolism.
I love how, as Mia said, dance is a universal language, and so many elements of various cultures intertwine.

I work with an older man who is from India.
He is soft spoken, always positive, wears sweater vests that his mom knit for him, and arranged marriages for his daughters.
He is kind and sweet but shy.
One day we got on the subject of dance, and he raised up his arms and made a motion of such grace and fluidity that I was blown away.
A split second spoke of tradition and culture and sensuality,
Now I am forever fascinated with this style of movement.

Happy Birthday America!

Most of you already know how much I love green design.
Stuff like this just thrills me
