Les Jeunes de Paris

I love it when SNL does utterly absurd skits that really make no sense but end up being really funny (see Bryan Cranston and the Bottle of Sparkling Juice). I absolutely adore the hilarious dancing especially when they do it as a group. It's light footed and dainty. It reminds me of the dance number at the beginning of Austin Powers Goldmember. Emma Stone is magnificent.

I completely love these new Black Swan posters. They look like old book covers. I also see some Art Deco references going on here.

Love me some Art Deco. No other poster out there at the moment looks like these do. I want them all. Just classy stuff with the red, black, and white color palette. Reminds me of old movie posters and the cover of the novel Black Swan Green by David Mitchell (how fitting). The fonts are very well-chosen which is a very important factor for me. The Avatar font was terrible. Also, based on the heavenly trailer we wouldn't expect posters like these. These posters make me want to whip my hair and buy a bunch of art deco posters.

"Pull up in the monster

Automobile gangster
With a bad b-tch that came from Sri Lanka
Yeah I’m in that Tonka, colour of Willy Wonka
You could be the King but watch the Queen conquer
Ok first things first I’ll eat your brains
Then I’mma start rocking gold teeth and fangs
Casue that’s what a muthaf-cking monster do
Hairdresser from milan, thats what monster do
Monster Giuseppe heel that’s the monster shoe
Young money is the roster and the monster crew
And I’m all up all up all up in the bank with the funny face
And if I’m fake I aint notice cause my money aint
So let me get this straight wait I’m the rookie
But my features and my shows ten times your pay
50k for a verse no album out!
Yeah my money’s so tall that my barbie’s gotta climb it
Hotter than a middle eastern climate"

An excerpt from Kanye West's Monster.

Delicate Beauty

The cover for Robyn's Body Talk Part 3 which comes out next month. I can't decide whether this cover or the one for Body Talk Part 2 is my favorite. The blurry, wobbly effect here is hypnotizing, and she looks so delicate and fragile.

The blocks of color are splendid.

Cannot wait.

Hold on to Your Hat

This song will be amazing: Kanye's "All the Lights"

" 'All the Lights' has John Legend, The-Dream, Ryan Leslie, Tony Williams, Charlie Wilson, Elly Jackson, Alicia Keys, Fergie, Kid Cudi, Rihanna and Elton John on the same song," he revealed. "Some are things where I took Alicia Keys and I panned her a hard left, and then took Elly Jackson and panned a hard right because I like the way their voices sound together. Or it's Elton on the piano, Kid Cudi doing the chorus and it sounds completely seamless and completely ghetto at the same time," he laughed. "That's what I got from the year I took off," he said, reverting back to his earlier comment about connecting with his inner 5-year-old."

Restless People are crazy awesome-jungle, rainforest, giddy, gloriously resplendent,

primal pop-was not expecting it at all (thought they were going to be typical indie band but no)-you can barely understand what the lead singer is saying but it doesn't matter. Too busy dancing. See the images above to see how their music made me feel.

Lesands-band from California. The songs I hadn't heard yet by them were very good especially one called, I believe, Summer Skin. Shook the lead singer's hand after their set. He was wearing sick shoes. Check out Easy To Please and Pretenders. They just started in March! Dayum! That's impressive! Really liking them.


Think I saw the lead singer of The Drums (see blonde man in picture) watching Salem's set. Girl from Salem wearing huge sports jersey.

Just Because
