sunday afternoon

I will never get to see Andy Warhol's new exhibition in Pitsburg. Showcasing a group of artist's who created a 72 pack of tarrot cards, which were based around The Velvet Underground's 1966 music video for run run run. For now i will keep searching for the 60minute film created by Warhol himself (if anyone know's where to find it i will be ever so greatful)

/

I will continue my lazy sunday afternoon listerning to Glassjaws 'The Colouring book' so sad i missed them at leeds festival this year.

Bombay bicycle club

They always amaze me. This band havn't ever written a bad song in my opinion, and this new song is keeping me company during my last week of resit.

i miss you alot

In time I swore I'd take the straight and narrow path but still won't

Machree/ Far/ Crosses

Discovered a couple of new bands recently and i want to share the lovely noise. First up is Machree, influence's appear to be very Thrice like. Album 'White out' was released 2009 its a pain to get a hold of online, but a few tracks from this album are on youtube. They are to release an ep this year 'Changer' give them a listern, i think there worth it!



Second up is Far, this band have been around awhile and have a few albums on the go, myself however have only just discovered this band, and i can say from the first few seconds of listerning the there latest album 'Tin cans with strings to you' i am amazed. Heavily influenced by Deftone's (one of my favourite bands) so it comes as no surprise they teamed up with front man Chino Moreno from Deftone's to form my third band discovery, Crosses.



Crosses have only released a teaser so far for this up and coming project, but my it's a brilliant teaser, i want to hear the rest right now!

Zeloot

So i'm writing my dissertation this year on 'The realtion between music and art'
Ive been spending my evening's doing research research research, and ive found a pretty good site which holds alot of design's created for the band 'The Decemberists'. The compositions are so randomly put together, bright and intriguing, making you want to look closer to find out what these clustered design's are all about. Although the message, the poster's are trying to put across isn't all to clear, once you have figured out its a band advertisment you can get the sense of what type of music they may create, joyful upbeat? I think this is how designs should be for music, turning music language into visual art.

After meeting and seeing the maccabees for the first time a few years back at KOKO
London, i've been in love with this band ever since. I can listern to them over and over and today whilst listerning to them a thought occured, when will they release something new?

you mean the world to me

Thrice Major/Minor

Thrice are releasing another album 'Major/minor' they have got to tour england this year/next .... come on!

Susie Wright's designs for music cover's, ive been working on a few band design's latly myself and i feel the detail in these with the small amount of colour could really work on a cd cover. I think i may try some landsacpes next

Edward Lears book of nonsense

Edward Lear (12 May 1812 – 29 January 1888) was an English artist, illustrator, author, and poet, renowned today primarily for his literary nonsense, in poetry and prose, and especially his limericks, a form that he popularised.

Gabriella Barouch has illustrated a book written by the author Edward Lear, it's beautiful drawn with delicate intricate detail, suiting the 'nonsense stories' perfectly. I cant stop looking at this book, i only hope one day i can produce something just as brilliant!

BBC

Bombay bicycle club are my absolute favourite band this past year. I have re discovered there brilliance thanks to a very special person who came in my life this last year. They have given me some great memories for this person, from falling asleep listerning to them, car driving music doing reverse turns up motorways, to dancing in a bar. Everytime i hear jack's voice it immediatly reminds me of those times and how happy those times were. Every song gives me butterflies in my stomach and i hope they never dissapear. There new song kind of sum's up this relationship with the band and the person dear in my heart and i cant stop listerning!
