Happy New Year 2009

Have a blast one!

Fissy Wissy Let's Get Lissy

I was hooked up as I was listening to Lissy Trullie that somehow it reminds me a bit about my ever favorite, The Velvet Underground. The band consists Lissy Trullie as the lead vocalist and guitar player, Harley Viera-Newton as the bassist, Eben D'Amico as the guitarist and Josh Elrod as the drummer. Truly say, I was enraptured by Lissy's boyish voice as it was grasping through my ears. Their music is a perfect blend of vintage dancey-wave that was common in 60's era with modern affair. Likewise I was caught by Lissy's allure; her remarkable androgyny style as she swaggers away with her boyish attitude. Mingling it together simply puts her on my influence lists. 

You got to watch this kick-ass video. What can I say more, her voice is just amazing!

Lanvin ♥ Acne

Hello, sorry for the lack of post, been very busy lately with my quarterly finals. Lanvin ♥ Acne collection is just arriving online and in-store at Acne Studio. This will be the first denim line created by Alber Elbaz from Lanvin. It is truly a unique collaboration where the classic style of Lanvin meets the hip style of Acne Jeans.

Oh, and I just updated the song on my blog to Graveyard Girl - M83. Since I can't stop listening to them and I hope you like it too as much as I do :)

Oh My Gosh, Oh My Gosh!!! The Kills' Brand New Video: Tape Song

Okay... okay... so firstly pause the stereo before you play this video because it's kind of a bit distracting...

The video was made by Jamie and VV themselves by using SUPER 8mm CAMERA! Daaang! It was like soooooooooo cool!!! They shot this video whilst they were touring with The Raconteurs. So, you might spot Jack White in the video, he was playing hand-tossing game with Jamie, it was hilarious! Their good friend, Owen Oppenheimer edited it together for them in London. If you found this video quite a bit low quality and blurry, but then again considering about their minimum equipment to create this video, it's such a really big effort. For me, it created the  stylishly grainy look.

P.S. I'm considering to dye my own hair with deep pure black color, since my natural hair is auburn-ish, in short it sucks! Also I want to let my bangs grow longer and longer until it covers my whole eyes. Like this one below, I know it sounds like a bit quirky but anyway... who cares! Aaaand I got the biker jacket that I have wanted all this time at H&M. What else could get any better?

Just "Convo" Yokoo

I just found Yokoo's collections of scarves via Etsy online shopping. Her extra chunky collections of scarves are very eccentric and outstanding. She made them by hand, so don't be surprised if you find it quite a "bit" pricey, but I think it's quite reasonable. The collections' price are ranging from around 25$ to 150$ (for a really huge and chunky scarf). For the standard shipping, it charges 5$ for USA only and 15$ for everywhere else. If you're interested, just convo her via Etsy.com.

Polaroid: A Short Film

An absurd journey of loneliness...

Part #1

Part #2 - End

I just found this short film a while ago, when I was browsing through YouTube. This video was made by an Indonesian student whose now studying in Perth, named, Nadia Astari. Showing her imagination of surrealism.

Le Corps Mince de Françoise

If you're thinking that this band is from France (again), hey! wrong answer. Yeah, they're from Helsinki, Finland, indeed. Together, the "skinny" pop raving trio, Emma, Mia and Malin are ready to carry you away with their coolest attitude packed with their catchy tunes. Bringing you, a little bit sense of M.I.A., Cansei de Ser Sexy, YELLE, Le Tigre, Junior Senior mixed together. Next Oct 29th, Le Corps Mince de Françoise's "Ray-Ban Glasses" single is going to be released. Check out their latest scoop on their own blog, http://lcmdf.blogspot.com.

Sou Brette Jewellery, Fiction Romance (Teaser)

The "Fiction Romance" collection of Sou Brette Jewellery is still on progress, and it will be out next November with her own new website. I'm really curious and have a high expectation for her next collection, since Muqliza Imroni always creates edgy jewellery, with unexpected design. I'm really impressed by her creative mind.

And here are some of her previous collection, "Wolf Parade", "Squared and Disfigured", and "Phantasmagoria":

Wolf Parade

Squared and Disfigured

Phantasmagoria

Je t'aime Françoise Hardy!

A blast from the past... I've always been musing on Françoise Hardy from time-to-time. For me, she's a forever icon and listed in my favorites next to Nico, Edie Sedgwick, and Jane Birkin. Maybe, if you realized that my last 2 posts were about French music (Housse de Racket and YELLE) you may considered me as a Francophile. I think, maybe I am ;p

Yell a YELLE!

YELLE is coming to Seattle next Oct 27th, and the ticket's price is only 15$ but shit, it's only sold to 21+. I got jealous when I watched the tour teaser, above. Man, how I wish I were 5 years older. Oh, and her "Ce Jeu" vinyl will be available soon, gosh I'm looking forward for it! For me, she's like French version of M.I.A.

Elephants... Teeth Sinking into Heart

I hope, I'm not too late to post this. Rachael Yamagata just released her second full-length album, Elephants... Teeth Sinking into Heart last October 7th. The album is split into two CDs, that were very contrast to each other. If you are head over heels for Sara Bareilles, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, or even Norah Jones. Rachael Yamagata will fit your ear perfectly.

Smash with de Racket!

Housse de Racket - Oh Yeah !

My palms are over sweating for Housse de Racket's French accent. Next October 13th their first album, Forty Love will be out, and they will throw their own kickoff in Paris next October 29th. Gaze their new très magnifique video, "Oh Yeah!" and smash back their song on iTunes.

I Fancy

I really fancy this origami fold album, it's really vintage-ish and very unique. The scanned photographs were shaped in circles, and each triangles section were filled with ephemera and mementoes of these people: buttons, pressed flowers, bits of jewelry and lace, old letters, stamps, shells, vintage images, and even locks of hair! If you're interested for this album, contact Paperantix via email, it will cost you about $100. I'm really inspired, maybe I can make them by my own. I think it will be out of the box for your Sweet Seventeen birthday invitations.

Spring Eye Cravers

Lanvin Spring 2009

Paris Fashion Week may already passed, but I still feeling the euphoria when it comes to fashion magic. From all the Spring 2009 collections, my eyes are craving for Lanvin. Watch out people, drapery and one shouldered spring dress are finally in again. This video is freshly posted by STYLE.COM just yesterday.

Native Korean Rock and the Fishnets' Kickoff!

Remember Native Korean Rock and the Fishnets? They had performed their debut show at Union Pool in Williamsburg a month ago. Sorry for the lack of post, I forgot to post this down. Based on "another" Karen's project, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen’s edgy banshee vocals is starkly juxtaposed with their sweet tune. It was a thrilled amazement that I experienced as I watched them on YouTube. I love their sailor-y outfits and Karen O was (and always) amazing. Oh boy, how I wish I didn't miss their show and flied swiftly away to East Coast. The debut show was a big success, as obviously indicated by their sold-out-tickets for two nights in a row.
