Engraved Moleskins

I've been debating whether to get one of these or not.  I wouldn't really use a notebook just for everyday purposes, but i have rationalized it as ART!  There engraved by a laser that burns off the outer laser of that noble and durable stuff moleskine. There are some pretty cool videos on the engraving process at the website.  They have a whole line of artist inspired designs that you can choose from.  The design on top is one of the artist designed ones.  The other option is that you can upload a picture of whatever you want and they will engrave it onto the moleskins.  Thats what I did for the second book.  My parents needed a new address book so I found a picture of them that I liked and cropped it to fit the specs specified on the website, in person it looks better then in the picture.  For my next purchase from the website I want to spend some time to design something of my own.

DJ BC

Due to my recent infatuation with Philip Glass, and my dire procrastination from many papers and much studying, I have stumbled across DJ BC.  He is crazy, my stumbling occurred when I was looking for Dr. Dog in my Itunes library.  I was intrigued by the never listened to album, Glassbreak, a play off of Glass' Glassworks.  In Glassbreak, DJ BC mashes Philip glass with all different kinds of hiphop.  I could only name the Beastie Boys, but I recognized other songs.  As for the Philip glass side of things, there were songs used from Glassworks, Mishima, Dracula, Einstein on the Beach, and my beloved Satyagraha.  The full list of which songs were mixed is here.  I can't imagine that it was difficult to match up the beats especially since Philips Glass's music can often be used as a clock, but it was a fun, interesting album.  After listening to the album a few times I checked out his website, www.DJBC.net.  It seems that at one point in time you could download all of his mixed albums, but the lawyers seemed to have made there presence clear.  However, under singles you can stream many of his mixes.  Some of his singles to check out are Champ in Black, any of the Promiscuous Girl mixes are great and of course the mix with my other love The White Stripes.  Also the cover is really cool.
