So So Modern

February 25, 2010 – 11:32 pm

Ever since I started watching Flight of the Conchords (about two weeks ago) I’ve been fascinated with New Zealand. When I heard Lawrence Arabia (supporting Beach House) talk on Monday I immediately recognized and fell in love with their accent. But they’re not the only decent band hailing from NZ.
Meet So So Modern: their single [...]

The delightful dozen

February 21, 2010 – 5:08 pm

Recently, a group of 12 bloggers decided to form a community together. The main idea is to swap clothes and see what each individual does with it.

The 12 bloggers are:
adored austin
calivintage
delightfully tacky
idee geniale
jen loves kev
leproust vintage
orchid grey
sally jane vintage
selective potential
the clothes horse
this time tomorrow
what I wore
You can follow their swaps on their facebook page and [...]

Montage Populaire

February 20, 2010 – 12:22 pm

I know, we’ve had quite the music filled week, haven’t we?
Well, let’s continue that trend and finish it off with Montage Populaire. I’ve been meaning to blog about them for two weeks now or so and I’ve finally found the time.

In one of my first blogposts ever I said (and I shall quote myself now) [...]

A magical evening

February 18, 2010 – 5:58 pm

On Monday we had a surprise party for Gisèle’s birthday and to celebrate two other friends’s birthdays (from January and December). A nice time was had by all. We watched She Keeps Bees and ate pancakes & brownies. I’d emailed the band to ask if they wanted to sing Happy Birthday and they very gladly [...]

The fourth season of Skins has recently kicked off and whether you love it or hate it, the soundtrack is always undeniably carefully thought-out and sometimes they even bring forward some interesting artists. But they have overlooked four young guys from Germany. This week’s band hasn’t been featured in the series (yet) but would fit [...]

Garderobe+

February 14, 2010 – 4:16 pm

Last summer we got an email to attend a showing from the agency Garderobe+. Peggy-Marie Bracke is the brains behind this agency and she thought it would be a nice idea to show some of the collections at an atelier. The designers would be present, as well as some artists showing their art collection. And [...]

Valentines treats

February 12, 2010 – 5:10 pm

Yes, another freebee! Can you believe it? Talented artists have just been throwing free stuff around. I love it just as much as you, believe me.
This time the treats come from Planet Earth and YAWN.

First up, Planet Earth.

I am not a fan of Valentines Day. No one ever sends me cards + it’s a bit [...]

Meet Nils Knoblich

February 11, 2010 – 4:36 pm

Ah Flickr, how I love thee!
On the internet you stumble from one discovery into the other. I was looking at some photos of the Rotopol exhibition on Flickr and saw a funny picture of a man with badges on the inside of his coat.

This man was Nils Knoblich. A bit of a peculiar image and [...]

Le Mont St Michel

February 7, 2010 – 10:14 pm

When I read about the clothing brand Le Mont St Michel, I first thought about the small “island” in France. According to the tide you can either walk to the island or go by boat. This means you can get stuck if you don’t get back in time. It is a very beautiful place though, [...]

Essays on Cicero

February 6, 2010 – 10:58 pm

Saturday is interviewday buddies! Here’s an interview from last November.
Bombay Bicycle Club sold out the Witloofbar at the Botanique and played a great set. We walked past a member of Port O’Brien staging an act of fellatio with his fellow bandmember and went straight to the dressing room where we found bassist Ed (far right) [...]
