How You Say...

  

 

  

 

  

Thank you. And goodnight.

Here's an AWESOME cover of Texas' own Archie Bell & the Drells' soul classic "Tighten Up" performed in 1980 by the Japanese electronic-music innovators Yellow Magic Orchestra. Wait for the delightfully awkward interview at the end. R.I.P. Don Cornelius.

Garden Variety

I've always loved terrariums but had never made one, until this past weekend. My pal Nikki, at North Haven Gardens, messaged me a few times last week about the great new arrivals the store had received for making a garden under/in glass and was ready to get started. Everything you see here, except for the vintage Campus Cutie doll, was purchased there. I needed a new hobby and I thought these would make great birthday prezzies for friends and the requests are rolling in! Right on! Another friend told me about Sprout Home. Really fun stuff going on there!

Beautiful

Prada has unveiled its campaign video for Spring/Summer 2012, lensed by Steven Meisel. Featuring a gas station runway scene set to the music of Sleigh Bells and closing with a drive out to the tune of Ariel Pink and Matt Fishbeck’s Holy Shit, the spinning radio dial distills the sounds of American music into a pastiche almost as whimsical, beautiful, bizarre, and ultimately chic as the motifs in the collection itself. Check it out.

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Victim of Trap | Generationals

I can't stop listening to this song. A million listens over the past few days. Below is a beautifully haunting video that's comprised of found footage from the Six Flags in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. 

The Happy Monday

As if today could get any better, the ending of it will, without a doubt, have me smiling tonight, through my sleep, and when I wake up. Just received an email from a friend in Washington State who I lost contact with at least twelve years ago. There used to be a time when a day didn't go by that I wasn't listening to this Volume All Star release. The "Let Me Be Your Pet" is my favesong, but I couldn't find it online. Here, you still get to hear Jovita's sweet voice. NIce to hear from you, Jovita. xx.

♡ Thom Browne ♡

A major favorite of mine every season, Thom Browne presented his Fall 2012 collection in Paris a few days ago and I've been smiling over it ever since. Good grief I love this man. I mean, really! More!

Free | 2.7 | Record Club. Feb Rotation

I think everyone has seen this poetic roasting of a clip from Portlandia by now. So hay. Wanna come to my DJ night? Record Club at the Texas Theatre has come around again and Steve Zimmerman and I are February's spin-ster hosts. We'll each bring a record a apiece and listen to them in their entirety. I already have mine picked out but can't share until you show up. More details.

Scenes From A Spring Day in Winter

Kicked back in the warm sunshine and snacked on a picnic of rainbow chard veggie wraps, cherries/grapes/clementines, veggie quiche, and chased it all down with freshly-pressed beet juice. Hiked 3 miles in shaded hilly woods and breezy open grasslands where we came close to kidnapping Domino, a sweet hound with the coolest coloring we'd ever seen. Couldn't have asked for a more dreamy day to celebrate the birth of the wonderfulness that is our Shoshi.
