Happy Little Clouds

Bob Ross Remixed | Happy Little Clouds | PBS Digital Studios


Love Bob Ross. Forgot to post this earlier, but another song by Symphony of Science. Mr. Rogers' Garden of Your Mind is a catchier song in my opinion.

The Killers - Runaways

Brent James

Thought this drum head turned out sweet! Complex cut white vinyl on a black drum head. Band has a great sound/solid album, featuring the radio hit "Moment of Silence." Brent James Music

What Do You Want From Me?

I heard this song a long time (1997) ago at Cincinnati's Party in the Park, and every once in a while it pops back up in my head. I like the chorus. It sounds like New Wave, or New Order, which makes sense since it's made up of some of its members.

Bob Moog

Bob Moog Google Doodle


As a musician and synthesizer user this is pretty neat for a logo.


Robert Arthur "Bob" Moog, founder of Moog Music, was an American pioneer of electronic music, best known as the inventor of the Moog synthesizer.

The Candle Thieves

These guys are awesome! Both albums are well polished.

Spotify Play Button

Previously:
Spotify's web site has been down today, probably a technical issue regarding the addition of the new embedded "Play" button, which I was hoping to test on The Sketchpad today.

Pepe the King Prawn

Was watching the Weezer Keep Fishin' music video, and this scene with Pepe the King Prawn made me laugh. It looks so goofy, but great.

Rossini Google Doodle

Happy birthday, Gioachino Rossini. The Italian composer would have turned 220 on Wednesday. Rossini's work plays an enormous role in movie and TV culture – from Seinfeld and Family Guy to Looney Tunes and the Lone Ranger.
