I wound up doing two mood boards this week...

The first one I did on Friday, wherein the theme of the week up to that point was anger and frustration:

Mood Board #1, 15 May 2005

I kinda wish sometimes that I could just stand there on a street corner and scream my head off, like the guy in this cartoon by m@b. sigh

So, one of the discs that I found myself spinning this week was an audio CD I made of Underworld's live set at the Fuji Rock Festival from 1999.

In particular, the song "Cowgirl" got repeated several times, and provided the lyrical content seen on the board. It's kind of nonsensical stream of consciousness stuff, but it fit the theme.

Anyway, it occurred to me this morning that the weekly mood boards of the last few weeks have been more like weekly whine-fests, so I figured I'd take a stab at a second board that reflected a more straight-forward look at the week's media consumption.

Mood Board #2, 15 May 2005

OK, so the board features "Cowgirl" once again, just because I played the track so damn much. It really is a very cool tune, as this writeup from Stylus magazine will aver. Also getting some time in the Walkman this week were a couple other discs from 1999 -- Play by Moby, and Abductions and Reconstructions by Thievery Corporation.

I did see one movie this week -- The Stepford Wives (2004 version) on DVD. It was OK, I guess; more satire than horror, but falling a bit flat.

I should also mention that the background images for this week's boards come from Texture Warehouse and Mayang's Free Textures. Both are good sources of imagery that's free to use.

There's a fine line between venting your frustrations, which we all have to do somehow, and whining.

For what it's worth, I've been enjoying the mood boards and haven't found them to be whiny.
