Once-beloved songs ruined by heartache. These are some songs i used to love, but then it attached itself to some experience that is now too painful for me to think about, and i can’t even listen to these song anymore. Here they are:
Inspired by Iceland is a new project by the Icelandic government that encourages people to travel to Iceland and not be too scared of volcano's. Don't you love this video that they made? (emm except for the indecent part - sorry for that) The filming is incredible, and, oh, those glaciers! Well i would love to go to Iceland someday. Reykjavik, good music, overwhelming nature, hot springs and northern lights above me.
Sixteen years have passed since the Scottish indie pop godfathers The Pastels released their last album,Illumination. And now they are back! But this isn't the kind of comeback that you are used to seeing with many 80s legends. In fact, The Pastels never split up, they have just been working at a very very slow pace, so it's another step in their career. It wouldn't be fair to say that they have been laying on their backs since 1997, because they have produced interesting film soundtracks (The Last Great Wilderness, 2003) and small jewels (like the excellent collaboration with Tenniscoats called Two Sunsets, 2009). Slow Summits, though, is the first proper full LP by Stephen and Katrina in a long time and it's worth celebrating.
The album was recorded in Glasgow with a band featuring classic collaborators such as Gerald Love (Teenage Fanclub), Tom Crossley, Allison Mitchell and John Hogarty, plus the original pastel Aggi and Norman Blake (also from Teenage Fanclub). Highly recommended!
Mathilde Aubier is an incredible illustrator and designer. This French lady is giving graphic design a complete different meaning with her artful and peculiar work. I'm head over heels for her illustrations and the undeniably amazing work she's performed for some of my favorite sites. Click here and be amazed!
It's not a secret. I am completely and exaggeratedly infatuated with Pinterest. This trusty and magical relationship started when last year I found myself knee-deep in work for 3 days in a row. That was the hardest week for me. ever. All I did was work, eat and sleep a couple of hours every day. As I started looking for little bits of distraction I found that pinning rocked my world. I'm a very visual person so all the things I store in there actually inspire my daily life. This week I'm loving:
01. Andy Warhol 02. Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsborg 03. La Bicylette
There are dreamers and there are realist in this world, you'd think the dreamers would find the dreamers and the realist would find the realist, but more often than not, the opposite is true. You see, the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring to close to the sun. And the realist... well, without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground
