Happy 5th, swissmiss!

Hmmm, you’re thinking to yourself, what the hell is all this about? Check it out here, over at swiss-miss.com

When I was walking around DUMBO last summer, I wondered where her studio was. I’m not actually sure how her blog ended up in my list, but it’s been there for a really long time. I check it everyday. It’s often a source of very cool discoveries and smiles. Be sure to say YAY for swissmiss’ 5th in the Flickr pool!

Pretty cool stuff from Sean Stiegemeier, via io9. I recommend watching this in HD full screened. Here’s what he had to say:

So I saw all of these mediocre pictures of that volcano in Iceland nobody can pronounce the name of, so I figured I should go and do better. But the flights to get over took forever as expected (somewhat). 4 days after leaving I finally made it, but the weather was terrible for another 4. Just before leaving it got pretty good for about a day and a half and this is what I managed to get.

Wish I had more time. I missed all the cool Lightning and the Lava of the first eruption. But I figure this will just be a trial run for another day.

I am of course accepting sponsors to send me back there for more please…!! haha

I totally agree with one of the commenters of this youtube video; Portishead shouldn’t be fucked with. But this is a pretty decent remix of Nylon Smile that I stumbled upon completely by accident.

I remember seeing them at the Metropolis in 1998. It was pretty much a once in a lifetime kinda thing, and I was pretty lucky to get a ticket.

Nylon Smile

I’d like to laugh at what you said
but I just can’t find a smile
I wonder why you can’t
I struggle with myself
hoping I might change a little
hoping that I might be someone I wanna be

looking out I want to know someone might care
looking out I want a reason to be there
cause I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve you
and I don’t know what I’ll do without you

looking out I want to know some way might clear
looking out I want a reason to repair
cause I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve you
and I don’t know what I’ll do without you

I can’t see nothing good
and nothing is so bad
I never had a chance
to explain exactly what I meant.
