Berlin 61/89 Wall Of Sound

Photobucket

I've been looking for a song off of this album for about an hour now... I'm usually pretty resourceful when it comes to finding an uncommon track but this album releases 11/23/09 so I guess it's not out-out yet. All of my MP3 links are suspended right now anyway... so here is a player to preview the album. The song I wanted was, Berlin 36 by MDK. I wanted to play it tonight... boo. I suppose I'll buy it.

Berlin 61/89 Wall Of Sound is a concept album featuring a compilation of various artists, "referring both to a chapter in History and a musical assemblage which resounds like a continental echo to Phil Spector’ s American pop Wall of Sound." I think my music pals, UNCLE ALEX and DANIEL would really enjoy this album too. (Go to their blogs... their mp3 links work) :)

Sunday Funday

My boyfriend and I went to the Long Beach Flea Market this weekend. It's in the Rose Bowl circuit and is on the 3rd Sunday of every month. I was like a little kid, all I wanted was toys. Here's what I got.

PhotobucketSleeping porcelain bunny, hanging glass egg, glass fish vase, glass bear vase and a giant 1970's giant barbie.

PhotobucketFish, Bear, Barbie. Stripe cashmere Pringle cardi and vintage baseball game.

Then we had lunch in Torrance at Sanuki No Sato and had yummy soba.

Photobucket mmmmmmmmm....


Mitsuwa, the Japanese supermarket is right across the street so we went and got some treats. We got Chocolate Pocky Sticks, Ichiban raman, green tea, milk tea, barley water, Yamamotoyama tea... and then we found the best vending machine. FUNKY FACE DISGUISES, with a facial hair surprise for just 2 quarters. I got dark mutton chops and a light brown mustache. It's the best $1.00 you can spend!

"Look Cool!", "Fool Your Friends!"

I love Lady Tigra and I'm loving this song and video. I dig this other track too. It sounds old and dreamy and I kind of want to slow dance to it...

Fever Ray!


Photobucket

MP3 - Seven (The Twelves Remix) - Fever Ray

MP3 - When I Grow Up (Version by Lissvik) - Fever Ray

- "When I Grow Up (Version by Lissvik) removed upon request. :(


The first song is a new remix from The Twelves . I don't mind the remix and I like that you can dance to it but it gets a little off-key near the end. The second song is my other favorite off their album ENHANCED .


Day In Day Out (Cut Chemist Mix) Nat King Cole

This one is fun. Makes me want to cut a rug .

You know, I wasn't really into this holiday a couple of days ago. I didn't plan a good costume in advance and still don't have official plans for tonight but... I'm getting really pumped up now. After debating between Keyboard Cat or Kendo Kitten, I decided to be both and will be Kendo Keyboard Kitten! I made a mix for everyone to start their night with!

Roses For Your Ta-Tas

And for your bum! I want it I want it I want it I want it!

Sonia Rykiel Lingerie for H&M!

Models from left: Lara Stone, Caroline Trentini, and Anne Vyalitsyna.

Not the most functional lingerie but from what I've seen the line looks beautiful and definitely has the designer's touch. This collaboration marks the first time that H&M has extended its designer collaboration to the world of lingerie and accessories for women. The line will launch December 5, 2009 in 1,500 H&M stores worldwide and the collection will be available in Sonia Rykiel’s major boutiques around the world – another first for H&M.

I'm predicting that we will soon see these pieces styled in fashion editorials what with lingerie-as-outerwear being the hottest spring trend. If you live near one the 1,500 stores and have time to wait in line all day, the eBay pay off could be worth it.
