Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
I like music too. I’ve just been tipped off to this great site, Apophenia, that provides links to zip files of entire albums. Good ones, too. See ya later, Limewire!
Speaking of music, you might also want to consider following Culturite’s blip.fm stream – he’s introduced me to many a great new band. I’m all over Neutral Milk Hotel and Son House right now, thanks to him.
Even more music news: if you’re into film/photography/good bands, you’ve got a chance to contribute content for a Choir of Young Believers‘ music video through BOOOOOOM! My buddy Jeff Hamada is always coming up with fantastic projects through his site, and this 8th endeavour is a really unique opportunity be a part of something spectacular. Check out the deets for the music video project here – deadline has been extended to July 1st.

Last night Bombay Sapphire hosted an event on the Shangri-La Hotel’s 58th floor private residence and introduced a select crowd of Vancouver bloggers and journalists to the season’s newest drinks, concocted by master mixologist Merlin Griffiths. Merlin demonstrated cocktail recipes and bartending tips while the crowd gleefully sipped on delicious beverages and embraced the stunning views of Vancouver, the ocean and our surrounding mountains.

There were many familiar faces in attendance – Shallom Johnson of Stylefinds, Rebecca Tay and Craig Long from FASHION Magazine, May and Ishra from Sweetspot, The Straight’s David Pearlman, photographer Darryl Humphrey, and Vanessa from Modern Mix Vancouver (who happens to be hosting an event at Suki’s tonight), and a few of the Style Spy gals – to name but a few.
Cheers!
Urbanity is a familiar shop in Gastown that I pass often, though rarely venture into. But after seeing some of the great pieces in store right now, I plan to go take a comprehensive sweep through the Danish, Norwegian and Swedish designs housed within the shop.
I love these NYGÃ…RDSANNA summer dresses, and the designRborg ring (below) could easily be a daily staple on one of my lucky digits.
I’m currently in the throes of designing and knitting for the Fall/Winter larry. collection, so learning about small-scale knits from faraway countries is terrific inspiration. These types of pieces are firmly in line with my current penchant for simple style, and garments that quite literally are woven with a story and history.
