Taking a break from the often infuriating process of trying to cram an ungodly amount of text into a (relatively) small amount of space by posting on the ol’ blog. To continue the inspirations posts, I wanted to highlight a playlist that I made over the summer. 

Even though I don’t have a musical background, music is, perhaps, one of my biggest inspirations. I am always listening to music, especially when I’m working, so it’s only natural that the nuances from what I’m hearing manifests itself into my artwork. I have a lot of old standbys (Spoon, duh) and a tendency to listen to the same handful of groups over and over and over again until I find something new. To give you an idea of my mindset at the time, here’s my summer 2008 playlist (which used to be on muxtape before it went belly up):

1. Health – “Heaven”
2. Holy Fuck – “Korock”
3. The Octopus Project – “Porno Disaster”
4. Black Moth Super Rainbow – “Vietcaterpillar”
5. Aphex Twin – “Fingerbib”
6. Crystal Castles – “Air War”
7. Modeselektor – “Hasir”
8. Dabrye – “Hyped-Up Plus Tax”
9. TRS-80 – “Tickle Fingers”
10. Add N to (X) – “Metal Fingers in my Body”
11. Justice – “One Minute to Midnight”

Watch out for a zip file of this mix tonight, once I get back home!
