I would never take a thing

Sonny and the Sunsets

I wish I could post a video, or at least a more accessible version of this song but for now it will have to do. Came across this band during my hypem.com daily troll. Exciting.
It's raining in LA; pouring, actually, but its quite relaxing to be around family and Roscoes chicken and waffles...



Bill Cunningham, the style photographer for the New York Times, recently had a documentary filmed about him and his line of work, dropping on March 24th. Should be interesting, considering his video snippets on the NYT website have consistently been witty, cutting, and characteristically European. Hope the documentary is as promising as, er, promised.

Fanfarlo vs. Beirut

Ellen has been making quite a big deal about Fanfarlo, a British band of whom she attended a concert last weekend. I decided to check them out, because she has dedicated space on her planner for their sticker and now totes a black and green Fanfarlo shoulder bag, presumably purchased at the show...



Which instantly reminded me of:



Fanfarlo seems like a poppier, more bubblegum and cotton candy sort of group, while still using brass wind instruments and maintaining the incorporation of heavy, wide Eastern European drums. I like it, but it makes me wonder....

Alyssa did little coaxing to convince me to post; I suppose I have been feeling compelled to for the past couple of...days....

Incredulous

I have been listening to El Perro Del Mar lately:



And I was remarking on how much she reminded me of Lykke Li, both in appearance and style of music. I wanted to see if they had ever collaborated and found this:



I had posted a "La Blogotheque" video of the Kooks 'preforming' (I guess you could call it that, in reality they were just strolling down the streets of Paris, guitar in tow, belting an acoustic version of their tune "Ooh La"), before but I wasn't aware that they had made many more videos...Anyways, this one is a gem; Lykke Li doing a street preformance in San Francisco (I miss you), amongst tambourines, kazoos, and eastern European drums almost as sweet as her dance moves. Almost. Enjoy
