Media Monday: Phantogram, Spicoli, and Digital Luxury

Do you ever discover music, a band, or a song you just can't stop listening to? Phantogram has found its way to my iPod, and has been on repeat for a week straight. Sara Barthel is almost as stunningly beautiful as her voice, and she is incredibly talented at keyboard. Her counterpart, Josh Carter is an amazing guitarist, but I wish he refrained from singing. He's a dull light in the brilliance of Barthel. She is one of the sexiest performers I've discovered in awhile, and she looks fantastic in this video!



If you haven't seen the movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, I suggest you find the nearest Blockbuster that's still open, and make tonight a movie night. I was introduced to this movie in high school. After hundreds of viewings, I sadly can recite just about every one-liner this movie offers, and there's a plethora. Spicoli, easily the best character, once said, "All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine." This quote comes in reply to the sugesstion that Spicoli needs a job, which is oddly relative to the point I'm at in life.


It's 2012, and it's clear that print media is becoming less prevalent in today's society. Consumers can read newspapers, magazines, even their favorite books using digital media. Computers, tablets and phones can bring almost every form of media right to the user. So, how much has the wealthiest indulged in the digital world. According to according to the Ipsos Media CT's 2012 Mendelsohn Affluent Survey, "Affluents' time online rose 14 percent in 2012 from 2011, as people spent more time doing things like social networking, shopping, using apps and playing games." This article by Adweek really breaks down the digital media usage by the wealthy: http://bitsylink.com/?XLAUS
