Coming Clean

All right. This is it.
When I need to turn the jets on and be Super Creato I crank up Prince, the old stuff.... and set to it. MAN, I LOVE WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING!!!!!
most days ;)

Which part is the coming clean? Prince or the enjoyment? :)

I love it too! :)

I just put it on Pandora and go to town! Don't have to worry about it. I love Pandora's Radio.

That's catchy for me. Muse, Queen, Lupe Fiasco, Arctic Monkeys, Nancy Sinatra, Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder.

Nothing gets the blood pumping in the morning than "Let's do The Time Warp, Again" cranked up to 11.

It's just a jump to the left... ;)

Turn up the techno for me. Paul Van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, Armin Van Buuren… any of the trance electronic stations on iTunes… I guess I like feeling like I'm in the middle of a night club.

I love how musical creativity inspires graphic creativity.

I used to do the blood pumping metal and rock as a teen, but the mellow stuff brings out better creativity for me, especially the electronic stuff. my music usually follows my mood rather than the other way around these days.

15 adults.
One cabin.
Lots of "refreshments".
Live music jammed by a few of the attendees.

Today's warm up pick is SLOAN.

At the moment, Chuck Berry's "Run Rudolph Run" as I design 3 Dog's Christmas Card. I will post later for a Christmas "critique".

I'm listening to SKY.fm's Christmas Channel on iTunes Radio these days...

I have really gotten hooked on Pandora. I have quite a few channels set up and it is nice because you can sort of change your channels to suit your current mood.

Not to mention I have almost 200Gb of MP3's on my hard drive, so if I really want to hear something specific, it is a couple clicks away...

At the moment, Mr K. Cobain, and missing what future creations he would have turned out.

Although the holidays ...well at least for a few days...I feel, as a creative, that we don't take days off...EVER. If we're not doing our "job" then we're busy working on something else. We never rest. We never cease creating.

Same bat cave, same bat channel every freakin' moment.

**edit** Oh yeah, and I LOVE IT!!!!!
