You Know You’re a Graphic Designer When…
2007-10-11 22:00:00 You have bags under your eyes so big you’d have to check them in at Heathrow Airport You watch the superbowl just for the commercials You can spot bad typography from 100 yards away You are pro-facebook because 95% of the myspace accounts burn your retinas You can name more than 200 fonts in under five minutes You are completely immune to subliminal advertising You look upon a well-designed project with either: sympathy OR extreme jealousy Your hand is permanently stuck in the shape of a mouse You tell stories of exacto-knife inflicted wounds with grizzled sort of pride You practically take caffeine intravenously You have an appreciation for everything unique You’ve been spending three days non-stop on a project and it still looks like shit. You find your pulse increase at the sight of a lovely ligature, glasses steam up when an unusually elegant arm, leg, or tail comes in view, and a well-kerned paragraph is apt to make you break into a sweat with excitem...

More Than a Feeling: Part 1
2007-06-07 15:54:00 Well well well. Here I am, writing my inaugural piece for Uncommon. I am very excited. I am full of anticipation. My friend Ben Catford is visiting from Australia. That guy knows how to do things. He and a friend, Mark Sayers, have been working for sometime on The Trouble With Paris. I got to see it yesterday and was consequently pretty excited. You should consider checking it out . I’ve been itching to write for a while now. I’m pretty stoked to get the chance. I have been doing a lot of thinking lately. The Trouble With Paris came at a real interesting time for me. I’ve been thinking a lot about “love” and what that means. I’ve been struggling to piece together a reality in the midst of this fluffy fluorescent world we currently live in. I’m tired of being told I need to be happy every moment. The truth is, I will not be happy every moment. This world feeds us happiness in place of joy, lust in place of love, experience in place of study, ease in place of quality, an...

Ivory “Tae” Mobley to Leave Showbread
2007-04-03 03:23:00 Hear the story from the band: We were in Miami Florida, facing the conclusion to a six-week tour with Pillar and Tyler Read when Ivory told me he was leaving. About an hour before we would go on that night, I was sitting in the van by myself, what I was doing I can’t recall, and it all ended much like the way it began. A little while after ivory told me he would be going, he explained that there have only been two other times when God had spoken to him so clearly. When he was younger, he told me, he had clearly heard Jesus tell him “Come and know me”, and he did so obediently. As a junior in high school, he knew that Jesus was telling him “Go and serve me with Show bread.” And he was obedient once again. And now, ten years later, the voice of his beloved God called to him again. This time the words were bittersweet as Jesus told him “Your work with Showbread is finished”. When we were in elementary school, ivory and I spent most of our tim... More About: Leave , Bread

Not Even Forest Fires Can Stop Music Production
2007-03-31 16:12:00 Of all of the things that happen when you record an album, I’ve never quite heard this one before. Check out Silverstein’s story: We have been living in North Hollywood for over a month now while making our new album. Today we woke up, went to the studio, started tracking - however, Neil decided to stay back for a few hours to do laundry. Bill and I went to get our daily smoothies and came back to the studio to hang out. Moments after Neil calls and tells us about the forest fire… right by our apartment! I tell him I am going to drive back and pick him up so he can be safe. However, while driving back I see the biggest fire and cloud of smoke I have ever seen (looked like something straight out of a movie). As I get off the highway at our exit for the apartment, I noticed a police barricade preventing me from driving down to our apartment. This is when I started to take some videos on our Buzznet phone to capture what was happening (http://silverstein.buzznet... More About: Music , Product , Fire , Production , Stop
