Neon rain and other lit downpours
gathering lime
watermelon lit clouds fall
in neon rain
Atlas Obscura lists the world's most unusual displays of neon:

Glendale/Brooklyn/Warsaw/Cincinnati/London/Las Vegas/Los Angeles/Montreal
certainly they name sites to see but the reflections of neon on rain drenched streets is certainly an art collaboration of nature and man worth viewing. Though Las Vegas does not get a lot of rain…it is 100% neon.

Always looking for what I’m looking for…thx to U2?!
This is a classic, a favorite, perhaps not only because of its entrancing tune but because of the reminder that it is the human condition to never be quite satisfied. Here's a link to an interesting look at the untold story of the video shoot in Las Vegas: U2 Las Vegas Shoot

Save me a place> Mono mind’s seductive robo-rap
Mono Mind Melds Hit:Save Me A Place
If you haven’t heard Mono Mind’s hit “Save Me A Place” you haven’t been listening. At least not to pop/dance radio or the popular download sections of major music sites. The song which is the first hit of the ‘mystery’ band Mono Mind combines robo-rap verses with a seductive female chorus of high plaintive pleas and soft whispers. It turns out to be a good combination: the song has hit #2 on Billboard’s dance charts and #1 on many of the those download sites. I must admit I was taken by it when I first heard it..the chorus made me think of sexier Ellie Goulding(is that possible?:)). The sounds of this female voice is in high contrast to the electro-robotic rap of the verses. You take notice and want to listen again-what else should a song do? The chorus itself would catches a lot of attention as some of the comments on the song’s Youtube site confirm but the parts make the whole a whole lot greater.
To the mystery of the band : a quick Google search finds that the female singer is Helena Josefsson which solves one half of the mystery of the band…the other half is Per Gessle formerly of Roxette. Although these two are credited on the song the Mono Mind website describes itself as a “musical laboratory where anything is possible”. It goes further to state it is based in Sweden-home to Josefsson & Gessle-but claims collaboration from anywhere as its space so there is still some mystery to what might come in the future. Whatever that future holds I hope it includes more of the enchanting voice of Josefsson but at any rate it appears Mono Mind has saved themselves a place in their listeners’ attention.

Seven Magic Mountains: Neon Bright Land Art
7 Magic Mountains Haiku
Seven (Photo)Magic Mountains
Nevada Museum of Art's large scale land art exhibit: Seven Magic Mountains appears in the southern Nevada desert like a mirage. Located 7 miles outside of Las Vegas this neon colored mutated Stonehenge is an expression of the dynamic of duality that its creator, Ugo Rondinone, says drives his work. The work is not Las Vegas but like a stone mirror it reflects Las Vegas: the bright day-glow paints mirror neon lights, it's stones which are piled up,constructed by men over time mirrors the story of Las Vegas rising up over time, changing the light, in middle of the desert. This is the form of the art but the message maybe in the mirage,in the symbols. The number of mountains is the symbol 7. The artist has chosen 7, a number of luck and success at the Las Vegas games and tables. Is this art of rising bright stones a charm in the desert?–a magic construction? The artist refers to hoodoos as the ‘model' for his structure. Hoodoos are naturally occurring geologic structures but hoodoo is also a type of magic. Magic, luck, gambling are a part of life, a part of art–especially in Las Vegas. But life is a series of gambles with results representing existential values: wins and losses on a local, personal level. Gambling extends the possible impact of events, it adds a meta-value to outcomes that might not have had value to a non-local observer. This art has its perceptual value to the local observer, but this land art extends and adds a perceptual value across the desert.
