BUT

The Beatles - Everyday Chemistry

The Beatles Never Broke Up… is a website with an album (Everyday Chemistry) that attempts to predict what the Beatles would sound like today if they hadn’t broken up. Whoever did it took it a step too far and created a monstrous farce about a parallel universe in which the Beatles never broke up and released this album. He has been watching too much TV, clearly.

But still – album consists of eleven remixes of late Beatles recordings and pieces of their respective careers post-Beatles.

Go download it. Give it a listen. It’s fun. It’s not perfect. It has a tendency to get stuck in loops, but there are some good moments that don’t mind being played a few times too many. If nothing else, there is a certainly a creatively dedicated mind behind the project that is fun to explore.

Ommwriter is the sexiest text editor I have ever come across. Hands down.

Before I say anything more – Ommwriter is currently only available on mac. Sorry for now, PC. Also, it is still in beta; thus, we can anticipate more exciting features [and probably PC support]…[and probably a price tag, unfortunately] before it is officially launched.

Like other “focus” driven apps, Ommwriter essentially hijacks your entire screen/system to shut out any unnecessary distractions while you maraud your brain for the right words. It does nothing to my second screen, currently, but I would like to assume that can be attributed to its beta status. The app is wonderfully designed in a minimalist fashion. The few buttons that allow the user to change the background or soothing ambient music/sounds disappear when there is no mouse movement, again, with the intention of helping you focus on your writing. I’m sure anybody could find a use for it, but it is ideal for creative writers.

Personally, I turned off the music and keyboard sounds as I am using it while writing lyrics with a guitar in my hands.

Mouse your way over to http://www.ommwriter.com to check it out for yourself.

Bottom line: Need a writer? Meet Martin.

My good friend JD (proprietor of J.Elquist) was approached by New York Magazine yesterday on the streets of Soho. He is an upcoming mogul in the world of men’s fashion, I’m certain. This is not the first time he’s been approached by the press admiring his style; it’s simply the biggest name that has done it thus far.

128kbps MP3s make me sad. Done. Stop sending me 128s.

If you haven’t come across it yet, check out fontsquirrel.com. Great collection of free fonts that are legitimately free for all use. They aren’t perfect, but they handpick the fonts which keeps the quality considerably higher than at such sites like dafont. They also have tools to help you get up and running with @font-face. So websites no longer need to put people to sleep typographically.

That’s right. I released a new single called Fond. It is available along with a bonus interlude called Flying Machines exclusively at Amie Street – http://amiestreet.com/music/bradley-kenyon/fond-single. Tell a friend.

Available 1 December. Stay tuned. More info at jelquist.com.
