Alice - A Mad Tea Party 2006
UK paper artist Su Blackwell creates the most beautiful & delicate works of art out of other people spent books. Her love for the fantasy images of childhood is apparent and the nostalgic familiarity really grabbed me at first glance. It’s imagining how she does it that keeps me [...]
…that I like to call “Scotch & Stars”. Although, it’s known that alcohol dehydrates you which in this heat may not be the *best* idea. While I have a few days off from work keeping cool is a full time job. I’m pretty sure I’ll be a pro by next week. Two words. Hot. House.
The Joy Formidable: While The Flies
Although, I’ve mentioned them in this post and actually, this one too, The Joy Formidable just seemed like the most appropriate artist to feature this week. Ritzy’s guitar & vocals are inspiring. She sort of makes me wonder why I prefer quiet, introspective music so much when it can be [...]
Alex Story Jewelry is a small New York based line created by Alex Story.

Their African tinged pop is perfect for the sunny days of summer and absolutely worthwhile for the rest of the year too, I suspect. Interestingly though, no one knows anything about them.

My seriously lackluster day was taken to new heights while driving around blasting the new album by The Joy Formidable, “A Balloon Called Moaning” (the amazing haircut I just got didn’t hurt either). I do think I can declare this my official “summer album”. I know, I know, it’s a little dark. But really, the [...]
Julian Plenti: Only If You Run
Julian Plenti is the new solo project by Interpol front man, Paul Banks. There are interludes, intro’s and outro’s a plenty, reminding me of my favorite albums of the 90’s. It’s a trait I’ve seen fall away since the desire to sell songs individually has taken over. After listening to [...]
