It’s good to be James Jean. Out comes a series of wine bottles with his labels on them. I took the photo at casa de Jean. They were sitting on his counter. Here’s a link to the places where you can get more info on the wines. It’s all very high society. Gladly, we downed the wines completely, and I think the Shiraz was best. Here’s three links to them. 1, 2, and 3. Get it at: Suru.Fuckin’ Joe Hahn has everything. And the insider tip. James Jean did the music.

A little while ago now, I went to the Schindler House in Los Angeles. It's a pretty cool place. The entrance is a long walk way. Notice how it's not paved, there's no grass to see, it's just dirt and a high hedge. It's simple and it's sort of a long path to see what the place has to offer. It's not instant gratification. Here's the link to the site.

A little while ago now, I went to the Schindler House in Los Angeles. It’s a pretty cool place. The entrance is a long walk way. Notice how it’s not paved, there’s no grass to see, it’s just dirt and a high hedge. It’s simple and it’s sort of a long path to see what the place has to offer. It’s not instant gratification. Here’s the link to the site. This is the view of the house from the back of the lot. It’s a huge property. It was built in 1922. If you take a look at these pictures, you could believe it, but at the same time, you’d think that it’s modern. That’s what’s cool about mid-century style design, although 1922 seems really early to be doing work like this. It’s also definitely Japanese inspired. There’s no real second floor, this is one of tow decks that’s sort of like an observation spot. The high windows are nice, yet this house is pretty dark during the day. This is the entrance of the house. Two families lives here back in the day. I wonder how that worked out. The bamboo is under control. I wonder how this is done, since bamboo loves to grow rampant. This is sort of the backyard of the house. I like the series of squares and rectangles. The walkway is the key I think, linking everything together. That’s a view straight back. This is what the front of the house looks like. The weird thing about walking around here is that you don’t really know what the house looks like. If you had a pad of paper, you couldn’t really draw it easily from memory. That’s door #2 I assume for family #2. This is walkway #2.

It's nice to see music videos once in a while, and instead of MTV, it's now an online quantity. I've mentioned Death Cab for Cutie before a while ago. Nick Harmer has always been great to us. Here's that post.
here's the link to the new Death Cab Video. It's animated and interesting.
Directed by Walter Robot, a.k.a. the team of multimedia artist Bill Barminski and writer Christopher Louie.
