Communications Masterclass: QA Testing
In my years of owning an iPhone, the worst mistake that I ever made as the manager of multiple social media accounts was to update both Twitter and Instagram to their latest (current) iterations—Twitter 6.0 and Instagram 5.0.0. It was bad enough when Twitter removed support for viewing Instagram photos within their app. Now, I’m…
#fireyourinterns: July 24, 2013
Nice grammar.
Abstrakt von München
It’s 7 AM. I am riding alone on a 57-person shuttle bus through the city of Munich, making my way to work for the day. On the radio, Humphries Singers’ “Kansas City” plays. The whole thing is slightly macabre. Then “Kansas City” gives way to “Hungry Eyes.” The moment is lost.
Review: Gob, “Muertos Vivos”
A huge departure from the sound that got them to where they were. Very polar in nature; the first half and second half sound like they’re part of two albums. The first is a heavy affair where all of the songs can sort of blend together, and doesn’t produce much memorable fare outside of “We’re…
Review: Fitz and the Tantrums, “More Than Just A Dream” (Deluxe)
Decent sophomore effort from a band whose first album was a game-changer in the world of blue-eyed soul. There’s no answer to “MoneyGrabber” on here, but “Out of My League” is a decent follow-up. Definite change in sound to something a little more poppy and synth-driven, with additional production thanks to their new major label…
Review: Bragging Rights 2
“Bragging Rights 2” makes me want to go out and drive. In the end, that’s exactly what it’s designed to do. Much like a skateboarding film for the aspiring skateboarder, or just about any promo film for that matter (especially their highlight work for race teams), it inspires by eschewing a lot of traditional narrative…
A Word on Today
I was supposed to leave Boston today for Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, for my first-ever Global X Games event. Obviously, that did not happen, although it had nothing initially to do with what happened at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. In a way, I’m thankful for that. Not because I wouldn’t rather be…
