These Decades That We Never Sleep

Hey guys. So I just finished another live mix, albeit a very short one this time. (Good for those with ADD!) It’s also a bit more dancey/electro-housey. Also, the name is swiped (”re-appropriated”) from a Terence Koh work of art, just FYI. Love that guy!

So yes, anyway, DL the mix by clicking the link below. And tracklisting is below as well!  And again, many thanks goes to Matt Pace for letting me use his setup and subjecting him to the numerous takes I had to do.  He really IS Mr. Nice Guy! <3

Hope you enjoy the tunes and it keeps ya dancin’ through the night, or in the shower, or whatever :)

Pet Project: The Savviness [dot]info

by alain on February 2, 2010

I’d like to introduce The Savviness. A project that with the help of some ShrugLife members wouldn’t be what it is today. The Savviness is a mobile-photo blog that we started. The goal of the site is to document the things we see everyday in our lives. The things range from ridiculous people, humor, art, and most importantly personal jokes; all attached with 1 liners for titles. The Savviness has taken great form and acts as a means of communication between our members. We now find ourselves having conversations via our photos. Video support is coming soon!

Our members are:
Alain D. (Myself)
Katerina S.
Marlon Oliva (ARQ)
Matt Pace (Maestro P)
Kristen Oshiro (K!0)
Wei Jerry Chen (DJ Fulltimefun)
Chrissy Leavell (mizzchriss)
Michael Schiano (mrcocochanel)
Matt Sleep

So, feel free to check us out at Thesavviness.info, It’s all in good fun.

Hide and Seek in Society…

by Full Time Fun on December 30, 2009


It is true that China’s economy is booming, and that  there is a growing middle class

rapidly filling that enormous  gap between the rich and poor.  However, prosperity

& success in today’s China is not without it’s price. The Rapid growth of industry means

rapid production of pollution & increase demand of overseas manufacturing equals a

decrease in suppliers in the states. The high cost of low prices at super mega stores are

becoming as big, as…well…Wal-Mart itself.

I guess that’s just how it goes. History will show that the balance of power will always

be in flux, and that the common man will always be the ones to endure for they are the

ones that fade  in to the background as time passes. That is what I take  from Liu Bolin’s

art, and no I won’t be going in dept because frankly the videos explain his invisibility

pretty damn clearly.

I don’t get around to go to galleries much but…

…if I did, and if I was in LA I would totally go to this. Ha! I know what you are thinking

…excuses, excuses, but whatever man I don’t have the time nor money so relax bald

guy with the soul patch that knows about every undiscovered form of art out there.

Anyway…I’ve been a big fan of James Jeans work for a long time and no he isn’t an

obscure undiscovered underground artist neither. He is in fact quite the opposite,

and with goodreason too. Simply put this guy’s work mixes digital and tradition

media in a way that it breathes sweet sweer life into the otherwise dying field

of commercial illustration. The nerdy comic book artist in me urges you to

check out his work by at least browsing thru: http://www.jamesjean.com
