While I’ve been whittling away at the nerdy version of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) the other much sexier version of Sao Paolo art-rock band CSS (cansei de ser sexy… tired of being sexy) released a new album Donkey. Whilst I have been slow on the uptake hearing Let’s Make Love and being quite cautious of [...]
Oh Mother of Pearl, so semi-precious in you soft focus world… Ah, one of my favorite songs by Roxy Music comes to mind whenever I see these lovely images from Swedish Blogger (just 16!) Arvida Bystrom… it’s a glimpse into the world of the artist teen, where everything and everyone is glistening with pristine [...]
Sometimes on a rainy afternoon, all you need is some nice music to lift your spirits. Quirky and lovely British band the Mystery Jets, from Eel Pie Island (in the middle of the Thames River just South West of London). They have an amazing ability to make beautiful cheery music without provoking the bitter cynic [...]
If you’re not European, chances are you’ve never seen Eurovision. It’s kind of like the Olympics of pop music, really bad pop music. It’s notoriously campy and filled with Eurotrash blondes and tons of make-up. Ordinarily I’d say catching a song on there that’s halfway good is unusual, but last night was an exception.

Aside from the quirky name, which sounds to be a [...]
Before my brother came along, it was just me and my little sister for a majority of our childhood. Well, exactly half of mine…. but we had to share everything, our room, toys, sometimes even clothes. That’s the way it is for most of us. The thing that I always felt separated us were our [...]
There aren’t many songs that I automatically take a liking to, but one day Rocky came home singing a song… then he played it for me… and after hearing Ready For The Floor , by Hot Chip. I just about sang this song all week. So I’m going to share this pleasure with [...]
Cansei de ser sexy - Lets make loveOf course… when I came across Pedestrian.TV’s video clip about them, I instantly wanted to know all about this Brazialian, art student electro band… but it turns out, I know some of their songs, and I quite like them.

In my younger years, when I first started getting interested in fashion and style, my inspirations mostly revolved around music. Early on, like most kids wanting to be different, I became very interested in ‘alternative music’, and back then it meant something else. Siouxsee and the Banshees was one of my favorite bands, Siouxsee Sioux [...]
