as the numbers rise...

came back to find that I have 5 new followers on Tumblr… quite an odd thing to see just cuz I haven’t posted anything in over 3 weeks… I am quite flattered though… it seems people have faith that I would eventually return and post/produce some interesting content worth following…

well they were right. I’ll be posting some new photos that I took with my Holga and also some amazing shots and stories about my trip to Costa Rica… (aswell as continue to parasitically reblog stuff I find interesting from other Tumblrs)

stay tuned for more…

I finally saw The Dark Knight on IMAX tonight. And while I’d love to talk about it, I don’t know that I can. I’m not really sure how to at this point but perhaps I will soon. Though it’s not a movie with an especially sad ending, I left the theatre with such an intensely empty yet heart-wrenching feeling. There was only one actor who performed like a true master of his craft, the others were simply good at best. But like I said, I don’t know how to talk about this movie yet, other than that I give it more weight than anything I’ve seen in a very, very long time. Some things and their circumstances affect you more than others, I suppose. If I were to give a word to the experience before, during, and after seeing this movie, it would be “chilling.”

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!! and its not going to come out in Switzerland until the 21st of August… no, that’s not a typo or a mistake I really do mean AUGUST!!! I think I’m gonna go batshit crazy…

(no pun intended)

Hello Tokyo - “Girls” (Beastie Boys cover)

At Tuneage, we’re lucky enough to receive emails from people around the world who have fun, interesting music projects. One such project comes from Spanish pop/electronic site Buffet Libre in the form of their latest project, Rewind.

Rewind takes current bands and has them covering and remixing their favorite 80s songs. There are currently over 60 tracks from bands like Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Dragonette, Hello Tokyo, the Cloud Room, and a ton more covering classics like “The Safety Dance”, “Take On Me”, and “Blue Monday”. It’s a great project idea that oozes nostalgia for those of us who have a soft spot for the 80s.

One of my favorites so far is Hello Tokyo’s cover of the Beastie Boys’ classic, “Girls”. The cover doesn’t stray too far from the original, but still manages to feel fresh (so if you liked the original, and I trust that you did, I think you’ll like this too). Once you’re done with this, head over to Buffet Libre and check out the other 59 tracks; I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

I’m really digging this song! Especially when they mix is with N*E*R*D…

CSS - “How I Became Paranoid”

You may remember CSS from their iPod touch ad, or you might remember them from their raucous and edgy self-titled debut. Well, CSS released their sophomore album, Donkey, this past week, and although I feel like they’ve lost a bit of the edge, they kept the same upbeat feel I know and love.

This track, “How I Became Paranoid”, should give you a sense of what I’m talking about with the mildly-clubby synths behind the more accessible sound found on the album. Fans of CSS should feel right at home with this track, a great Saturday driving song that sports a chorus that I can’t seem to get out of my head.

This is one very very SICK song!!!!

Adios a Suissa. Bienvenido a Costa Rica!

In case your Spanish isn’t so great that says “goodbye to Switzerland, welcome to Costa Rica”. Tomorrow I embark on what I hope to be an amazing eco adventure trip through the beautiful rainforests of Costa Rica.

I will be spending one week hiking through the jungle, one week living in a village of indiginous people in the heart of the jungle doing service work then 2 weeks of surfing, rafting and hiking on a volcano.

I know… it sounds unreal! I’m pretty excited. I’m gonna try and take as many pics/vids as I can. So expect to see some great stuff here in less than a month.

I’m going to be completely off the grid for the most part so you won’t see much from me on Tumblr or much anywhere else. Although I’m going to try and do some mobile twitter posts when I can find phone signal. So look in the sidebar of my Tumblr page from time to time to see what I’m up to or just go to twitter.com/alxtreme .

Peace and love to everyone and catch you all on the flip side!

-Alx
