Pater Barker’s Empty Spaces
By Patrick Algrim | Mar 11, 2010 | 0 CommentsPeter Barker’s Empty Spaces collection is pretty great. Why you might ask? Because I think it’s beautiful that someone goes out and finds composition anywhere. At anytime in our world there may be some lonely desk just hanging out in the middle of some forgotten space, and that my friend is composition. What a wonderful outlook on life.
Amaxing.fm

But Amaxing.fm is now bookmarked and visited often. New music is added almost on the daily, and I always find something I like.
Ray Barbee
By Patrick Algrim | Feb 27, 2010 | 0 CommentsJazz that will do wonders for your soul
Ray Barbee is a professional skateboarder. But one with what I feel is an extremely large musical talent. I’m a big fan of jazz and blues. This urban style of jazz feels right at home to me. Almost a Brazilian inspired Bebel Gilberto feel with hip-hop breakdowns near the chorus line. I love this song and all of Ray Barbee’s musical works.

Meet Ford & Andrew & Kyle
By Patrick Algrim | Feb 25, 2010 | 0 CommentsMeet 3! Slobs. Ford Archbold, Andrew Doheny, & Kyle Kennelly. Three young surfers on the journey of life, art, and doing what they love. I truly enjoy reading the blog these slobs put out. Because it’s not only a documentation of their life (along with some shred stick footage), but a vision of how I hope our younger generations will continue to grow. Keep on my young fellows, and don’t loose sight of the big dream.
Interactive objects on the desk of Danse Dance
By Patrick Algrim | Feb 24, 2010 | 0 CommentsA pretty interesting idea, an interactive desk. Danse Dance is a loop machine of interactive objects. Each key on your qwerty keyboard will activate a repetitive motion of one of the objects on the desk. Press multiple keys to make a storyboard of loops. Completely interesting idea by Julien Vallée.
Of a real unknown origin

Happened to run into this photograph. If you read frequently, you know I am obsessed with the 1960’s – 1980’s. Take a moment, stop your day, and look at this photograph. Really look at it. Feel it. Enjoy how amazingly rad it is that someone took this shot at this very moment. If you were with these guys, would you still hold up your camera or look for something that fired something other than shutters?
