Living in a Hole in Switzerland
December 29th, 2009 • Architecture
Tags: Architecture
I could live in a hole as long as it’s good design. Take this Swiss Villa designed by Dutch Architectural Studio SeARCH and Christian Muller Architects. It’s a beautiful building that blends in with the hillside, although the fencing surrounding it distracts from the visual form. The exterior patio area is an amazing use of exterior space and captures the view with a subtle smile-like curve framing the mountain in the distance. The interior appears a bit cold with the harsh angles and exposed concrete, which would be too much for long winters. So maybe I could live in a hole during the summer and spend the winter in a tree.

Blame it on the Pop or Blame it on DJ Earworm

I blame the fact that this mashup keeps playing in my head on DJ Earworm. Not only because it’s catchy and danceable, but because I’ve been hearing it blasting from the room next to me for the last month during it’s creation. There are some truly awful songs, cough, cough, um Miley Cyrus, in the mix and Earworm was able to make them into a great mashup that’s gonna make a lot of dance floors happy come this New Years Eve. So when Billboard gives you a bunch of rotten lemons, let Earworm take the top 25 of them and make it into something amazing that will make your mouth water and your ears lust for more.

Electro remix of Kate Bush’s classic, Running Up That Hill, from Datassette. It’s a great song to listen to while you slog through another work day.

Sky Ferreira x Skeet Skeet’s Happy Dre

“I need a fix cause I’m goin’ down”. Seventeen year old Sky Ferreira and DJ Skeet Skeet mix it up with Sky singing The Beatles’ Happiness is a Warm Gun laid over some Dr. Dre to create a memorable song that keeps repeating in my head.
