PS here's a list of things i love right now... (tv edition!)
1. New Season of Arrested Development (seriously may 26th cannot come soon enough! "hey, brother...")
2. Mad Men (new season is great so far. been a fav show for a while now)
3. Parks & Rec (my goodness, what a lovely show. took a little while to get on board, but has since become an all time fav)
4. America in Primetime (4-part documentary about television that is incredible. watch. it.)
For each of this year's Atlas EPs (6 total!), we are making a limited edition merch item!! Behold the brand-new, ultra limited edition shirt for the EP "Darkness," which features full-color artwork from this latest Atlas EP! Hope you like it!

This morning, the incredible (and now a household name) Kid President posted a new video from his time visiting the Obama family at the White House! So fun! President Obama (aka Adult President) gives KP a tour around the Oval Office. It just so happens you might hear some familiar music on this lovely video too! :) Check it out and keep your ears peeled for my song "Next To Me"! (I think only eyes can be "peeled" but you get the idea...) 17+ Million plays later, it's so exciting to see how far Kid President's wonderful and sweet message has traveled since his epic "Pep Talk" a couple months ago... So privileged to be a part of his adventure!
Since the release of the 1st Atlas EP, "Darkness," I've been working away on the next chapter, "Light." It's coming together real nice so far! I wrote a blog post detailing the progress... Check it out here, if you're interested in following along!
Thanks for reading, folks!
Much love, Ryan - Sleeping At Last

2. GoPro "Hero3" Camera (my amazing mom got me one as a gift recently... i love it. makes me want to adventure more)

p.s. here's a list of things i love right now:
1. orange tic tacs (i don't like any other tic tac flavor... but orange is something else. i treat 'em as if they are candy rather than mints. so. what.)
2. justin timberlake on SNL (some celebrities are just masters of their craft. jt is an all around master entertainer... his latest snl appearance is no exception. so. funny.)
3. gesundheit! (such a fun and beautifully drawn/designed puzzle game on iOS)
4. arrested development (seen it probably 3 times through. rewatched a few episodes recently to prep for the new season, and goodness.. i think it's my favorite tv comedy show of all time. it's flawless.)
