new belle and sebastian album in 2010!?
November 18, 2009 — alexamany people (including myself) have been wondering if stuart murdoch’s god help the girl project signaled the beginning of the end of belle and sebastian. they have not been on tour or released a studio album since 2006, and it seemed as if there were no plans of either happening again. until now.
i was reading the god help the girl newsletter when this caught my attention:
THE FILM
The script for the film is now also in a state of (near) completion (film scripts are never really ever finished) and things are moving slowly towards going into production. Most likely there will be a Belle and Sebastian record first during 2010, so filming should get properly underway in 2011.
most likely there will be a belle and sebastian record first during 2010. i then checked the website for news, and was greeted with this picture:
this led me to the q&a section, where the following was posted as a response to a “will you ever tour again” type question:
A. You’ll see us next year I should imagine.
Stevie – 17/11/09
i really really hope this happens.

September 3, 2009 — alexaoh how i wish i could get my hands on one of these super cool, “super limited edition” garace doré t-shirts…
holi – the festival of colors
August 16, 2009 — alexacame across these awesome photos on the big picture, a feature of the boston globe. the hindu holiday holi is “celebrated as a welcoming of spring, and a celebration of the triumph of good over evil. what that translates to in action is an enthusiastic dropping of inhibitions, as people chase each other and playfully splash colorful paint, powder and water on each other.”
i wish i could celebrate holi…

train de nuit for chanel n°5
June 3, 2009 — alexaplease watch train du nuit, an amazing short film advertising chanel n°5, featuring audrey tautou and directed by jean-pierre jeunet.
if you’re watching via youtube, definitely opt for the hd version…it’s worth the wait.
jean-phillipe delhomme
May 21, 2009 — alexagarance doré is a fashion illustrator with a great street style blog. a few days ago, she wrote about her excitement over being drawn (with scott schuman of the sartorialist) by fashion illustrator jean-phillipe delhomme.
delhomme’s work is a combination of fashion, illustration, and animation. and it’s really good. the illustration of garance doré is featured on his cool new blog, the unknown hipster, which is part street style, part illustration.
and here’s an ad he did for barney’s new york. the quality is pretty awful, so you should really watch it at his site (click “movement” and then hit the next arrow).
two weeks and the red ballon
May 20, 2009 — alexafootage from la ballon rouge (the red balloon) set to grizzly bear‘s two weeks, edited by jt helms.
i really like grizzly bear. i really like balloons (see my first film for intro production…).
i really like this.

tom hines
May 8, 2009 — alexatom hines is awesome.
even more so because when you click the “music” tab on his site, you get an entirely cheesy photoshoot of grizzly bear. and they’re pretty cool too. (and one of my favorite bands at the moment.)
procrastination
May 8, 2009 — alexait’s 7 am and right now i’m supposed to be finishing a 10 page paper. i thought this video was very appropriate.

April 17, 2009 — alexaaccording to stuart murdoch, it’s not belle and sebastian. however, it is stuart murdoch singing with three random girls. backed by the other members of belle and sebastian. and that’s good enough for me.
sososo excited.

March 26, 2009 — alexai am really excited to see this.

the black cab sessions
March 14, 2009 — alexahow have i never heard of these before??
typing “jens lekman” in the the vimeo search box at 2:45 am was a definite mistake. i was planning on going to sleep. instead i clicked on the search result labeled “the black cab sessions.”
i’ve been watching black cab sessions ever since. oops.
i’m not going to explain the concept. it’s really not necessary. here are a few that i like…

dark was the night
February 26, 2009 — alexa
this is kinda old news but i just figured out how to upload mp3’s to wordpress for free, so….
if you haven’t already, you should check out dark was the night, a compilation of 31 exclusive tracks that came out last week. i could say it’s cool because all the proceeds go to the red hot organization, “an international charity dedicated to raising money and awareness for HIV and AIDS through popular culture.” but really, i just like the music.
anyway, here are three of my favorite tracks:
dree hemingway for halston
February 22, 2009 — alexainstead of a runway show for their fall 2009 line, halston shot this video….the girl is ernest hemingway’s great grand-daughter, dree hemingway.

February 19, 2009 — alexahi. it’s been a while. yay for schoolwork i actually like (and slightly less procrastination).
pretty pictures from evan lane.
gnod
January 16, 2009 — alexagnod is an “experiment in the field of artificial intelligence. Its a self-adapting system, living on this server and ‘talking’ to everyone who comes along. Gnods intention is to learn about the outer world and to learn ‘understanding’ its visitors. This enables gnod to share all its wisdom with you in an intuitive and efficient way. You might call it a search-engine to find things you don’t know about.”
basically just another fun way to kill time haha

January 4, 2009 — alexa
viscosity is a great site if you need to kill time. you get a rectangle divided into 9 lines. you then choose the colors of the lines and drag them around. it’s fun.
