Hooray for Earth - True Loves

Posted by papermichelle on June 5, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Really loving Hooray for Earth the past few days. The NYC foursome sounds like a cross between Yeasayer and MGMT to me. Their album, True Loves, is out on June 7th - but streaming right now over at Spin. Give it a listen.

Love. The more I listen to Twin Shadow’s music, the more I am in lust. The whole album, Forget, is fantastic.

Harlem - “Someday Soon”

Posted by papermichelle on June 27, 2010 · Leave a Comment

The feel-good chaos of Harlem’s Someday Soon was exactly what I was looking for this morning. This video is amazing in a way - it lets you vicariously live out all the things you’d do if you and your friends collectively lost your minds for a while. Fireworks, cemetery pinatas and spray paint…say no more, as I am sold.

Breakbot featuring Irfane - “Baby I’m Yours”

Posted by papermichelle on June 13, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Breakbot’s “Baby I’m Yours” is an immediate feel-good jam - but I put it up because of the insane video! The director, Irina Dakeva, did 2000 watercolors to achieve this look. What a crazy undertaking! So worth it.

Darling, It’s Alright

Francis & the Lights is blowing my mind with this little ditty. Don’t be deceived by the simplicity and hang on for the end - you’re in for a moment of dance insanity that makes the world ok for a while. Love, love, love.

Gig Poster Love

Posted by papermichelle on May 2, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Some of my favorite modern design comes from gig posters. They’re fascinating. They represent a fleeting, epic experience but the art endures on its own. Here are few that I heart…
