Obama Hearts Club Band


"Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations."
-Barack Obama

“The Hopeful Hearts Club is a painting that reflects the essence of hope that the campaign has inspired in millions of Americans over the past 2 years.  The 1967 Beatles Sgt. Pepper album manifested during a time of social, economic, and worldwide change.  I feel that we are in another moment where the choices we make are having a profound effect on our lives, and the world at large. " 

- Michael W. Cuffe


Today, that change came, and it was beautiful.


Michael has other Obama inspired art here.

Support him!

Two-Thousand-Eight Greats


A new blog for a new year, why not? 

inVESTED will be a compendium of interests, music, art, news. It will be a collection of things worth becoming invested in, and what better way to start a new year of investment, a new year of change, innovation and creativity. Really, just a new year of promises, like every year. But, what better way to start a year then look at everything that made two thousand and eight so damn great.

It's been about a month, we've all had time to take it in, we've had time to sober-up. So, here are the five best albums, in no particular order, of two thousand and eight.

Dr. Dog- Fate

This is your summertime backyard drinking album. No excuses.
 Blank Dogs- The Fields 

Mr. Blank Dog, as he is known, takes a genre overwrought with Joy Division rip-offs and gives it a complete reworking. The Fields takes everything back to the basics, but still remains astonishingly fresh.
Titus Andronicus- The Airing of Grievances 

There'll be no more cigarettes/ No more having sex/ No more drinking until you fall on the floor. Luckily, frontman Patrick Stickles says this with loaded literary irony, because after listening to The Airing of Grievances cigarettes, sex, and beer is all you'll want.
Tobacco- Fucked Up Friends

Black Moth Super Rainbow member, Tom Fec, uses Psych hip-hop beats to fulfill our 70's porn groove fantasies.
Fleet Foxes- Fleet Foxes

Four words. Best damn harmonies ever. 
Other then that, this album is remarkable. Fleet Foxes pulls from a multitude of different genres to form an album thats part folk, part pop, and part Pet Sounds.

Go out a buy them, or... well... download them illegally like I did.
