woosh

the animal collective are a forward thinking bunch. of grapes they use more varied techniques and more eccentric rhythms than any band i have heard and their new e.p [water curses] is no different. the realm into which strawberry jam delved has been explored even further and brought a.c onto a level unparred by any of your talented indie bands. well done them

north london photographer harry mitchell is very good, think lastnightsparty 35mm drive by but thicker, with different variation and technique. serious light and shadow -

re charge

sometimes you just need to sit back and mellow away, allow yourself to let go, drift away with your thoughts. and be assured you will come back fair and fine, a little more peaceful, and easy.

swedeland

last month dazed and confused described her as the 'nordic musical wunderkind' who wiled away her youth 'writing poetry and ballet dancing on top of portugese mountains to the strains of madonna's immaculate collection'. and after buying lykke li's debut album, youth novels, yesterday- i smiled. the 21-year-old swedish fledgling's certainly got the right sound. hazy, harmonic- full of variety. and mystical; a voice with that edge that just makes you wonder and amaze, float and run, grin and giggle. support her and buy it too, brighten up your weekend .

dance. dance. dance

hullo: the spring collective

i've noticed, in old books (as in 1920s sorta thing not actually old-just old for me) that people greet each other saying 'hullo' as opposed to our clever modern 'hello'. curious, no?

not really.

so i havent done much postting last few weeks, BUTTTTTTT i have been to barcelona which was pretty amazing and i will try and make up with a big lot of special songs to put a spring in your step.
