I had a dream last night that there was no music, that one day I woke up and my iTunes was empty and there was nothing beautiful to listen to. It was all gone. I’m dealing with that by listening to all my current favourite songs over and over and over again, committing them to [...]

Australian pop singer Darren Hanlon‘s dancing is just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. This amazing video was directed by Natalie van den Dungen, the lady who unwittingly gave me the idea for my tattoo (which I haven’t got yet, don’t worry Mum) when I spent a weird day with her and Darren in [...]

Comrades, do you ever scroll and scroll and scroll through your iPod and never find anything you want to listen to? I have so much music but I want to hear something new and special. Current loves include the latest Animal Collective album (I know), Papercuts and The Dodos. Share with me?

Tonight my dear, dear friend Kate and her band An Horse are going to be performing on The Late Show with David Letterman. If you are in America, please watch it! Tonight! And please love them and go and see them play and buy their record. Whenever I think of her on TV in front [...]

If anyone’s been reading for a while now, they’ll know that about a year ago I completely lost my mind over some incredible brooches by Melbourne designer Lost in the Woods. The only problem was I couldn’t find anywhere to buy these little babies online. UNTIL NOW. That’s right. It’s only taken me a year [...]

I often lament the loss of the mix tape in today’s courting ritual. Is there anything better than receiving a personalised collection of tunes from your lover? I used to spend hours slaving over my stereo creating mixes for my friends. Now I don’t even know anyone who still has a tape deck! And when [...]

How lovely are the ladies from Au Revoir Simone? This trio from New York make the sweetest music and are so well dressed. I thought I would leave you with some pretty ladies to look at while I’m away in Rome (eee!). I hope you all have happy holidays. I’ll be back on January [...]

When I saw John Vanderslice supporting Death Cab For Cutie in Frankfurt last year, I had NO IDEA he was a fricking genius. Okay, I’m not the biggest fan of his music but his photos are incredible. Really, really incredible. He has slideshows on his website of all his past tours and I just spent [...]

We went to see The Darjeeling Limited last weekend. Before the main feature they played Hotel Chevalier, the Wes Anderson short that acts as a precursor to the film. If you can ignore all the hype about how you get to see Natalie Portman naked, it’s actually pretty awesome. Strangely, I think what I loved [...]

I love Ben Gibbard. I LOVE him. I know that’s probably not a very cool thing to say anymore but I think DCFC are great, and his All-Time Quarterback album is incredible*. So it was no surprise that The Postal Service, his long-distance project with Dntel’s Jimmy Tamborello, is really awesome too. The three singles [...]

Could ex-Concretes singer Victoria Bergsman be the best dressed woman in pop? She looks magnificent in every photo I see but my absolute favourite of her outfits is the dress below. She wore it at the Manchester show last year and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. I’m positive it’s vintage, [...]

This is neat. German art student Jana Ruprecht has created an illustration for every one of The Magnetic Fields’s 69 Love Songs. The project, titled 69 Illovestrations, is available online. Here are a few samples with their corresponding mp3s. The Magnetic Fields – Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side The Magnetic Fields – [...]

I’m quite a big fan of the posters by Jason Munn of Small Stakes. Not only are his clients some of my favourite bands (Pedro the Lion, American Analog Set, Beulah, Death Cab For Cutie, Sufjan Stevens), but his work is consistently super. He’s from California and he has a poster shop on his website, bless his [...]

Ryland Bouchard is The Robot Ate Me. Ryland Bouchard is also responsible for all the pretty artwork that appears on TRAM’s albums, website and t-shirts. His Carousel Waltz album was one of my absolute favourites of last year. I haven’t heard the new one yet but apparently it’s completely nutso (official musical terminology don’t you know). Anyway, his [...]

Tracy Maurice is the artist behind the beautiful illustrations on The Arcade Fire‘s award-winning debut album, Funeral. In fact, Tracy’s won an award too – a Juno for best album art. She’s quite a hard one to find information on, but I believe she’s a Tokyo-based Canadian, and her illustrations are just lovely. Listen: The Arcade Fire – Wake [...]

Meg Hunt has teamed up with the fabulous K Records to produce this great t-shirt. I bought one immediately because I’ve been pining after Meg’s work forever. Here’s the direct link to the shop page.

I love The Concretes. I LOVE them. I saw them a few months before singer Victoria Bergstrom left to pursue a solo career and it was one of the best shows I’ve seen this year. The artwork for The Concretes’ last two albums is by fellow Swede Liselotte Watkins and it’s beautiful. There’s something really glamorous [...]

I’ve decided to do a series of posts that combine two of my favourite things. No, not cake, but beautiful illustration and music. First cab off the rank is James Hancock and his illustrations for Sydney singer-songwriter Darren Hanlon‘s third album. James Hancock is a Sydney-based artist who works across a variety of media. The [...]
