Eyes Shut Blink: Matthew The Horse

January 31, 2010 – 8:16 pm

A while ago Matthew Hodson sent us an email only having the url of his website in the content. The link was nice and colourful though so it immediately grabbed my attention and made me curious. I clicked it and that turned out to be a great idea, he’s got some awesome work!

January’s perfect look(s)

January 31, 2010 – 4:12 pm

The last day of January, ideal for some perfect looks. Today I’m posting two looks, just so you can see that it works for girls as for boys.
As you might have already noticed, the topic is floral. Personally, I think everyone should have at least one floral printed garment in their wardrobe, it is a [...]

A Monarchy Goody Bag

January 29, 2010 – 10:54 am

Remember when we used to do Goody Bags? Actually, wait a second, we only ever did it twice! Hopefully there will be more of them from now on. This is a small one, mainly focused on Monarchy.
Monarchy are pretty new faces in music but hotly tipped nontheless. Only we don’t know what these faces look [...]

Screaming boys, that’s the longterm dream

January 28, 2010 – 8:58 pm

Meet Two Door Cinema Club. Actually, forget that, I bet you already know who they are and I don’t need to give you an introduction. After all, they were in BBC’s Sound of 2010 longlist and have been popping up in several places. When I went to do this interview two months ago, however, no [...]

The Snail and The Cyclops

January 24, 2010 – 3:55 pm

Today I’m presenting you yet another blog. It’s called (as you can guess) The Snail & The Cyclops and it’s quite an addictive thing.
This girl is absolutely perfect. It’s fairly difficult to make a statement like that, cause who comes close to perfection? But this girl always wears the right outfit, has the most stunning [...]

Why did it take me so long?

January 20, 2010 – 10:42 pm

1. TO DISCOVER THESE GEMS:

She Keeps Bees – Gimmie [mp3]
Anika had been raving about these for months but due to a lack of time I only gave them a listen two weeks ago. I immediately fell in love. Such strong vocals with basic instrumentation, can’t wait to see what this’ll be like live. And you [...]

Illustrate fashion.

January 17, 2010 – 2:58 pm

Well, one sunday, I was flicking through the pages of a magazine and was struck by this gorgeous illustration. The fairytale characters, the extremely long hair and thin legs, it all seemed so perfect. The illustrator behind this is Laura Laine, she’s 25 , lives inFinland and has made quite the name the last few [...]

Eyes Shut Blink: Stuart Woodman

January 14, 2010 – 5:48 pm

Perfectly in time to be a Christmas gift I received Doubleplusgood Books’ debut publication by Stuart Woodman, a British self-taught photographer.
Hitting the 30 was a turning point in the life of Stuart Woodman. A week before his 30th birthday he quit his job and moved out of his flat in London and on the big [...]

Lucien Cravate

January 13, 2010 – 4:02 pm

Back in September last year I made a trip to Brussels together with my friend Nathalie. We were gonna do some sightseeing and then go see We Were Promised Jetpacks at the Botanique – who were absolutely breathtaking by the way.
Luckily she brought an old Use-It map (I’d really recommend having a look at the [...]

Recommended on Monday: Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros

January 11, 2010 – 11:57 pm

Looking back on my list of my top albums of 2009 I realized there are some horrible gaps in our blog. Time to tell you about some magical records that you might have missed last year. Starting with Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros.
Not Edward Sharpe, but Alex Ebert is the founder of this week’s [...]
