colour vs black & white /

L// COLOUR - Inspired by your colour pics from a few weeks ago Maz, my shelves had a little shuffle. BLACK & WHITE - Sasha's first concert = Arcade fire. They had a free photo booth up the back which was set up with a green screen so they could transfer images taken of you onto their album cover for 'the suburbs'. Swell idea! SO glad to be born in an era with such great bands. NB - wearing a green jacket in front of a green screen is not such a bright idea, I'm all head and jeans!! Great night, kids at concerts, well worth it! Currently listening to, 'Bat for lashes - Fur And Gold'.... perfect.

l// Hello all, just thought I'd share what I've been listening to lately. These two ladies are pretty special and the song by fleet fox is a must! Oh happy ears! Also please make welcome our friend Tess to the blog, she is now our eyes and ears in MELBOURNE. Marianne is now our nose and mouth in OSLO and I remain a pigmentation in LONDON...

l// I was lucky enough to catch Grizzly Bear on the first night of three 'Serpenine Sessions' nights in Hyde Park London. It is a relatively new festival that has had the likes of Bon Iver and Regina Spektor last year. This year the main features are, Grizzly Bear (monday night), Patti Smith (last night) and on thursday you can catch Laura Marling. The setting is beautiful and somewhat intimate, I was a little surprised that we were in a tent in the park... seemed like a shame to not be able to watch the fading light and enjoy the music. Grizzly bear did not disappoint, spectacular music filled the gardens... wonder whether the gardeners notice more growth in the gardens when the festival is on? Good good night. Don't you love the album artwork? Art by William O'Brien.
