Stereogum Presents… STROKED: A Tribute To Is This It
If you can believe it, Is This It is now 10 years old. Stereogum have assembled some of the finest indie artists out there to record tribute covers of Is This It. Aptly named "Stroked" - the album features Peter, Bjorn & John on the title track (verdict: jangly), Heems spitting bars on 'New York... Continue Reading
I’d really like Fred Butler to read me bedtime stories but instead she’s talking on music #MTVPlayground
Like Fred, being a creative and wanting to do many many things is difficult. I'd rather be able to do one or two things really well, then dabble in a lot and be rubbish. However I strongly belong to the camp of thought that to do something well, you should do it wholeheartedly, which I... Continue Reading
The Weekend
Weekends are usually time for relaxing, doing laundry, and sleeping late. I get asked what I do with my "spare" time when I'm not working. Well I'm still working as such, but one also has to drag oneself away from one's computer... I thought I should write a blog about it (as you do). Continue Reading
Tall Tales on a Tuesday: Press Releases do the work for you
I really don’t understand when bloggers copy and paste press releases as posts. The term “You’re a fucking moron comes to mind.” Not only is it lazy – if I wanted to read a press release I’d just check my email. The icing on the cake has to be when they leave the signature in,... Continue Reading
I Can See Clearly Now
Terrible pun. But it is true. After a week of waiting (which isn't very long) and some phone calls with some nice Northern opticians to discuss my severe astigmatism, I got an email on Friday saying they were shipped. I felt like Joey when Alicia May Emory came back in stock. Continue Reading
SWATCH x KidRobot – A Mustachioed Metronome I Must Own!
When this dropped in my email yesterday, I did a mental fist pump. LABBIT WATCH! I love Kid Robot and own a few Dunny’s meself… as well as my Labbit. This is my Labbit. I bought it in New York a few years ago from Kid Robot. Here Labbit is posing on my rather creased... Continue Reading
Behind the Screen with BAFTA as part of Film4 Summer Screen at Somerset House with American Express®
Even though the sun may not always shine, London is always full of wonderful summer specific events. The Film4 Summer Screen is one of those well known, and much loved events. I've never managed to get tickets because they always sell out/broke and/or everyone I know is rubbish and can't do anything without at least... Continue Reading
IS THAT NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM???
He was always my favourite in my films. The only one who COULD act. And also, phwoar. He growed up good. via: GQ Continue Reading
Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows Official Trailer – Nice try, Stephen Fry.
Pierce: “Nice try Stephen Fry” Britta: “Stephen Fry!!!” That’s a Community ref, FYI via: GQ Continue Reading
The Friday/Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Parody Mashup
I lol’ed, super hard. I can’t decide if my favourite part is when Harry dances or when Voldy does the Parseltongue rap… via:Buzzfeed Continue Reading
Tesla, you one sexy underrated motherlover
I’m always asked where the name of my blog and subsequent site came from; which is simple, my love of science and fashion. However I rarely seem to write about it (or ever) which is a bit foolish. How can I claim to be a science lover? The mind boggles, and also it makes me... Continue Reading
