Chanel Make-Up

Was just looking through my YouTube favs and found this fun video from last January.

Talking Funny: Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais & Louis CK

Comedy's biggest names — Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais and Louis CK — sit down for a revealing chat on this HBO special. They discuss comedy, how they first got into the business, the merits of on-stage profanity and the science behind getting a laugh.

This is part 1 of 4. Click through to YouTube to see the rest.

I have no secrets

Happy Birthday Morrissey & to my friend Jules!

Fun factoid: a teenage Morrissey acted as president of the UK branch of the New York Dolls fan club.

The Midnight Special 70s Music Infomercial

While trapped in a hotel in Chicago earlier this week due to a cancelled Porter flight – I came across this infomercial for The Midnight Special. I am soooooo ordering this.

A Brief History of Title Design

From Art of the Title

The Kills : Satellite

 

Listening to: Fela Kuti

 

Musical interlude: Niagara "Un million d'années"

Can you tell I spent waaaay too much time watching French Kiss in the 90s? I mean please – look at her outfits...amazing.

Prada Spring/Summer 2011 Video Campaign

Love the clothes, the colour, the girl, the song.

Listening to Kurt Vile:

 

Caribou: "Odessa"

 

Listen to the album "Swim" here.

The Sartorialist Speaks

He seems like a lovely person.

Can't stop singing this song lately

 

Fav New British Show: The Trip

Burned through all of the episodes so quickly that I'm already going through withdrawl!

Sick in bed – need funnies now Celery Man

 

SMD

 

Some pretty projection mapping

 

And now, the Thin White Duke

 

Love Courtney

       

Say what you will about Courtney and her "kook" but I still think Hole's Live Through This was a great album. This video kills me...""It's not TAUPE! It's fucking Caramel!"

In my head on a loop

 

Arcade Fire's Ready to Start

More Sébastien Tellier – ROTT

Seriously love this guy.

My favourite song right now: Sébastien Tellier's "Look"

Old School: Junior Senior

Wind Knitting Factory

Wouldn't it be great if there were a pair of scissors at the bottom so people could cut off how much they needed? Such a sweet idea.

YES

Still at the office at 12am – need a pick me up! DANCE!

Kate Bush

Genius. Love her.

Flat Eric

Listening to Solid Gold

The Runaways

Just saw the Runaways and what can I say, it's light on story and the dialogue is a bit weak but it was sure pretty to look at. Flora Sigismondi's touch was evident and it was surprising to hear Kirsten Stewart and Dakota Fanning do their own (pretty decent) singing. A fun movie if you're a music bio-pic buff like me.

Those shoes are mine betch

Oh, how could I forget this gem – a true classic.

Chat Roulette Piano Improv by Merton

Fun video by Hold Your Horses: 70 Million

Great song from Fleet Foxes

Fruit Flies

A lovely document of itbitme's fruit consumption while at work. All of his colleagues stroll into his office and marvel at the ever full fruit bowl! And yes, he and his partner in crime Jul, actually eat a bowl of fruit a day. Unlike me, who eats a bowl of cookies and chocolate a day. Eeep!

Karen Elson: Beauty & Talent

I realize I am a bit biased given the association, but regardless, I think Karen's voice is quite lovely and the song shows promise!
