Halloween Light Show

For some people Halloween decorations consist of a few pumpkins and maybe some window clings.  On the other hand, there are those who completely deck their houses out with seizure-inducing, but wickedly awesome synchronized light shows.  This is definitely one of those people.

Back to the Future DeLorean | Universal Studios Hollywood

On a 2004 vacation to California, the entire trip was filled with visits to theme parks like Disneyland, Six Flags, Knott's Berry Farm and Universal Studios Hollywood. At Universal Studios Hollywood one of the highlights was seeing the DeLorean on display in front of the Back to the Future ride - an attraction that has since been replaced by the Simpsons.  

Inspired Singles: Paradise

Issue 25: Paradise by Coldplay

Today is the release date for Coldplay's brand new album, Mylo Xyloto.  To be perfectly honest, it's one of the few albums that I'm going out of my way to pick up a hard copy of this year because I'm just that pumped about it!

The single, Paradise embodies that signature Coldplay sound; ambient, driving, enthusiastic, thoughtful, poetic.  It, along with Every Teardrop is a Waterfall, have been perfect lead ins to what is sure to be another monumental album for the group.  It's been a while since I've been this charged about a release date, but it feels good to be so excited. 

When Viva la Vida was released in 2008 it felt significant because I had just started working with Stream Media (had really just got out of university) and went with my friend Julie to pick up the album.  In 2005 I remember going to get X&Y after listening to it constantly while I was driving around on my forklift as SF Scotts - a summer job I had between semesters at film school.  The stories continue, but I feel like I can remember going to get every Coldplay album and what I had going on at the time.

This is going to be a great week!
