Please, let me get what i want this time.

I Am Love

Pretentious - Yes, but i seriously enjoyed I Am Love. It's a story of a middle -aged woman, who, during the course of the film 

discovers that although she seems to have everything; servants working in their mansion, wonderful children, and

the respect from the whole of Milan, but she regrets everything that she has done, and feels nostalgic of her past in Russia, 

when she is with Antonio, her son's work partner. It really is a gripping film, and so beautifully filmed. It made me want to leap

up out of my seat and flee to Italy, in the lazy sun. I also think that Tilda Swinton does not look half bad, for 50!!

Too young to play dot to dots

The Bristol dot to dot festival for May was announced and instantly 

over excited me. Mystery Jets were headlining, along with 

Los Capesinos, and Blood Red Shoes. It's 3 days after my 16th

birthday (which to me seems really old, considering that i still feel 12), 

but apparently 16 is not old enough to attend at load of concerts at 

18+ even though it ends at 4 in the afternoon. I could try and make an

appearance, but i hardly look old for my age, and i don't especially 

want to face humiliation in front of the likes of Blaine Harrison.

I only found out about Wild Beasts (above) this week, and they too

are playing at the festival.

It's just not fair.

whilst i am ranting, i have to mention Blaine Harrison of the Mystery

Jet's new hair cut. He has been through many different doos, but this

i feel is the worst yet. He has travelled from ginger dread locks during 

the time of their debut album Making Dens, to his 80's frizz in 2008, 

(not that i keep an eye on it or anything).

Hush Puppies

I have always been fond of desert boots, ever since my elderly grandfather wore them oblivious of his old age style. When i saw Johnny Flynn in October, i noticed his girl friend wearing purple desert boots. It made me weep inside, as not only has she got the perfect boyfriend, but i can't complain that she's nasty, or wears horrible clothes. some people have it all.

By and By, i still want hush puppies, but when very close friends have them i feel i am "copying" them. I know i will regret it when i dont get them.............

Say Hello, and Wave Goodbye

Just found this song again, and everytime it cracks me up.

I really think it's a good song, but the singer Marc Almond hardly reaches the high notes effortlessly. The synthesizers, lighting and dangley earrings just show how much things have changed since the early 90's. It's quite ridiculous!

 Having said that, Soft Cell are dated, i think it's time they made a come back.

Dedication to Anon

The pig if i am not mistaken, 

supplies us with sausages, ham and bacon.

Let others say his heart is big, 

for i call it stupid of the pig.

                                                                                                

Polaroids

A friend gave me an old polaroid camera.

Seriously kind, and of course when she gave it to me 6 months ago, I was over excited to say the least.

but where do you buy films?

I know they are expensive, I am prepared to pay money, seeing as I got the camera free.

But I'm worried i will never get a film, and then they won't sell them anymore.

It will be too late.

A tleast Andy and John can keep me happy with their instant snaps.

       BECOMING AN INTELLECT.

Today shall be a good day. Despite the rain and the hibernation in a small bungalow all day. For tonight i am going to see my second Shakespeare play of the month, 'Juliet and her Romeo'.I haven't heard much about it, all i know is that it is set in an old people's home, and performed by OAP's...........I literally cannot wait.

Tuesday is coming home day.

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes.

Plus anybody who's anybody comes home on a Tuesday.

1 Follower!!!!!

WOO HOO in the words of blur, if i had a stereo blasting loud music this is what i would play from the roof of my one storie bungalow. 

We Are Back......

We are scientists finally return!!!

The hilarious pair Chris and Keith (plus some weird old man who seems so appear quite often).

So pleased to hear them again.

Postcards From Italy

Zach Condon from Beirut, it's not weird that i find him so attractive is it?

Alexa Made Well

These photos make me die a little inside. Mainly because they involve one woman who takes over quite a lot of the walls  in my bedroom.......ALEXA CHUNG. 

     She is photographed (above) in New York with her boyfriend Alex Turner who is admittedly also exceedingly cool. Daisy Lowe (higher above) i have not yet made up my mind about, although I can't deny that i wish also I looked like her. Some Beautiful People, Make Beautiful Photos.

I Speak Because i Can

Earlier this week i bought Laura Marling's second album "I speak because I can". It is so hard to believe that this girl is still only 20, yet she has achieved what other artist's might hope for in another 10 years. "The Devil's Spoke", is the first single and i feel it shows a lot more depth than any of her previous work. Possibly because no longer is it simply her and a guitar, also her lyrics show a spirit of someone far older than her. The album on the whole is thoroughly convincing, and definitely worth a listen............. this video is not the actual music video, that was disallowed by youtube!?

One Day........

As always, the favoured brandon Flowers must make an appearance near the beginning of this.

Photography by Gavin Bond, oh if i should have the chance!

"Fellow Drooges"

I love this photo of Malcolm Mcdowell, he looks so innocent which is funny having just watched 'If', and 'A Clockwork Orange'............

Visiting Paloma Faith

 

Having heard of her, but not really knowing a lot about her i was really excited to see Paloma Faith on Friday night.

She first appeared hidden behind Ostrich Feathers, and as she revealed herself she pounced onto the stage in a spandex cat suit covered in frills and trills. She changed outfits three times throughout the concert, but my film ran out after ten minutes. It was on my crappy camera, so the photo is hardly quality. The concert was amazing particularly 'Upside Down', when her band went crazy. She completely brought her cabaret, burlesque feel to the academy.

The Blog Begins..............

Who would have thought that i would finally give in to self-indulgence and create a blog. 

I fear that it will serve as a constant distraction, but I fear even more that i will become deadly boring and cry into Much Ado About Nothing if i have to revise any more thoroughly.

PLEASE LET'S HOPE THIS HAS WORKED.
