What good would it do?

Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you?

 

Souljourner: A refreshing reminder of the Sh’ma

Hands down the best Jewish Reggae Rock I have ever heard.

Ask Hashem for mercy and he’ll throw you a rope

You’re looking for help from God you say he couldn’t be found

Searching up to the sky and looking beneath the ground

Like a King without his Crown

Souljourner: A refreshing reminder of the Sh’ma

Obadiah Parker’s, “Hey Ya”

Here’s another typography video that I think is great. This one with Obadiah Parker’s cover of Outkast’s, “Hey Ya”. I should also mention that I think that this cover may be the best cover ever of a song. I actually like this song so much that I just picked up Obadiah Parker’s, “Obadiah Parker’s Live” album of iTunes. The only other cover that I can think of that comes close (I may be showing my propensity for early 90’s music here) is The Smashing Pumpkin’s cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide“.

Typography as Art

In response to my friend CJ’s constant prompting, I am going to start making an concentrated effort to update more frequently. I still don’t have a lot to say, but I’ll pull a from the blogging bag of tricks and bring attention to some really cool things I see on other blogs.For the last couple of months, I’ve been seeing videos spring up around the internet that for lack of a better term are “typography music videos. The one I am including today is Jet’s, “Are you going to be my girl?” You only have to watch a few of these video’s to realize that they are all really drawing on each other for inspiration, but I find all the one’s that are well done to be engaging none-the-less.

Enjoy.
