all i need

this is definitely my favorite song off the new radiohead album, in rainbows. j. tyler helms created this beautiful video for it using footage from the 1996 film microcosmos:

all i need

a new favorite

while perusing one of my faves, d*s, this entry from the guest blog section really caught my eye. i love their cute place and saw that the writer, jeana sohn, has her own blog. i love it. it’s so sweet, simple and pretty. i aspire to have my blog be something so intriguing that others are drawn to it as well. wish me luck with that.

what a gem!

all i can say is wow…these images are from the “gallery of glamore” and are part of the “mobile museum of gem sweaters.”

clockwise from top left are “flight of rejoice,” “genie of the lamp,” “lotion of ocean,” and “neon flash cash.”

i, for one, am so pleased and relieved that they are documenting these great art forms and fashion statements that we once thought were obsolete. to see more of these beauties, please go here.  enjoy.

radiohead on conan

i had no idea that radiohead was conan’s first ever musical guest! yeah, way back in 1993 … that is so awesome. here they are on conan 4/23/08 for the greener than live performance of “house of cards.”

and just for a little nostalgia, and because i love radiohead and conan…here’s that original performance in 1993, with classic “creep.”

perfect little desk
