OK Go!

22, Apr 2010

Yesterday, I was catching up on a backlog of Sound Opinions podcasts from Chicago Public Radio. On the March 19th episode in which Jim and Greg explore synth-pop, they had a great interview with Damien of the band OK Go. Damien talked about how their music videos went viral and how their desire to keep [...]

Pomplamoose

17, Mar 2010

I just discovered Pomplamoose though Youtube. Their remakes of famous songs are super-inventive and fun, and their original songs are great, too. Check them out on myspace. I though you might enjoy them, too. My favorite is their take on Beyonce’s Single Ladies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIr8-f2OWhs I just downloaded their original album on iTunes, and it’s great. [...]

8mm One was a success

23, Jan 2010

This past Thursday we held our first evening of a new Laughing Tree sponsored event, ’8mm: Owl Bus Vintage Cinema,’ and it was lots of fun. (for more event info and a map, click on that link) I’ve been into emulating vintage film looks with my digital photography work for a while now, trying to [...]

Incredibly Creative Sia

24, Oct 2009

So my brother was just mentioning a hugely creative artist that we needed to check out today. If you aren’t acquainted yet, I’d like to introduce you as well. Meet Sia. She’s a wacky Australian pop singer with great songs and some of the most creative music videos I’ve ever seen. This first video, Breathe [...]

Mind-boggling animation by Blu and David Ellis

1, Oct 2009

Earlier this year, I came across this video created by Blu somewhere or other, and was completely blown away. I’d never seen anything quite like it, and it boggled my mind to think of how much time, energy and imagination must have been involved in the production of a wall-painted animation such as this: MUTO [...]

Ira Glass on the dangers of good taste

30, Sep 2009

We’re always interested in better understanding the creative process and in ways to move beyond the inevitable roadblocks that come one’s way when trying to make something beautiful and good. It’s not an easy road at times (I had a flat tire for several years, myself), so that’s why words of encouragement from those who’ve [...]

Daedelus LA Nocturne

29, Sep 2009

I came across this Daedelus video a while back and just loved both the song, and the video’s fantastically creative blend of psychedelia, retro digital fetishism, b-movie creepiness and 80′s cheese. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do: So there it is. Hope you like it. -Adam

What does your iPod say about you?

29, Sep 2009

I’ve always been curious about my friends’ various tastes in music. With some friends, I find that we have been rocking out to the same tunes even though we haven’t been in touch for months and years- true musically kindred souls. With other friends, songs that light up all my neurons and send me into [...]

What is Laughing Tree, anyway?

22, Sep 2009

We had lunch today with Sam Davidson of Cool People Care (yeah, I know we’ve mentioned him a lot lately… he’s cool.). He helped us wrestle with the questions, “What exactly is Laughing Tree, anyway? What are we trying to do?” I thought you might have the same question, so let me share some things [...]
