Cold Case







At the end of every episode of Cold Case, I'm always in tears. Watch 'em and weep.

Music: Holiday - Vampire Weekend

The two commercials I've seen both using Vampire Weekend's Holiday.


Tommy Hilfiger


Honda

And now, from Vampire Weekend themselves.

Movie: La Cité des enfants perdus

Why not cap off a weird day with a weird movie?






Jeunet et Caro's The City of Lost Children.

Feels like Pinocchio x Pan's Labyrinth x Inception (for children) x James and the Giant Peach x Coraline

What did I tell you about leather?









Also known as the THREE MONTH SUWELDO post.

Advertising: Tums

My favourite

I can't believe I'll be missing their concert this Saturday. I'm going to pretend I'll be at their mini private concert with YouTube and my earphones. Huhu, FML.

Quotable Quotes

William Blake 1757-1827   
Why do we always look to famous dead people for wise words when really, it's so simple. William Blake once said,
"Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night."

Dude, I could've told you that. 

P.S.
Dear Mr. Blake, please don't haunt me tonight. I am not bashing you, merely pointing out something odd I find.
Sincerely yours,
A fellow lover of words

Music: November (and a bit of December) 2010

Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion

Girls' Album

Deerhunter's Halcyon Digest

Phantogram's Eyelid Movies

 This is a very recent but delightful find. Tim said they sounded like New Look, which I took offense to. At least he made up for it by saying they sounded like an electronica version of Emily Haines. That's more like it. Phantogram plays this December 11 at Wrongbar, see you there?

Fuck Buttons' Tarot Sport

The Walkmens' Lisbon

I'm not even going to try and hide the fact that I really like Kid Cudi's album. Wild'n Cuz I'm Young is my personal favourite.

Morbid Puppetry


School of Seven Bells - I L U - Official Video from Vagrant Records on Vimeo.

I feel as though this is the brainchild Sia and Tim Burton.

Zexxy


I've been searching for this song for EIGHT YEARS.
No kidding.
I heard it when I first watched Cabin by the Lake when I was 15 and I can't believe I finally found it. It's the sexiest, wooziest, sleaziest, drugged up song in the world. Give it a listen. Trust me, you'll love it.

And while you're at it, listen to this too.


It was made famous by this  winning pole dance by Felix Cane.


Oh, oh, oh, last na. This was shared by Kab.

Maggie and Victor from Jason Magbanua on Vimeo.


Portishead is pretty zexxy too.

Brooklyn

It's been four years since I've been to Brooklyn, so it was nice to see it once again.








Ahh, Peter Luger for dinner.  How else can you cap off an awesome day? I've never had better steak in my life.

Damn son, if my friends didn't live in Manhattan, I'd definitely call Brooklyn my favourite borough.

The Danforth

 



Okay, I lied. The last photo was taken in Parkdale. It's funny how it's only a few steps west of where I work and I never saw it until last Saturday! It's this gorgeous space that is usually a cafe but also hosts film screenings and whatnots every so often. Polished wood and Victorian furniture can never go wrong.
