He called me babe, all night long.

Introducing: One eskimO - my new favourite animated band! I just dicovered one eskimo, who's link appeared on myspace when I went to log in this afternoon! They are brilliant, have a look!

One eskimO 4-play piece


If you can't see the vid above, here's the link: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=52884544

They're a fantastic band who work with graphics and audio.
I personally think the song that plays at the beggining of the video, Kandi, sounds a bit like Will Young and Adele in parts! Is it just me?

Take it from Thandie

"It is grotesque how out of control manufacturing has become, and the excess, the pollution that's caused by it. Vintage is not only glorious and stylish, it's also the way forward in terms of recycling. Whenever I go into great vintage stores, I wonder why we ever buy new things." - Thandie Newton

My brother just sent me a link to an American website that combines beautiful photography and marvellous clothes to sell vintage apparel.

http://www.bluebirdvintage.com/

The company sells womens vintage clothing both on its website and via their ebay store:

http://stores.shop.ebay.com/BLEUBIRDVINTAGE

My favourite item they are selling right now is this 50's party dress! I think it would look really gorgeous with a black waistbelt and some black punky booties or without the waistbelt, a string of pearls and some nude shoes (like on the photo). I think this dress could be really versatile, and almost worth the $168 its going for!

Anyway, bleubirdvintage/bluebirdvintage not only sells vintage gear, it also has a blog which features either new products, interviews with fashionistas, music interviews and much more! Also on their blog is an amazon linked playlist of some great up-and-comers like She & Him, and older legendary bands such as Led Zeppelin.
Check out She & Him on myspace, they're really good! Zoey Deschanel is amazing!

When I look at the ground, the words are written in the dust.

So it's been 3 months since I last posted!! I'm really sorry! I've been so busy, but everything's back on track now, so I should be posting more often!

Last week (On Feb 12.) I went to see a brilliant band called This Town Needs Guns for the second time. you should go listen! I personally think their older stuff was better (listen to: If I sit still, maybe I'll get out of here), more catchy, but their new album Animals contains some good songs! I especially like Pig & Baboon. You can listen them both on their myspace, as posted above!
It was the second time I had seen TTNG, and they were as great as ever! Their guitarist, Dan, left the band last year to be with his pregnant wife, and his replacement Jamie, seemed really great! Well, what we saw of him!
I went along with 3 of my best friends and we got a special mention for our cheering at the end! It was brilliant! :D They are such a friendly bunch of guys!
Their support bands: Lost from Atlas, Wintermute and Itch were pretty good too. The first two especially! These three bands are also on myspace, if you want to go listen.
I hadn't been to a gig in AGES, and going to such a good one made me realise how much I missed them!

I didn't get any photos of the gig, as when I went skiing in January I managed to pretty much destroy my camera and am awaiting a new one! For the second part, I am excited! :D :D

I shall dedicate an upcoming post to my skiing holiday I think, as there is lots to tell, and lots of pictures to show you!

With love xxxxxxxx
