HEAR: Nick Waterhouse ‘Holly’

I love discovering a new favourite artist and a new favourite song. And the winner this week is Nick Waterhouse.

Sometimes I get hung up trying to classify the music that I like to listen to... which is sad and a waste of your time and mine. 

You like what you like and that’s all that matters. 

There is something so uncool about this buy that he is ultimately very cool. A mix of jazz, lounge, r&b, soul and rock make up almost every song. Love the use of the stand up bass and the Hammond organ.

SEE: ‘Accepted’

This movie starring Justin Long could be writtren off as just another semi-teenage-comedy-pseudo-sex romp (minus the sex.) Fluff might be another way to describe it. But I have never felt that way about this film.

Quite the opposite really — I have always been somewhat inspired by ‘Accepted.’ And this scene, as contrived as you might think it is, is represenative of the idea that you can look at the work differently to get the things you want and need. 

As a matter fact, it is suggesting that you do have to tilt your head sideways a little to see things in a different light and to follow your dreams. 

Mister Gaines is right. Do we have to conform to the world that is presented to us or can we create our own universe and mold it to the way we want to live? 

Promo us. right Now
