the thing is...: January 2012
http://alexisalegate.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 21, 2012. Captain ives, treasure hunter. This video is amazing. It's a short about 75 year-old ray ives, who has spent a good portion of his life below sea level. which, i am insanely jealous of. i have several "ultimate dream jobs," and marine biologist/oceanographer/aquatic-treasure-hunter (that's a thing, right? Is definitely among them. But not the kind that's cooped up in some lab buried in research, the kind that actually. Is that not the coolest thing you've ever heard? Friday, J...

the thing is...: the first time i ran away.
http://alexisalegate.blogspot.com/2012/02/first-time-i-ran-away.html
Wednesday, February 1, 2012. The first time i ran away. I like m. ward. he's got this great, raspy voice that doesn't really fit with how you'd imagine him to look. and his music is fun and thoughtful. and his videos are always beautiful. I just discovered this one: " the first time i ran away" from his upcoming album a wasteland companion. Due for release this april. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The big blue in black and white. The first time i ran away. Saint louis, missouri. Hyperbole and a Half.

the thing is...: i'll never let go, jack (white)!
http://alexisalegate.blogspot.com/2012/04/ill-never-let-go-jack-white.html
Thursday, April 26, 2012. I'll never let go, jack (white)! First of all, YEEEES. Second of all, holy. crap! Third of all, is anyone even remotely surprised that jack white is ripping music a new one. With his first solo album? I seriously doubt it. Is all i dreamed of, hoped for, and more. it's on jack's own label, third man records. Out of nashville, tn. this is track 8, "i'm shakin," which is a little willie john. The running theme of the album is a little darker though, (which you totally don't at all.

Full disclosure: i got a week long trial for a free subscription and literally spent a whole day downloading any music available on the site that even remotely tickled my auditory fancy.] i reeaally like these guys. i think if the avett brothers and the head and the heart had a music baby, it might sound a bit like them. just real honest, lovely, tugs-at-your-heartstrings tunes.

The tivoli theatre near my house is showing all of the oscar-nominated shorts, and a couple of nights ago, my roommate and i went and saw the animated nominees. for once i will actually be able to root for which animated short i want to win this year. aaaand it's this one. The fantastic flying books of mr. morris lessmore. It's by moonbot studios and after barely scratching the surface of their website ( http:/ moonbotstudios.com/. Which shows a operation being viewed in a su...

Thursday, February 23, 2012. The big blue in black and white. Mark Under Breaking Wave. Once again, i stumbled upon. The website, brain pickings. Kimi Werner and Dolphins #1. Wayne levin is a professional photographer, and recently published a collection of his works, called akule. His stuff is incredible. he shoots underwater in black and white, and who knew the great big blue would look so phenomenal in grey tones?

Friday, December 23, 2011. The black keys TOTALLY delivered. I love the black keys. like, really love them. this is their first single from their new album el camino.

Dance up on me. Friday, December 16, 2011. Welp here we are.
