Happy holidays

(the song is much better in the album version - listen to it!)

Allo darlin'

In the movie of our lives, would Woody Allen write the screenplay?
This song's a bit old to share it with you, but it's too sweet not to. I love it. (And it reminds me: I need to learn to play the ukulele).

"Pure"

I watched "Lagerfeld Confidential" again yesterday – and I just love the scene in the beginning of the film when you see the ocean and the cliffs and hear "Pure" playing in the background. It's such a sweet song (and such a very very bad music video).

Pole Dancing Kate

I'm just writing a portrait of Kate Moss for ELLE and I wanted to remind you of this highlight: the music video of "I just don't know what to do with myself", directed by the brilliant Sofia Coppola.

News from Kings of Leon

I am quite excited about the new Kings of Leon album which is coming out on 15th October. It's called "Come around Sundown" and I already love the first song they released from it. You can listen to it here.

If you fall asleep down by the water, Baby I'll carry you all the way home

I listen to "The Drums" a lot at the moment, because they're the perfect summer sound. "Down by the water" is so sweet.

Fantastic Foxes

I went to see "Fantastic Mr. Fox" this week (I know, it was in the cinemas ages ago in the UK and it's probably out on DVD since January, but for some reason you have to wait another 6 months in other European countries - well, what can you do, eh?)
Anyway, I loved the film, especially the kind of edgy movements and looks of the characters. I really want to make my own stop-motion-film now.

Elephant Gun

Just in case anyone has not seen this brilliant music video yet ... (by the way, ruffled can-can knickers rock!)

Take it easy

...I know this single came out in January, which means that it's quite old in the online world - but anyway, I wanted to post it because it's fantastic.

he just smoked my eyelid and punched my cigarette

I want to marry the Robert Allen Zimmerman of 1965. Currently I can't stop listening to "Stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues again" (his voice in that song is so cool!).
Most of the above pictures found here.

Love songs

Some very sweet songs about love

Hypem Music Zeitgeit

Hypem has put together a list of the top 50 music artists of 2009 - and they asked 50 visual artists to create a logo/illustration for each band. You can see the results here!
(Several of my personal favourites made it on the list).
Pictures belong to the respective artist.

Wild things

We went to see "Where the Wild Things Are" today and I loved it so so much! To be honest, it is my second favourite film this year and I wouldn't mind watching it again right now.
Along with the wonderful images I fell in love with the soundtrack. So here's one of the film's brilliant songs by Karen O and the Kids!



If you want to know something about the making of the film, I can recommend Dazed Digital's interview with the producer Vincent Landay.

Music Love: Vampire Weekend

I'm so excited about Vampire Weekend's new album, which will be released in January 2010. You can download their new song "Horchata" for free here!

Try this in your bank

Here's a little video for everyone who loved the film "500 Days of Summer" (one of my favourites this year).
