The Moldy Peaches. (Indie band)

You probably know the Juno song, yes, from the movie Juno.
Today, not talking about movie, but an indie band - Moldy Peaches.
(Alright, there are some discussions about the genre of the band - indie, indie rock, antifolk, blah blah blah - which I don't really give a damn as I'm not really sure about the diffrence. All I know is that the music is amazing, and that's enough.)

I don't know, but I think this gonna be a long post because I have so much to share! I feel like the passion is burning inside my heart after listening to so many good songs, beautiful unique voices and original indie music. Too much to be shared.

Well, cut the craps.
The Moldy Peaches is founded by Adam Green and Kimya Dawson, both of them are talented and despite their cooperation, their own musics are also refreshing and different.


First of all, here I present the Moldy Peaches cover for the 'Juno Song'- named Anyone Else But You.


I Forgot. No, not I forgot but yes, that is the title of the song - I Forgot.
(I saw one of the comments and which makes me smiled to myself: "the ten seconds of noises at the end surprised me.....but then again, they're the moldy peaches. They can make whatever kinds of noises they want.")

And I found that their lyrics are so ... funky? I don't know what word should I use to express my feeling. I just feel that they are very different.


Nothing Came Out.
I feel like they are in a conversations instead of singing. The feeling is so unusual.

Now, let's turn to Kimya Dawson, her voice is so pure. I feel relaxing by listening to her voice.

So Nice So Smart.


The Competition.
Her lyrics are so cute.
It's like she's just telling us her dairy story, like 'I'm reading, I'm singing now, I'm going to cook..yes, I am telling you a story.' Yet, it brings out some lessons.
I really like!


I Love You Sweet Baby.
The whole thing, music and the lyrics, is totally different from others!

Now, Adam Green:


Jessica.
Both of them, Adam Green and Kimya Dawson, do have the sense of humour.
I just can't help smiling when listening to their songs.


Dance With Me.


Nat King Cole.


What can I say?
They are genius.
Is that exaggeration?
But I really love their music.
I know I am too late to discover.

Anyway, there are much more, check them out!
Unfortunately I can't share all of them, too many!!
I've just spent my whole night clicking on their videos last night.

Hope you do like it.
Enjoy! :)

Massimo Vignelli

I first saw Massimo Vignelli in Helvetica. Massimo is a modernist master in design, he advocates functionality, simplicity and clean layout in his works. In this great interview with Design Matters, he shares his philosophy in design and talks about his free book online for students, teachers, designers and people of love design to download and share.

'Lost in sofa'

If I could have this...



Then, I could loosen myself up by immersing in it with books and movies.

If I could have this...



Then, everything could get lost in it.



Carefree.



Even reading or watching movie with a cup of coffee.



'Lost in sofa' by DAISUKE MOTOGI.

Designer's words:
"Things often get lost under the sofa. It’s ordinary for a coin which slipped out of your pocket, or a never-to-be-found remote to be accidentally found in between/underneath the sofa cushions. Maybe you’ll find a forgotten 10,000 Yen bill that you once hid there…"

I discovered this sofa when I was flipping through a magazine, and immediately I fall for it.
I just cant help sharing this, I am in love with functional and convenient stuffs with comtemporary design. Most importantly, it looks nice and comfortable!

How nice if I could have a space for it...

Dutch photographer - Ruadh Delone.

Check this Dutch photographer out! - Delone Fotografie.

He did capture something else other than portraits, but it is mainly the portrait photography that takes my breath away.

He categorises the portraits under 'Faces'. Some of his works:


This is the first of his works that intrigues my interest.
There is a caption under the picture - 'Pain'


'Swallow'


'Tears'





"DeLone seems to love taking portraits of himself and his children. His idea’s and concepts are amazing. Some images seem to make you feel uncomfortable purely because his children are used for most of his wacky idea’s, but they are very effective models and portray his idea’s well."


"As a child I drew a lot and only much later, in 2007, I discovered that a camera the same work but in 1/100th of a second.With manipulation of color, elements, etc. I make the final image to a personal result.My heart is definitely in portrait photography. This is characterized mostly by a touch of surrealism." (I believe that it's quoted from Ruadh Delone.)

Black Swan.

Beautiful thriller, yet seducing.
Ballet itself is so elegant yet painful, with all the standing and twisting movement on toes. Ouch.
Just like the movie. Mixture of feelings.



Natalie Portman's performance is definitely amazing.

Inspirational movie.

An inspirational movie.
Especially for those who has forgotten the dreams they once had.

Dreams have value.
But, it'll come true if you believe.

Dran

Discovered this artist Dran . Please click on his name to his website! Interesting!

In the beginning, I saw these artpieces of him in Hookedblog:







- from his "I Have Chalks" exhibition.

And I think, 'Ahh.. interesting. Who is Dran?'
So there it is, Dran's website.
Eccentric x abnormally attractive.
