According to Channy Leaneagh, Polica is Polish for "policy", and she sees it as a reference to an unwritten code that guides the members when they play together, as well as its work ethic.[2] The name appears to be a loose derivation, as there is no "ç" in Polish alphabet. There is a similar word "polisa", that literally means "insurance policy" in Polish, in particular – the contract document itself.-Polica Wiki

During the very brief period that Josh Briggs lived in Hollywood we had breakfast at the 101 Diner, took a day trip to Venice, and got locked out of his apartment. The photos above were taken on my iPhone via instagram during this time.

M∆DE:IN:HEIGHTS

Blue Scholars producer Sabzi started a side project in December 2010 called Made in Heights. "All the Places" is currently one of my favorite songs, and I hope to see Made in Heights grow in popularity. Maybe a Coachella appearance in 2013??? Fingers crossed.

Keep Calm & Carry On

"The following short film by London-based filmmaker Temujin Doran traces the poster’s origins from the beginning of World War II to its rediscovery in an English bookshop in 2000. Although we will probably never know who the artist was responsible for its simple and timeless design, it is without a doubt one of the most iconic images of the 20th century." -Howtomakeit.com
