Office scooters, LPs,  crusty keyboard, cereal bowl,  aeron chair, overly designed desk lamp, stack of note pads, empty Shiner bottles  hidden behind iMac, hanging SXSW interactive badge,  trap door to MCJ catacombs(it’s where we hide the real talent,) ouch a paper cut! … 100K house poster,  texas monthly and beirut

Delta Spirit live on Morning Becomes Eclectic, KCRW

Although N.A.S.A’s Anti debut, The Spirit of Apollo (released on February 17, 2009), prominently features Brazilian funk, it also brings together a diverse group of sounds from across the spectrum of musical genres. They were created when American Sam Spiegel (Squeak) and Brazilian Ze Gonzales (Zegon) came together to create a record. The two met one day at a party, began working together in the studio the next day and spent parts of the next five years recording, mixing and producing the album.

They’ve collaborated with, David Byrne, Lykke Li, Del tha Funkee Homosapien, The Cool Kids and Santigold just to name a few.

Check ‘em out this Friday March 6, 2009 on Last Call with Carson Daly.

Listen to them on Myspace

Someone told me once that I had a good voice. Thank you! All I can really add is that if you have something to truly sing about, if you got a fire burning in your chest and you find the only way you can put out that fire is through song, you can bet your ass its gonna sound amazing….

I’m NOT talking about me… I’m taking about the greats (Just of the top of my head)… Nina Simone, Jeff Buckley, Mississippi John Hurt, Woody Guthrie, Huddie Ledbetter, John Lennon, Paul McCartney Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, Van Morrison, The Carter Family, David Bowie, Robert Plant, Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain, Jimmy Hendrix, Nick Drake, Al Green, Donovan and last but not least Leonard Cohen.

Charles and Ray Eames are among the finest American designers of the 20th Century. They are best known for their groundbreaking contributions to architecture, furniture design, industrial design and manufacturing, and the photographic arts. In addition to their design work, the Eameses were also prolific filmmakers.

We’ll be showing a selection of their short films that reflect the breadth and depth of their interests and the integrity of their vision. The event will last approximately two hours.
