don't hug me i'm scared

here's another good tip. yeah? of how to be a creative whiz kid.
go and collect some leaves and sticks, and arrange them into your favourite colour.
blue, red, green! green is not a creative colour.

sit | noir 2011

"With ‘Noir’ Sit returns to his bold black & whites, examining the troubled relation between the animal kingdom and mankind even closer. This time around his work is focused on the magnificent beauty of the beast and the way it is used to serve the vanity that is intricate to humanity.

The result is a haunting series that is simultaneously sexy and morbid. The sensual textures of fur and feathers are juxtaposed with pale animal skulls and soft female curves to illustrate the malicious blackness gnawing away at the edges of our sense of beauty." - sit.bigcartel.com

the kills | prince bandroom 2011

and so we meet again, alison. this would be the third time i've seen alison perform live - twice for the kills, and once for the dead weather. she is amazing. what i love most about her shows, is the vibe. the audience is very chilled - not bored, just chilled. no pushing or shoving, just a gathering of people with a genuine appreciation for her music.

a friend and i queried why the kills opt for a drum machine - we came to the conclusion that 'it just wouldn't work'. they don't need an extra member to have that band-like image - 'the kills' are alison and jamie. just like 'the white stripes' are jack and meg. alison mosshart and jamie hince have a unique and beautiful on stage presence; the chemistry is actually kind of heartwarming. they're not just a band, they're friends, and they're not afraid to express it on stage. i know, it seems like a simple concept, but i've been to enough shows to confidently say - some bands are quite ... how do i put this nicely? pompous. you don't get that with the kills. they love what they do, they love the music, and they appreciate their fans.

although they didn't perform black balloon and alphabet pony, which was a little disappointing, the things that made the show for me were - 1) alison's rickenbacker - this increased my 'i would turn for you' factor for alison, tenfold; 2) extended eye to eye contact with jamie - i mean, come on, who wouldn't want eye to eye contact with kate moss' husband. some would argue that perhaps he wasn't looking directly at me, but for the purpose of this blog, let's just say he did.

the lanterns on degraves st

i walk past these every morning on my way to work. yes, that street - every hipster's location of choice for a bite to eat, some shutterbug action, and a little mingling. perhaps it is an over-hyped street, but i still like it. back to the lanterns - they're an installation of some sort, so i'm not sure how much longer they'll be around. a while, i hope. i think they're sweet. a touch of innocence in an alley overwhelmed by graffiti. it's a visual contradiction. not that i dislike graffiti, but the transition is a pleasant change of scenery. bringing some much needed positivity to the lives of those heading back to the grind. i'm sure we've all felt that way at some point in our lives, so i hope everyone can appreciate this artwork as a sign that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, or in this case, the street.

ETA: i know the photos aren't top notch. so please excuse the slight blur ... i was in a rush.
