Weird Weeds – ‘Red’

Happy 40th Anniversary, Woodstock!

“Woodstock became recognized as one of the most significant events in the history of rock music, but its effect was even grander. In an America rife with racial tension and at war in Vietnam, Woodstock defined the culture of a generation, a message of hope for a brighter and more peaceful future”

Burk Uzzle’s photographs make me wish time travel existed.

Check out some more of his amazing photographs from the iconic musical event here and read more about the festival here!

…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead – ‘Inland Sea’

Photo Fun

I have recently put together collections of photos that I have taken over the past 6 months. Check them out here and here!

Pink Floyd – ‘One Of These Days’

Who knew..

… that post-its could be this much fun!?

“Where my idea comes from is that every time I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those Post-It notes and deadlines. I manipulate the Post-It notes to do pixel-like stop motion and there are some interactions between real actors and Post-Its,” Savannah College of Art and Design student Bang-yao Liu said of his incredibly clever little clip.

Art In Manila – ‘The Sweat Descends’

Love

Thanks to Le Love, a gorgeous website that I have been visiting for quite some time now. Loads and loads of sexy imagery and romantic bits and pieces that really tug at the heart strings!

Jessica Lea Mayfield – ‘Kiss Me Again’

Oh Hai!

… just a busy little bee with Uni as of late. For instance, last night I pulled an all-nighter because I thought that a 3,000 word essay was due today. I re-read the criteria sheet about an hour ago, after I had completed the entire assignment, only to see that it’s not due until the 19th which is a week away. Gosh, I’m clever. But I’m not complaining… this just gives me more time to study for exams and not add another assignment to the last minute list. I have added some more stuff into the writing section, as it’s all I seem to be bloody doing these past few months, so have a squiz if you’ve got nothing better to do.

However, only under a month left until my little holiday to the snow with my boyfriend. Oh Yay! It’s definitely pulling me through.

Gary Numan – ‘Down In The Park’

Today I Will Be Happier Than A Bird With A French Fry

fffound; Foggy Dubai

What a wicked photo. Kinda reminded me that I’m heading back up to the Gold Coast tomorrow. Not keen for the 6 hour drive. I’m staying at the Grandparent’s crib in Brisbane until we find a crib of our own down at the coast. Being a Uni student trying to rent is so annoying and such a hassle. We have three inspections tomorrow that my room mate is going to so hopefully something comes out of it!

I won’t have the net for a while,
but when I do I’ll have a lot to vent, share and show… I’m sure.

Pixies – ‘La La Love You’

Way Cool

I have always loved Peter Bjorn and John.
Watch their new clip, ‘Lay It Down’.

Awesome stuff.

It’s All Good.

I have just finished paying off my digital SLR camera. It should be arriving at the end of the week!
I’m so excited.

Today I pulled the old Sega Master System out of it’s box and set it up on my TV. I have been playing Sonic the Hedgehog (the original) all night. The music, the characters and all the different levels bring back so many childhood memories. I had a little browse on Ebay before to see what other games they had. I already have Sonic, Wonder Boy, Alex the Kidd and Ghost House.

I am such a geek!

Prince – ‘Rasberry Beret’

Bookity

Picked up this book today;

I can’t wait to get into it once I’m finished with Lennon’s biography. That book is like the neverending story. It’s huge! Very good though. Lennon is a complex and very interesting character.

Jane’s Addiction – ‘Superhero’

Festival Fun

So, Big Day Out Music Festival ‘09 is on this Sunday at the Gold Coast. I will be proper fucked while I watch some amazing musicians do their thing.

I’m pretty much as excited as this elephant!

However, I’m not that excited to get up at 6am and drive for 5 hours.
A little “toilet & lunch” stop at Nimbin should keep me in high spirits though (no pun intended).

Bob Dylan – ‘Meet Me In The Morning’

Incense and Deftones

Today I drove past a bird on the road that had quite obviously been hit by a car and it looked like it was still alive. Being me, I kept driving to find a place to turn around so I could go back and help. I pulled over, found an old towel in the back of my car, and went over to the little birdy.

I mean that when I say it was little. This thing looked like some kind of plush toy that your Grandma would give to you with your eggs for Easter. My heart broke as I quickly bent down and looked closer. He was done for. It must have been the wind that made him move to make me think that he was alive in the first place.

It was sad. My mood was off all day afterwards.

Oh, and the motorbike I keep driving past everyday that is for sale has been sold. This was also sad. I had a dream last night that I got a loan out from the bank and just said “FUCK IT”, and went and bought it.

Maybe I would’ve actually done it.

Tonight on eBay I bid on a Nikon D60 SLR Camera. $1,000 at the moment… and on the rise. 1 day and 21 hours to see if i’ll be a grand short due my spontaneous urge to splurge as of late.

I need to stop my impulsive shopping and save my pennies for a holiday!
But I need a good camera for a holiday anyway, right?

And a motorbike to come home to. Definitely.

Deftones – ‘Teenager’

Lady Bonjour Rusée!

I love vintage Kate Moss.

“My mum used to say to me, ‘You can’t have fun all the time,’ and I used to say, ‘Why not? Why the fuck can’t I have fun all the time?”
-Kate Moss

Tegan and Sara – ‘Don’t Confess’

The Beauty In Secrets

Upon my random browsings one boring night, I came across this uniquely cool, yet somewhat disturbing website.

PostSecret is an ongoing community mail art project, created by a dude named Frank Warren, in which people mail their secrets or deepest thoughts anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard (or something similar). Some secrets are then chosen and posted on the PostSecret website, or used for PostSecret’s books or museum exhibits.

Soooo many of the PostSecrets that I looked at and read had some sort of effect on me, good and bad. Some were beautiful, some were depressing. Some were hilarious whilst others were quite melancholy and shocking. Who knows, one day I may just send in my deepest, most darkest secrets and thoughts. Below are a few that either stood out to me, or had some kind of special meaning or effect on me. It was hard to choose! There are just so many…

Humanity at its finest… And because of it I am falling in love with the world again.

I think i’ll spend my Angus and Robertson Book Voucher I got for Christmas on this:

Led Zeppelin – ‘Fool In The Rain’
