Got to Get You Into My Life by The Beatles

It's tough for me to believe that anyone could go wro
ng with the Beatles, because I could listen to their entire catalogue over and over again (and have). But one of my favorite tracks from their 1966 album, Revolver has to be this one. Got to Get You Into My Life is so perfectly direct and passionate. It's like seeing your dream girl and instantly letting your mind flash forward to consider how perfect it would be - you just have to meet her. With that kind of excitement in the mix, it certainly helps that you can belt this tune out with a lot of enthusiasm.


Silvia by Miike Snow

A slow but motivated tune, Silvia joins a long list of great songs about a woman's name. Miike Snow's self-titled debut album has a really cool sound in general. Modern, synth-riffed, and catchy, with good hooks, and singable lyrics throughout - but for me, Silvia is the real standout. It's a cool mix of frustration, heartbreak, and acceptance.


Always Love by Nada Surf

A mellow introduction transforms into a well-messaged indie rock track in Always Love. The chorus 'Always love. Hate will get you every time' seems to ring more and more true with each listen. It holds the distinction of being one of those rare songs that you can listen to when your sad or rock out to when your happy.

1999 Jaguar XJ8 Photo Collage

1999 JAGUAR XJ8

I doubt there's been any question about how much I love my car. I shot this collection of photos shortly after purchasing my Jaguar in June, and it seems like the euphoria has yet to wear off. Granted she's designed to get noticed, but for a guy like me who makes his living focused on creative details it's a pleasure taking the commute every morning in a car that not only holds my attention, but actually inspires me. That might sound hokey, but with dramatic detailing and performance to match, driving across town has never felt like less of a chore.
