Weather forecast

I just read about this new super group called The Dead Weather. It's somewhat of a pick'n'mix of rockers consisting of Jack White of obvious musical projects as The White Stripes and the Raconteurs, Alison Mosshart from the Kills (who are playing on Wednesday in Wellington, oh how I wish I was going), Jack Lawrence, the bassist from the Raconteurs, and Dean Fertitta, the Queens Of The Stone Age guitarist.

You can listen to their single 'Hang you from the Heavens' here:

Alison's gritty, swaying vocals, the off kilter drum beat, and the droning guitar riffs make it a great listen for a day when you want all is to be submerged in gritty goodness.

Indeed

I love this new Lily Allen song, 'Not fair'.

On the surface it seems to be sweet and innocent but when you really listen to the lyrics its far more interesting than I could ever had realised. It reminds me a little of the way Jenny Lewis works within Rilo Kiley. I also quite like the photo of her on the most recent issue of Pulp.



It makes me want to do three things:

1. Thief back my 30 strong nail polish collection I gifted to a young friend during my later teen years during a spontaneous spring clean and reinvention of my self. This just reinforces the necessity of my hoarding ways in that I really do use things years later. Just like the emergency wrapping paper collection will come in handy one of these birthdays . . .

2. Get a blunt fringe again and get my GHD on.

3. Arm my wrists in a similar magpie obsessive manner.

The benefit of Sprouts

Love thee long time I do the Sprout bags. These things are not only eco friendly, being made of organic cotton grown and sewn in India, they are terribly stylish and have the cutest designs from homegrown New Zealand designers. I went to the seconds sale a few years ago and managed to buy them out of a few of their designs as they make the best presents.

My beautiful Felicity reminded me of their existence today when she walked in with this one.



I'm also in love with these two.

I've decided to scrap Classics and become a happy yet raging Viking.

What has been going on. Where to go from here. What to do.
