Monday Mirecommendations Vol VI

Today's theme is design, both visual and audible.
I'm sure most of you have heard of Pandora by now. I used it for a while and still have the iPhone app, but I've moved on to Last.fm. It features a wider variety, doesn't repeat the same songs so much and features more non-mainstream music. It's actually where I discovered my new favorite audio-artist, Celldweller.




I'm a huge fan of hybrid music that mixes genres, and Klayton has pretty much mastered this art. The main course is usually a high energy rock/metal vibe with side dishes of everything from rap to electro to orchestra. All together it's quite a tasty musical meal. His work is featured in lots of movies and he also co-produced and cameos in Criss Angel's theme song for his Mindfreak show.



Here's a couple of other notable songs:


Ok that video is a little weird. Is he wearing a skirt? Erroneous!



On to the visual part. I'm getting a new apartment soon and fully intend on utilizing some Blyk wall graphics. Don't have the time or talent to customize your walls? They have tons of options to fit any wallspace, taste or mood and some of them are re-stickable! You can match the t-shirt you just bought from Threadless, recreate your favorite scene from Super Mario Brothers, or display some more famous designs, like those of Charles and Ray Eames. (You may have heard of their chairs.)
