Tango Echo’s Kate Taylor and I went for a drive yesterday to test the rig we’ll be using for an upcoming project. We ended up with a few hundred photos shot 20 seconds apart, so we made this timelapse video of our drive.

Kate selected a route that would give us a variety of images, from the inner city to snow covered fields. The first person who can guess our route will win a TE (lightning bolt logo) t-shirt. Email guesses to info@tango-echo.com. Good luck!

Dear Loyal Tango Echo Readers,

Tango Echo is proud to announce the launch of a new weekly column called “Lost & Found.” Contributor John Flagler has been researching long forgotten accounts of greatness to offer our readers educational and interesting content that digs up people, books, theories, and an array of other subjects that have become lost in history books. While education remains a primary reason for this column, we also hope the topics provide inspiration in the lives of our readers, with a promise to you that we’ll try to always keep the emphasis on important topics with themes relevant to today’s society. With so much going on in today’s world we feel that it’s our civil duty to offer a column such as this, that emphasizes the goodness in the world and beauty human kind has to offer.

Thank you all so much for your readership.

John Flagler & Tango Echo

Following last week’s post about the Hydros water filtration bottle, we have this story of a musician who is redefining water reclamation in California.

What do Devo, Mars, and California’s water problems have in common? Read more after the jump.

Of all the rock hairstyles, I find the mullet the most fascinating. No other haircut has transcended so many genres, from being worn by virtually everyone to being completely reviled. Somehow this style moved fluidly from Tom Jones in the 60s to Glam rockers like David Bowie in the 70s and then on to the antitheses of glam rock androgyny, machismo heavy metal. I myself had my hair cut into a mullet in the fall of 1986 just in time for kindergarten. I remember bursting into tears when the beautician turned me to face the mirror. Not only had she cut it into a mullet but she’d blown it out into a giant bouffant. Even at that tender age, I knew I looked ridiculous.

Katherine Montallo is the “Monkey Wrangler” behind the gruesome label Killmonkies, under which she hosts her “We Are All Monsters” collection.

As you’ll see from her images, Montallo would prefer to challenge tradition, rather than obsess over it. Check out this Q&A to truly understand what goes on inside Katherine Montallo’s head.
