CK One Shock

I just think its hard to make an advert that encapsulates a brief wave of 'cool'. I welcome thee CK One Shock advert with open arms. Might go and have a sniff meself.

Sleep Party People

Danish post-rock lofi band. The Guardian has written an article about their 2nd new album, which recalled my first experience of listening to them a while back before I discovered the joys of venturing out 4 times a week on a slack uni schedule. Understandably they have some more upbeat new stuff but I can't help but to circle old territory - in this video I am drawn into their movements consequently reassuring my liking of this seasoned track despite perceiving the branded bunny masks a little outdated (think The Knife). They will be playing White Heat in Soho, April 17th.

Happy New Year!!!

To start the New Year in style why not cleanse those hangover legacies and 'returning to work' blues by investing in some decent charitable merchandise for your new January wardrobe.

The advertising house that is Mother, has come up with a nifty idea to sell a limited amount of T-shirts with predictive, psychic slogans that remain unbeknowst to the purchasers until delivery. For £100 you can get your paws on one of these tees of the future, being comforted by the fact that 100% of the revenue goes to Age UK, despite any fortune told! Make the rising fuel prices and fixed pension incomes bearable for someone today.

Broken Social Scene Tee Above

As I love Canadian indie bands and their origins, I could not help but blog about the Montreal based, non-profitable charitable scheme that is The Yellow Bird Project. Catching various musicians they ask them to design a T-shirt for a charity of their choice with the likes of Broken Social Scene, Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah, and Bon Iver having graced this tradition in the past.

   



Baubliscious

Feeling the festive season rather late, I decided to quickly make a penguin bauble after being inspired by a gift from a friend. Lots of thread, circled round a fluffy ball you get from arts and crafts stores, and pins to hold it in place. Hurrah! Live long and prosper you crafty thing.
