Streaming the new Daft Punk over at iTunes. An epic disco freakout!

The first few tracks have some of the sleaziest guitar playing ever.

So I’m decommissioning a few of my sites.

But first I’ll note that I will continue actively updating Typophonic and Book Worship, in addition to this one.

I will also maintain my studio site, Hazen Creative, Inc. of course, and I’ll be putting all my personal work together in a new site soon. Standalone projects like Abstruckt and Chicagotype will remain active.

 

So, I’m saying “good bye” to the following sites:

gridness

↑ Gridness
Probably my most popular blog after Book Worship. But I just can’t keep it up in the way it deserves. Sorry people! It’ll stay archived up there, though.

 

the-flavor

↑ The Flavor
My longest-running blog, and the URL I’ve owned the longest. I’m working on something better to use it for. It’s archived up there.

 

futureness

↑ Futureness
Sad to see it go, I love the nerdy sci-fi bent of the stuff I posted here.

 

torntogether

↑ TornTogether
This was the collage-oriented work. I’m also taking down Antarctica, which was for more stripped-down, geometric stuff. Soon, I’ll be posting my personal work all in one place.

 

hall-of-records

↑ Hall of Records
Bet you didn’t even know about this one! I’ll just put any record posts here instead.

They put on a good show.

My friend Micah just got in touch after years and years. He was the drummer in my early-90s band Collect All 4. He had a buch of boombox or 4-track recordings of us. Here’s a couple for your enjoyment. I’m playing guitar and singing back-up…
