Britney Spears Drops New Video

Britney Spears reigns supreme with her first single, "3", off her upcoming album, Britney Spears: The Singles Collection. Despite the controversial topic of its lyrics, an ode to threesomes, the chart-topping hit has managed to become the first song since 2006 to debut as #1 on the Billboard charts. With that kind of momentum, you'd expect an amazing Britney-esque video, as the likes of "Toxic" and "Womanizer", but I think it's cute, but a little lackluster. Watch the official new music video below and see for yourself.

Introduction to Owl City

I love being introduced to new music by friends, especially when they're as great as Owl City. Owl City, a one-manned project by Adam Young, is known for its happy-go-lucky tunes and synthesized sounds. It has often been compared to the likes of The Postal Service, but once you hear them, you'll notice the unique uplifting lilt absent from some of its contemporaries.

Their latest album, Ocean Eyes, has just dropped! So I've included a few notable tracks as an introduction to the wonderful artistry that is Owl City. And in fact, it is from one of these songs that I got the inspiration for the name of this blog.

Enjoy!

Owl City - Rainbow Veins


Owl City - Fireflies


Owl City - Designer Skyline


Owl City - Hello Seattle


Owl City - Strawberry Avalanche

Dynamic Typography

According to the well-respected Wikipedia, typography is "the art and technique of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs." I actually have a lot of respect for those who do typography well. They not only have to present words artistically, but also to do so in an attractive, entertaining fashion. Below is a few of the ones that I find are done exceptionally well.
