Occasional Thoughts
I'm always thinking, and sometimes I'm even writing.

Guess Who's Marching in Manhattan?!
I love you Jes. I can't wait to make another video like this, only with New York in every background!Every Time I Watch This I Pretend I Can Sing Like Finn
I know, another video. But as I spend most of my typing energy writing papers for class, all that's left for an occasional thought is a video.
This Will Always Be One of the Best Songs Ever
Now if only I could sing like Ewan McGregor.
Best Cover Band Ever?
I've always been a fan of good cover bands, especially when they recreate a beloved song in a potentially more beloved way.From Lady Gaga to Beyoncé to Michael Jackson and more, this video song duo creates innovate renditions of a variety of songs. And the beauty of video songs is that what you hear is what you see. Want more? Check out their youtube page.What other songs should they cover?So Much to Blame
This is the man who inspired me to hijack my dad's accordion.Zach Vinson = amazing.(Along with Zach's singing/piano playing, Brad's filming and Courtney's acting are fantastic!)The End of Publishing
There has always been and will always be "new media." Whether the words you read, the images you see, the ideas you experience come via a printed page or a pixelated screen, there was a time when this media was the "new" media.There was a world before the iPad and Kindle and the iPhone and twitter and blogs and facebook. There was a world before Blue Ray and DVD and VHS and movie theaters. There was a time before newspapers and printed books and the option of hardcover or softcover.All of this is/was "new media." And I believe that all of it will continue, never leaving anything behind entirely but rather perpetually transcending and including as we collectively move forward to the ever emerging world of "new media."The end of publishing? Far from it. From a different perspective, it is an entirely new beginning.Beautiful Things.
After their provocatively true song with a provocatively humorous video, I was intrigued.But now Gungor has proven that they are more than whimsical lyricists with their latest album, Beautiful Things. If nothing else, listen to the title track. And their acoustic rendition below.
