Here’s a playlist to help you plow through the afternoon.

At this time in 1950, Sammy Kaye’s “Harbor Lights” was at the top of the Billboard Charts. Also incredibly fitting for a very special birthday today.

Bringing back memories of ballet recitals and tutus, I took in the Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre’s “Hank Williams” at the McPherson Playhouse last night. The show is probably a lot like Hank’s life, toe-tapping, sing along, laugh out loud, melancholy. The cast is phenomenal (some local), the musical talent inspiring and the theatre is as pretty as it ever was. Dim the lights, please. Running until August 15th.

The Broken Strings play at Darcy’s Pub in Victoria every Monday night. Take the opportunity to view the talent of band members Adam Kittredge, Antonia Freybe-Smith (both of Jet’s Overhead), Ryan Clayton, Tom Salter and Ghosty Boy – for free. Check them out on MySpace.
And the bar is the perfect height for longer exposure shots…

Top of the charts in July 1950 was “Mona Lisa” by Nat King Cole. How very appropriate for my original artistic inspiration’s birthday.

I would imagine that the vast majority of designers out there listen to music while they’re pumping out brilliant ideas. Music helps me settle in, keeps me focused and can jazz me up or calm me down, depending on the project. White Stripes vs. Morcheeba.

It’s known that music can heighten your senses. This is a reminder to turn up the volume. Your life deserves a soundtrack.
When I’m not tuned into XM Radio I like to hit up Jango or Last.fm, both free internet radio stations, or Musicovery, interactive webRadio with a cool interface. What’s keeping you on task and inspired?

I dropped into Sitka yesterday and saw a copy of the Rifflandia 2009 Festival Guide. It’s a looker. Anyone who has a passion for print media will get a kick out of the description on the website, “The festival mags have arrived, freshly inked. They smell like crayons, and new school supplies… perfect for all you back to schoolers. You can smell it from across the street… mmm waxy. Come and grab one from the HQ (523 Pandora).” The pages have a nice tooth and matte finish and there’s great use of typography and colour. I’d love to give credit to the designer, but the only reference I can find is to the “scum boys”. Obviously not cool enough to know who they are.

The website is totally worth checking out. There’s a blog roll on the left to follow, music to listen to and the schedule/lineup to check out. There’s also great discounts and free stuff to be had at local businesses for those with festival wristbands. Better get one. Festival starts September 24th at various venues in Victoria.
