A talented friend posted this to her facebook today. It brought me back to appreciate what I think was one of the defining events for what crafted my particular love of music. Couldn’t help but want to share it with you today.
Oh it’s definitely the holiday season with this track…

You know how sometimes you are introduced to a personality on the web that you just fall in love with. There is some intrinsic quality in the eyes of the messenger that creates a bond with you, the viewer, on whatever adventures your new found lifelebrity leads you through.
Greg Sam is a lifelebrity, and while were fortunate to call him one of our closest of boys, his novelty as a journalist through his own personal travels is not reserved to only those who call him a friend.
If you are into blogs, and the lives of others, take time to tune into the photos, videos and tracks that play out in the document that is G Sam’s adventures. You can follow along with Greg at http://gregorysam.tumblr.com/ or on Youtube at www.youtube.com/gsam22
Travel safe G.

Photographer Shawn Mortensen (1966-2009) passed away last week. His death is mourned widely by photographers who called him “a kinetic force of optimism and seemingly limitless positive energy.”
Shawn, 43, traveled the world several times during his career as a photojournalist and artist and wherever he went he impressed. Shawn is known most for his wonderful portraits of artists, musicians and entertainers. His photographs include a stunning collection of popular heroes in a career spanning over twenty years. The collection includes photographs of Keith Haring, Tupac, Henry Rollins, James Brown, The Notorious BIG, Bjork, Jun Takahashi, Leo Fitzpatrick, Christopher Wool, Mark Gonzales, Ed Ruscha, Vivienne Westwood, The Bad Brains, Dash Snow, Grandmaster Flash, Neil Young, MIA, John Lee Hooker, Nigo, Sofia Coppola, Agnes B., Sonic Youth, The Beastie Boys, Keith Richards, Chloe Sevigny, The Foo Fighters, Everlast, Kraftwerk, Wu Tang Clan, and The Sex Pistols and many, many more.
