On the Lifeburner: Fool by Cat Power

It has been 6 years since i laid my hands on You are Free,

and i STILL can not get over it

i STILL listen to it all the time

especially this track



Click on it, because its really silly.



I have always loved native american headresses

and i have plans to create one ALL IN BLACK

Black Feathers
Black Tassles
Black Sparkles
Black everything,
(With possible gold touches)

I am so excited to get started when i get some cash

It is going to be SO good, hopefully.


1930's Paris

That is where i would most like to potter today,

Thanks mostly to this tv series.

Olden Haze




myparentswereawesome

My vintage photography enthusiasm is reasonably clear,
and as such people often recommend bits to me.

Laura, an incredible femme,
pointed me in the direction of that today, and as suggested i sure did like it.

as such I
decided a little nod to the olds was in order, so here are a couple of other gems




50s Patio Party

as with many vintage photographs i find the appeal less about the technical, more about subjects and ideals

I would definitely NOT mind slow dancing awkwardly with a boy at a patio party,
not enough awkward dances with crushes happen any more





Animal Values

Duck in a tub, a ha




A classic image, but delightful


If i was in a girl band (please) then i would love a shot like this.

Though you see hundreds of images like this i find each one fascinating for faces and details.

On the Earburner : LAST FM revival
(muddled with The constant sounds of the peckham builder with a devilish penchant for smashing EVERYTHING)

'Tis not only the pumpkin with lantern potential,
so i have decided to get crafting.

I look forward to the green squashes most.

Tried the tiny ones out this eve,

(believing myself to have come up with a truly lovely inspiration in the shape of mini lanterns)

however, technical errors with sizes and tea lights stood in my way

SO

We ate them instead,

simple and delicious

roasted squash is the perfect autumnal evening snack

So,

Band/s you may like to treasure,
I am beginning to.




Woods . Woods Family Band

Woods Family Creeps

Surfer Blood

I am charmed, really.

myspace

i found these through the forkcast





The Drums

Surfer Blood's (Myspace) Pals

their myspace

These guys are real good pop-ish fun.


..

i am a touch late.slow on the uptake with bands nowadays,
so this may be very old or uncool news,
but i reckon its good news nonetheless







Sexy people

This blog is GREAT.


I completely stole it from readplatform.com

but i thought i would share it because its sexy, very sexy.

My First Music Video

I made this when in my first (third of five, technically) year of university,

I just found it, thought i could share it

Its pretty quaint, There is so much i would change now,
but we did do the whole thing in two days so i guess we deserve some credit

ha ha

Red Drapes

This is the band of two of my favourite people in the entire world,
with the help of a couple of other treasures.

They just started a blog,
so this is a nod to their blog

They are working so hard at their dream, and I love that, and them.

Marc Isaacs : Lift

Francis, a delightful friend of mine, highlighted this on his book of faces a while back,

i just watched the whole thing.

Its really great, seriously.


FUTURESHORTS

have some great short films,

go look at their youtube channel.





Phillip Van:
Dunny



Jamie Thraves: I Just Want to Kiss You


Those two are both quite amusing,
i am not in love, but sure i am amused.


i have a lot more exploring to do.

expect a few of these to crop up soon.


I am so interested in creating short films at the moment,

i have several ideas

All i need now is a video camera, and some willing participants

Saturday 17 October 2009





I was OBVIOUSLY going to adore these


Left PIllow : Here you will dream of endless kissing

Right Pillow : Here you will dream of people you admire exposing your fraudulence



They have been a wonderful wallpaper on my appletree for a couple'weeks.

I think about the (right pillow) statement a lot



She writes perfectly to my tastes


HER WONDERFUL WEBSITE

(HA. the entrance page)


AND THEN



This leads me on nicely to an age old project


i only just discovered this

wish i had known about,

SO you should read all about it,

Look at as many of the project submissions as you can


i like ones like

- take a photograph of a scar and write about it

- recreate a poster you had as a teenager

- Make the saddest song

- Cover the song "don't dream it's over"

- Make an exhibition of the art in your parents house
(i think that is a genuinely inspiring idea on several levels)

- Make an educational public plaque

etc.


after a day of listening to a lot of my fathers,
that is my best piece of advice for you for this one.


BEAUTIFUL STUFF


Personal P.S




When i wasn't doing this i spent a little time with a wee one today

Dylan is totally cute,

and i really don't use that word lightly



I taught him to take a photograph

(bare baby Eggleston)









(lets hang out?)


Yvan Rodic


aka






FACEHUNTER

I don't love ALL his photo's
these few appeal to me
i think it is about the subject more for me with him.

the face hunts are good inspiration
