An amazing everything.

Holstee, a company that is dedicated to design with a conscience.

This is their quote.

"To deliver on this, we hold every design accountable for the impact it has for on all people, our planet and the product's quality. 10% of all Holstee revenue is used to empower entrepreneurs in the developing world through micro lending."

This is their manifesto.

Seven Saturdays any day of the week.

One of the EPs I have been anticipating the most for 2010, The Snowflakes That Hit Us Become Our Stars by Seven Saturdays, is now downloadable online, at a name-your-own-price. Not since the first time I heard Explosions in the Sky has such a richly emotional, mostly instrumental sound stirred up my insides in the way that these songs are responsible for reigniting right off the bat.

The Snowflakes... is Jonathan D. Haskell's second EP being released this year, preceding his journey from Los Angeles to Edinburg, where he has been working on his first full length album. The EP was recorded entirely in downtown Los Angeles with an impressive list of accompanying musicians : Lester Nuby (Verbena, Terra Naomi), Morgan Grace Kibby (M83), Mike Garson (David Bowie, Smashing Pumpkins), Wesley Precourt (Dave Stewart, Jenny Lewis) and Eric Heywood (The Pretenders, Ray LaMontagne). It was recorded, produced and mixed by Haskell and Daniel Farris (St. Vincent, The Black Pill.)

PS. Los Angelenos: Seven Saturdays will be playing at the ECHO CURIO in Echo Park on November 5. Hope to see you there!
