Record Makers App

Ok, I'm a BB fan and I would never buy an iPhone. Having said that I want this application sooo badly!

click here to see it

It has been developped by French record label Record Makers due to their 10th Anniversary. This label represents artists like Sebastien Tellier, Acid Wash, I love UFO and Sex In Dallas. The application consists of a series of drawings that are divided in 3 sections and can be matched with one finger. Drawings are made by renown artists Mrzyk & Moriceau, here are some examples of their work:

Inside The Studio

Ever since I started reading The Selby's photoblog I wandered what HIS house would look like. Now Style.com has done a short video going into his studio. It may not be his house but it is just as good!

It is def. a good interview, his studio is messy and an amazing creative space, filled with those little things he likes to look for in other people's houses!

Oh Todd, you do not look wanky at all!

Jamaica

They're Parisian and were first called Poney Poney and created a LP called When Do You Wanna Stop Working?. This band was good. Now they've signed with Ed Banger Records and have changed their name to Jamaica. This band is cool. Here is their first single, produced by Xavier de Rosnay from Justice.

Pharrell's "The Tank"

Pharrell Williams, musician, producer, "fashion designer” has now decided to explore yet another field of the creative world. He has designed "The Tank" chair, a limited collection that comes in 4 colours and that you can buy at Colette for only 17350€…

I find it funny that he chose a tank as inspiration for a chair, considering that he is American and against the war…I guess it's one of those things I can't wrap my mind around, I mean, inspiration just comes, but why choose something that you consider negative as the main idea behind your first industrial design project which, surely, you want it to turn out to be a success? Wouldn't that screw it up? or jinx it? like mess with your magnetic-guru-supersticious-cosmos-wave-field-stuff and result in a bad career just because the first one went against your personal ideas? I don't know... Probably I'm just reading to much into something that in reality has no substance behind it; it is what it is.

It's just not quite my cup of tea...

A Single Man 2

Thanks Irina :

Nostalgia

Yesterday I went to see A Single Man. I had been waiting to see it forever but due to a series of events it never seemed to work out; but yesterday it did.

The truth is I'm still in the A-Single-Man-Cloud, and I know it seems like I'm exaggerating, but the film is fantastic. Every single detail has been taken care off, the fact that the camera does not produce a digital and sharp image but has instead a bit of grain, like the old 35mm cameras, sets a scene and an ambiance that transports you back to that precise moment. The camera work is brilliant, the angles and shots are really interesting and combined with Tom Ford's aesthetics, the film never seems to be slow, even when nothing is happening you feel like there are so many things to admire that you don’t even notice the lack of action. The slight hints of humor are enough to stop the movie from falling into a dark, depressive spiral yet maintain the sober tone of the movie. The way in which the sounds are overlapped make you more aware of all the images you are seeing. Tom Ford’s love of the beautiful is shown in every bit of the movie, from the aesthetics of the props and the wardrobe to the close ups and post production. And, to put the cherry on perfection, Jon Kortajarena has a small part in it, and we all know how I feel about Jon…

I want her hair

Everything screams Tom Ford. I want a Tom Ford production stamp on my life.

By now everyone knows I've always wanted to be hippie, a groupie, to live the 60s and 70s to their finest and the movie only emphasized it more. The hair, the make up, the clothes, the furniture, the cars, the manners, the words, groovy, the colours, the music, the noise, the air...

How can I feel nostalgic for a time I’ve never lived?
