Well fall is in the air and so are the sound waves of the NEW Playlist-19. This one has some highs and lows when it comes to the tempos of the tracks and the style. I'd like to give a shout out to Andre Allen Anjos tag name (RAC). This guy is on fire in my eyes. He is constantly reworking indie tracks and getting it right. His remix of The Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition" is a great example of that. I also added a track called "Hammock" by Millionyoung. Now don't forget earlier this week. I put up a link to his site where you can download his first EP "The Sunndreamm" for FREE. Lastly, I added a known track by all "The District Sleeps Alone" by The Postal Service. Even after 7 years I still love hearing this song. On this Playlist though, I found a chilled out Dubstep version of this song that I thought was deserving of being shared with all of you. So press play and let the sounds begin.

The photography works of Ed Fella caught my attention this morning with his collection of Polaroid shots. There is something about Polaroid's that reminds me of my younger years. It could be because Polaroid's were popular during my childhood or it could be the vintage feel that they portray. Either way this collection by Ed is great. I could get lost in these photos for a minute. If you want to check out more of Ed's work then check out his site.

The Cape Schank House by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects, is located atop a high dune at Cape Schank Victoria. The goal was to take advantage of the sweeping views, that come along with a “high dune” and to play off the landscape. The upper level extends out towards the views appearing to emerge from the Ti-Tree, explaining the interesting telescope like shape that you’ll notice from the exterior. This home is contemporary yet minimalist and has an amazing view that gives it an open airy quality. Overall, the most unique quality of the home is the way it peeks out from it’s cove tucked slightly away in the landscape and peers out over it’s surroundings. This is a home I would definitely put myself in debt to own.

Millonyoung is the works of Michael Diaz a Florida resident who self-released his debut, "SunnDreamm EP" in 2009. Millionyoung uses soft tempo dance beats amongst crispy acoustic recordings and hazily hypnotic samples. Diaz who's vocals are hypnotic and soothing to the ears will have you transfixed in his music in no time. I would put his sound in the chillwave/dance category. His music reminds me of bands like New Order, Washed Out, and Toro y Moi. I'm surprised it took me this long to find his music. I found out about Millionyoung from the Nueva Forma Episode 9 Playlist with his song "Cynthia" which is on his new EP "Be So True" which was released on January 9th, 2010. After that I was hooked and had to have more.

Millonyoung who has been a very productive man. He has a bunch of music available, some for free, some for really cheap, and below I have added some tracks of his for your streaming pleasure. If you like what you hear then head on over to download "SunnDreamm EP" for FREE. It really is as sunny and dreamy as the title suggests. You can also buy his other EP “Be So True” from iTunes and if you check out his site you can also download the song “Feel The Same” for FREE as well.

I'm sure there are a lot of you out there that have a ton of electronic gadgets that you carry with you every day. I know I do and they are all disorganized in my book-bag. So I came across this neatly organized mat called the "Grid-It" by Cocoon. This is a threaded mat made of rubber-threaded bands running vertically and horizontally allowing you to keep your gadgets neatly organized inside your bag or office. They come in different sizes as well so your price range can be from $16-$41 dollars depending on the size. I thought I would share this organizer because it actually looks practical and who doesn't like to be organized?

So after many hours of enjoying the listening pleasures of Nueva Forma's podcast, I'm excited to share it with all of you. Nueva Forma got it right with their podcasts. They not only have great album covers but a great choice in music. For the past nine months they’ve been creating these wonderful mixes featuring artists from their own label and also guest artists. One of my favorite things about these podcast is the added voice commentary at the beginning, middle and end of the podcasts. It gives it an added feel to the whole mix.

Their current podcast Listening Pleasures Episode 09 hands down is a fantastic podcast this month. This podcast has some amazing tracks by Blackbird Blackbird, Tanlines, Millionyoung and many more… It has the right balance from start to finish. Nueva Forma even made four tracks available as free downloads.

Matthew Billington is a poster designer from Vancouver, Canada. In his designs he likes using eye-catching, puzzling methodology of cutting and pasting in his poster designs. I couldn't find a whole lot of information on him but I was pulled into his works. I have yet to try the cut and paste of designing. So when I see something like Matthew's work. It gives me some inspiration to give it a shot and see what I can come up with. That is the great part about designing is that others works are great inspiration and motivation to continue the learning process as a designer. So today maybe find someone you get some inspiration from and leave a comment and let me know who has inspired you.

The Lake Travis Retreat was envisioned as a home for a growing family and a home to play host to friends and extended family. It was designed by Dick Clark Architecture in Lake Travis, Texas. This home was not only designed by the architects but also the family, including the children. Everyone took votes on what they wanted out of this home while keeping the same vision of a place where family and friends can spend time together.

The most gestural element of the house is a raised, copper clad pavilion with transparent walls facing south toward the neighborhood and north toward the courtyard and lake. The butterfly shape of the roof dramatically casts off rainwater through an over-sized scupper, an external reference to the series of seven water features found inside the walls of the retreat. Their are numerous other features of this design that makes this home a great place to have a family retreat.
