Atisha

The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest worth is self-mastery.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.
The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
The greatest effort is not concerned with results.
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.

Childhood Dreams(mp3)- Nelly Furtado

Not really a song you would expect from me huh? Nelly Furtado? Although it is sung as a love song,Nelly performs this song as a woman who has just realized exactly where she is in her life, and what needed to happen to change her path to one of love rather than fear... "I need to be ignored until I wake up to the beauty that is you"...it is when you really wake up, and see the world through a child's eye again that you understand the freshness, the possibilities of innate goodness, and beauty in the simple things in life. This awakening releases everything that holds you back...like fear, which is the sponsoring thought that stopped my writing, slowed my ambitions, and allowed me to become jaded by my surroundings.
I've finally woken up.

Gosh

I've been slacking again...oops.
I'm going to take this opportunity to make amends by presenting you with a masterpiece.
I have some reallllly talented friends. I mean really, super duper talented, inspirational, creative, brilliant friends.

This is a music video created by Static Revenger Presents Love Song Surprise "Satellite".


Inspired by Tron, 2001 Space Odyssey, Star Wars, Barbarella; Queen of the Galaxy.

Freaking Brilliant...the song, the video, everything. Please pass it on...spread the good word.

Thanks!!

Scanners

Scanners are Dim Mak Records' genius signing from the UK. This female lead foursome features raucous lead singer Sarah, smokin hot rockstar lead guitarist Amina, and then two boys,who are great too, but these two grrrrrls create the refreshingly female take on what is considered the usually male dominated Alt rock/punk/new wave music genres. Their songs are brooding and beautiful in content and lyrics, yet presented to us in a deliciously sexy and epic electro-indie style. Already, remixers abroad are jumping at the chance to put their spin on Scanners, I personally like their music naked. I came across Scanners in the car driving to a meeting, it was on a CD of a podcast, but you can find it when you click the pic...



Let us take a listen...

Low Life (MP3)- Scanners (Myspace)

Here is the L.A Riots(myspace) remix of the same song...

Low Life L.A Riots remix (mp3)

I love the rap in it, it's pretty sassy, but completely irrelevant to the rest of the track. The remix itself is a bit repetitive,doesn't use enough of the original, and I hate the intro, but I would definitely dance to it. Found this one on the Keep It Fresh Blog.

my mom always told me sharing is caring.
