Yesterday’s David Bowie sesh has come to an end. It was like listening to a soundtrack for a kitchy futuristic movie where everyone is wearing silver spandex and crazy shoulder spikes— amusing for a day, not sure how much longer I could maintain my enjoyment.
Today:
2007 Alive— Daft Punk
Aladdin Sane— David Bowie
OK. so… I got distracted from KOL by Le Mouv’ Radio.
But, this morning I was totally diggin’ Aha Shake Heartbreak. It was the perfect listen for my current sitch (aka not feeling too well)— the album is feel good, but not so fast paced that my-under-the-weather-self couldn’t deal. I even added two songs to my yes playlist: The Bucket and Slow Night, So Long.
Aha Shake Heartbreak— Kings of Leon
Album of the Day: Across the Universe Soundtrack.
Here goes Day II.
It was Abbey Road today, and I was loving it. Good start to a hopefully illuminating exploration of my iTunes.

“Thinking with the body— or somatic knowing— is key to the crossing over into each of the arts disciplines, and provides a meaningful connection to other disciplines within the curriculum. Somatic knowing opens the doors of expressive communication, and non-verbal avenues for making and communicating meaning— those very aspects of learning that futurists believe should be enhanced in our world, culture and schools today, such as critical, imaginative and creative thinking; intellectual flexibility; lifelong learning; and whole-person and trans-disciplinary education. Education should not be based solely on the use of numbers or the eloquent regurgitation of factual information using linguistic-based or information-technology-based knowledge alone. Education should provide a central role for those experiences that move us and reach the deepest part of our interior world— our human spirit— which is liberated through the integration of visual, spatial, aural and bodily-kinesthetic ways of knowing. Through the arts, we understand multi-modality “in a new key.”
“I do not see business that has creativity at its center as a simple blending of the traditional military way of structuring and managing with “softer” elements. I see it as a complete reworking of the priorities of a business. When CEOs limit themselves to the hard, tough-sounding talk of the bottom line or efficiency or productivity, and when they constantly focus on competition, they encourage sameness and conformist thinking. The tougher the talk, the safer and more predictable the products and the actions.
We put the “soft” stuff at the center and grow the business around people. I believe strongly that a place that’s safe for ideas is a place that’s safe for people. It’s a revolutionary reorganization of the same elements, and when you prioritize for creativity, you get an increase in efficiency and productivity as well as the bottom line.
