God Help Her, Indeed

I'm so excited about this album, which comes out next week! I've been eagerly anticipating it for months. It's Belle & Sebastian's new project with the help of some new female faces.

Oasis

Wow, these really took my breath away for a moment there. Either click on the photo or go to Lenscratch to see them larger and in all their glory. An unstaged juxtaposition is usually the most poignant.

"Game We're Playing is Life..."

"... love is a two way dream."

It was hard to pick between that and "I'm a fountain of blood... in the shape of a girl." I've never paid much attention to Bjork's lyrics, partially because I can't really make them out while she's belting them, but I do believe I will from here on out.

Sunshine Been Keeping Me Up For Days

Imagination

Instead of seeing animals amongst the clouds, Horacio Salinas sees girls amongst his muffin wraps.

Cute On A Stick

"Pardon me, how long must we hang here like this again?"

One Sentence

If you're thinking about seeing Up, stop thinking about it and go see it.... now.

Bonne Idee

This is one of those things I come across that I wish I'd "invented" first. It's so simple, so timeless, so aesthetically pleasing.... colorful candy-like yarn-encircled balls of light on a string c/o la case de cousin paul (cousin paul's cabin). And since you pick your own color combinations they could conceivably work anywhere, from monochromatic interiors to balls-out eye popping. Pun intended. My friend recently enlisted me to help her spruce up her admittedly dark abode, and I think these are just the ticket. I'm already working on her to pick up a string or two. Even with international shipping, it looks like a string of 35 will cost you about $80 stateside. Not too shabby for a unique and versatile pick-me-up.

Seascapes

As evidenced by my inability to pick fewer than six of her photos to post, I'm IN LOVE with Renate Aller's work and would beg borrow and steal to get my hands on a print of my own. The trouble would be picking just one. And affording it. If I didn't steal it.

Cute in a Hand

Um, have I mentioned that I feel really really really really awful that this is what I feed my dog?? It fits in a hand for crying out loud. He should be ashamed of himself. I think it's time I go back to my semi-vegetarian state in an attempt to make up for Fletcher's eating requirements.
