Minkpink to make the boys wink

Have a nosey at the Minkpink blog...

It's true I was very excited about my new ebay boots bargain- so much so that I changed out of my clothes into this new Minkpink dress that just happened to be lying around the office...

Keep on Rolling... and maybe start actually blogging

Grizzly Bear Hug....

Going to see American bnd Grizzly Bear tonight, first gig of the year, it's a sell out and we were lucky to get tickets...will let you know how it is... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjecYugTbIQ

It's a combination of things...

Somethings just work...they just go well together, you know- like smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, socks 'n' sandals, Karl and Chanel....





...and some things...well somethings just don't work when combined. Take yesterday for example, to set the scene, it was a gloriously sunny lunchtime, and I'd decided to hop on my beautiful bicycle and pick up a refreshing iced coffee...easier said than done. The unfortunate combination in question was my favourite red hat, beloved afore mentioned vintage bike and said iced beverage. The resulting disaster saw the hat in the middle of the road- before being runover by an unobservant motorist, coffee down my chin and bicycle dropped on the pavement as I attempted to recompose myself and recover my shit.



Lesson learned... fashion, man powered vehicles AND takeaway cups DO NOT complement each other one bit... oh and the bloke that laughed and offered little or no assistance from the pavement- you are probably going to hell, thanks SO much!!

Went to the sea but the tide was out...

Funny story... there was a reason I could not bloody find Fleet Foxes tickets for last weeks show... probably something to do with the fact that they weren't actually playing. Well not this year anyway! Apparently the venue website was doing something crazy and re-listed last years gig...yeah I feel stupid.

Anyway onwards and upwards, the incredible Cat Power is in town for 'Days Like These' and London band Scanners have me captivated from afar...

Where do they go...graceful in the morning light

I am pretty devastated that tonight Fleet Foxes played the Sydney Metro and I sadly, once again missed out on seeing them. I say once again, as I missed out first in June when I failed to secure Glastonbury (click here for their Glasto performance) tickets, second in September when I failed to make it to Bestival and thirdly now, on the other side of the world I screwed up once more! Unfortunately I realised far too late in the game that the band had followed me to Sydney... (ahem) and obviously (and understandably) tickets had sold out fast...what a way that would have been to start 2010. Ahh well I will simply have to console myself in the knowledge that the next few months already look jam packed with great gigs and festivals that I, for once had the foresight to actually purchase tickets for! In the mean time I'll leave you with this... I'm not quite at the gig but this is so damn good...check out http://www.blogotheque.net  for more off the cuff, out of the ordinary performances from your favourite bands.
