Your Average Nineties Music Playlist By Ilan Adler This post is just a cool little 90’s playlist that I drew up one day. The reasoning behind it is not songs that were hard to find, or B-sides, but just the nineties music that I grew up on listening to on the radio.

Moreing by Boost By Ilan Adler Moreing is a funny, yet visually stimulating ad campaign about the Boost bar, produced by Cadbury of Australia. In this video short they take the meaning of “moreing” to a whole new level, as evidenced by the beauty of the things which the “artist” has made better by making “more of”.
