This is the latest video "Giving Up The Gun" from Vampire Weekend, and is full of cool cameos ... and better language than the last one ;)



Found via Black Eiffel

FANTASTIC

I really wanted to see Fantastic Mr. Fox when it came out, but couldn't find anyone interested in going and never found the time to go solo.



So, all the fantastic things I keep reading about it around blogland has got me anxiously awaiting the March 23rd release to DVD.

If I Had $250 To Drop

then I would take a week off work this summer to go to Bonaroo!!!


An amazing music festival in Manchester, Tennessee that has an incredible lineup for 2010 ...

Kings of Leon, The Avett Brothers, She & Him, Phoenix, Regina Spektor, Norah Jones, Jay-Z, Weezer, Ok Go, Blitzen Trapper, The Flaming Lips, Dave Matthews, Zac Brown etc.

A whole year's worth of live concerts from really great artists/bands in just one week would be so worth it ... now just to find someone adventurous enough to join me.

She & Him Volume 2

If you absolutely adore her


















then you are sure to love them












and their latest debuts March 23rd


















check out the first release here.

Steal of A Deal

I found a bargain yesterday on Amazon and just had to snatch it up .. a 2 year subscription of Country Living Magazine for just $13.78!!!

($13.00 subscription + $0.78 tax)

If you love this adorable magazine with the great ideas too, you can grab this deal here until February 28th.

Addiction

The lovely couple for whom I often house sit went to Hawaii earlier this month and gifted me with these Mauna Loa Dark Chocolate Macadamias. Oh my goodness !! are these things so delicious that since opening the bag they've become my addiction.

Melody Gardot

I recently discovered Melody Gardot and her divine music; thanks to the bit CBS Sunday Morning did on her amazing story. Following an accident during college (she was hit by a car while riding her bicycle) Melody suffered some serious injuries including to her brain that seriously effected her speech, memory and left her hypersensitive to light/sound.
Once attempts to heal via therapy/drugs failed, she picked up music and slowly began to heal while finding her incredible voice.



You can learn more about her story here and visit her website here.

Knappa

I really, really, really want this Knappa Pendant Lamp @ IKEA ... very modern and beautifully designed.

One would never guess it was such an awesome steal at only $30.00. I seriously want/need this thing!!

It Might Get Loud

I finally got around to renting this documentary (thank you redbox) and it was SO good! If you really love music, have any interest in the electric guitar or just like learning some of the history behind 3 rock legends; then this is a must-see movie.
I mean there is a "science" to getting the right sounds in music and those who understand that science, it is just amazing what they can do.



Also, I have to say that Jack White has some killer style and the movie has got me interested in his Raconteurs music too.

Hilarious

I know this commercial isn't really new but no matter how many times I watch, it still cracks me up ... love this kind of humor.
