Sufjan Stevens – Vesuvius
The Age of Adz (pronounced odds) is Sufjan Stevens’ first full-length collection of original songs since 2005’s civic pop opus Illinois. This new album is probably his most unusual, first, for its lack of conceptual underpinnings, and second, for its preoccupation with Sufjan himself. Vesuvius off of The Age of Adz pulls you in right [...]
Lemolo
Lemolo followed me on twitter this last week and I noticed they were local to Seattle so I decided to check them out. When I first hit play I was honestly skeptical when a extremely simplistic electronic beat started. In hopes that it would get better I waited to see if it would build but [...]

Analog Alarm Clock
When I was fifteen I had one of those old school black rectangular alarm clocks that sounded like nails scrapping across a chalk board. It drove me mad until one day I woke up and threw it across the room. Apparently designer Jamie McMahon has had the same experience and decided to make a solution. [...]

I’m not sure how many people will actually play this but the concept is great. Chromaroma leverages the obvious while to many times people try to reinvent the whee. Chromaroma leverages exiting habitual actions that people do everyday and turns it into a mobile game. To find those habits or routines and leverage them [...]

Read MoreEastpack Human Tetris and Stuff
If you’re out of ideas have people jump off a building into a human Tetris formation then chop them up. At least that’s what Eastpack Play did in their new commercial. Honestly, even though it was kind of weird it grabbed my attention and got me to blog about it so here’s to you [...]
Read MoreIKEA 365: One Commercial Every Day For A Year
The IKEa 365 was put together in Holland by Lemz to show how the big box store isn’t just a commodity. The Advertising conecpt is great but I’m not quite sold yet that IKEA is fresh and cool.
Read More3LiveShop – Online Shopping with a Face
3Liveshop is a new touch technology that almost mirrors some of the technology we saw when the minority report was released in 2002. The back-end part of this technology is really the most interesting part, how they made it and the interface that the sales person uses. It’s going to be interesting to what brand [...]

Probably one of the best ideas that I’ve seen so far this year. BlablabLAB used open Kinect to do an ingenious gorilla marketing campaign in Barcelona. Using the motion and inferred track of the Kinect with a 3D copier they were able to create an engaging installation that wowed the locals. It’s going to be [...]
