The Best Performers on the Atlanta Leg of Vans Warped Tour 2017: Our Last Night
julio 14, 2017 6:50In late June, I had the amazing opportunity to see some of my favourite bands live on the Atlanta leg of the Vans Warped Tour 2017 music festival. Most of the bands were old favourites, but there was one new love that caught my eye.
Our Last Night is technically not a new band. Active since 2004, the rock band was signed to one of the few record labels I followed as a teen: Epitaph Records.
Yet, I didn’t know Our Last Night existed until Spotify threw them into my daily mix playlist, earlier this year. It was love at first listen.
So when I saw them included on the Vans Warped Tour ATL lineup, I knew I had to see them. Here’s why they were the best live show at Warped Tour this year.

The sets on Vans Warped Tour are usually 25 to 30 minutes, so…

Ilustrações de Spencer Wilson
julio 14, 2017 5:15Mais um artista, adepto das duas rodas, que dedica parte do seu trabalho à sua paixão pelas bicicletas.
As ilustrações seguintes são dedicadas ao ciclismo de competição e têm como inspiração as grandes competições velocipédicas mundiais, O Giro de Itália, a espanhola La Vuelta, e a mítica Volta a França.
Em parceria com outro amigo lançou o livro “The Modern Mamil” com algumas curiosidades, anedotas e explicações humoristicas sobre algumas das palavras mais usadas no ciclismo.
Com mais uma sugestão de leitura para praia e esplanada despeço-me com amizade até uma próxima publicação.

Famous Faces: London’s National Portrait Gallery
julio 14, 2017 5:14

Just off Leicester Square in London, and down a bit, there’s a fancy door with three busts over the door. They are the figures of the biographers and historians who founded the museum housed inside, a museum whose patron is the Duchess of Cambridge, and which houses only one kind of painting, in a multitude of styles. The National Portrait Gallery.

The National Portrait Gallery is one of those institutions that feels so British in it’s quirkiness. The gallery only contains portraits, with the focus being on the status of the sitter rather than the fame of the artist or the quality of the work. As you wander through, you’re surrounded by all different kinds of people who have achieved many different things in many different fields, all…

An Understanding Heart (1/6): divided we fail
julio 14, 2017 5:13. . . . .the people are wandering in the paths of delusion, bereft of discernment to see God with their own eyes, or hear His Melody with their own ears. Thus have We found them, as thou also dost witness.
Thus have their superstitions become veils between them and their own hearts and kept them from the path of God, the Exalted, the Great.
(Bahá’u’lláh: Tablet of Ahmad)
. . . . consciousness will be referred to as consensus trance; the hypnotist will be personified as the culture. The “subject,” the person subjected to this process, is you.
(Charles Tart: Waking Up – page 85)
My current sequence of posts on subliminal influences makes it seem timely to republish this sequence that last saw the light two years ago. I have changed the numbering from before. The posts will be interwoven with the current sequence.
