Camden town.

The past few days, I have made several trips up to the Camden market and have been finding some cool things. My friend Patricia was in town visiting and it was si bien de la voir! Tonight we went back to the area for the Black Lips concert which was a really good time. This morning I went into the studio with Mama for a photo shoot so those pictures should be up soon!

I'm getting the VB itch. Are you?

Take me back.

Oh, if I could be taken back in time, please take me back to this night. In October, Yelle graced New York with her presence and we jumped for joy and and snagged us some tickets. So, off went down to Webster Hall and meandered through the crowd until we were satisfied with our view. I, being somewhat vertically challenged, couldn't see a darn thing from the floor, so us ladies found a way to boost ourselves up onto a side platform giving us that stunner view in the first picture. I sang along as much as I could, but when she held her microphone out to the crowd, the Anglophone audience didn't quite have their french down. She had a good laugh about that. Of course she was called out for an encore, wearing a new outfit and looking magnifique!

Overall, we had a ball. Please come back to NYC, tu nous manques!

RAIRities.

So my Limewire has been letting me down lately. Tisk tisk, I know, serves me right for using the darn thing in the first place. However, I am now  back to using torrents and am finding some great new disks. Here is a 6 disk ensemble of, I quote, "b-sides, remixes, rarities, edits and exclusive live only tracks" by Air. It has now been loading for over 24 hours and I am growing impatient but hopefully torrent will be kind to me and give me something yummy. 

If anyone is up for testing their patience, let me know what you think.

Tune.

Probably one of the most handy things to have in your NYC survival kit is an iPod loaded with tunes that get you excited about walking. Thanks to my handy step counter on my cell phone, I am now aware of how much I actually walk in a day. Try 10+ kilometers in a 24 hour period. Needless to say I am always searching for my new favourite walking tune. This one has been my ultimate favourite for the past couple days. The calmer intro is just short enough that by the time I make the move to change to another song, the upbeat part starts again and I end up listening to it a second, third or fourth time before I force myself to change the song. 

Enjoy!

A violent, yet flammable world.

So I got a pretty neat assignment today for 2D. The task at hand is to make a poster for a band/ artist of choice on the computer using no text, practicing transparency and layering. I went through my iTunes and searched images on google for hours until I came across these great pictures of Au Revoir Simone and thought they would be perfect. These three talented ladies are from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which I have considered as a possible home for next year. Of course it's far too early to go apartment hunting, but I can't help peaking on websites at some of those dreamy studios in Soho! All I know is I have to find a place with lots of floor space to fit a couple blow-up mattresses so you kids can come visit.
