Partly Cloudy, a touchy short movie from Pixar


This is my favorite Pixar short movie! It's funny when knowing how those clouds above make babies. The point actually about the friendship, among Gus, a lonely and insecure grey cloud and Peck, his loyal delivery stork partner. Gus is a master for creating dangerous babies, such as crocodile. Gus thought that Peck has betrayed him, but he's all wrong, because Peck is a most loyal stork ever. Very touchy at the ending. Love it, love it! And as always, i want to share my happiness, you can either watch it or download it. Enjoy! ☺

Music Review: Marie Digby - Unfold




And here it is, i've posted the album of my back sound song on this web. Also because a request from a a friend, papirazzi. Marie Digby is a 26 years old American singer, songwriter, guitarist and pianist. Half Japanese and half Irish American singer, has three studio albums, and this album is her first one. Digby's music typically easy listening pop music with songs about love. My favorites are Miss Invisible, Say It Again and Better Off Alone. Different tone, though. Anyway, is it just me or it is true, when i listened to one track, Fool, it reminds me of Michelle Branch's music. Is it?

Let's painting with sand.

I found this video about a a year ago. I almost forgot i have this amazing video, until i found it again in my laptop today (yea, i downloaded it!). It's Ksenia Simonova, a sand painting artist from Ukraine. I'm kinda like her name, i love eastern europe name actually. That's why i put the name Svetlana means a light in one of my novel. Well, let's back to Simonova. I've seen other sand painting artists, from different countries, and i think Simonova the best one: her creativity, her speed, and the way she moves her hand very gently but in a sharp move. This is just one of her video. If you like her, you can search in youtube of course. Enjoy!

Music Review: The Go Find - Everybody Knows It's Gonna Happen Only Not Tonight



The Belgian musician, Dieter Sermeus, as a frontman made an electronic indie project called The Go Find. With Tim Coenen (drums/guitar), Nico Jacobs (guitar/synthesizer), Peter Pask (bas), Bob Hermans (sound) and Joris Calluwaerts (piano/synthesizer/organ), this one is their third album produced by an independent label, Morr Music. Basically, they have a very easy listening music with a lil touch of electronic. It's automatic, as the new single from this album, isn't good enough to sell the album, at least from my opinion. However, Everybody Knows It's Gonna Happen Only Not Tonight track is perfect when they put it on their first single, as good as they put it on their album title. You could hear other catchy tracks on Cherry Pie or Lottery Man. And for the rest track? Just Go hear it, and Find the answer.

Music Review: Heyhihello! - Keep You on Your Toes




Actually this album not "a-new-release-album". It was released in August 2009, and this is the first EP album from Heyhihello!. The first thing that came on mind when i heard of those songs is "Wow, it's very Owl City!", even the frontman itself, Jakub Andrew, is typically American boy like Adam Young. Listen to In Colour, you can taste the same atmosphere when you hear Owl City's songs, a pop-electronic music that has been so famous in music industry lately. Not a good enough album i think, but if you're a big fan of pop-electronic music, it's a must to have one, just for completing your library.

Music Review: Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix Remixes



Still on my euphoria for the winning of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix in last Grammy Award as Best Alternative Music Album. Yesss, i am so happy because this is one of my favorite album in 2009. I do love Phoenix, and their last album is totally awesome! I am sure you guys already heard this album before, but i'm pretty sure also that most of you haven't heard the remixes album yet. I think not all of the songs being remixed properly. Armistice is one of my fave, but the remix sounds so weird. But, when you hear Lisztomania remix by Alex Metric, i think it's a well done. Lasso remix by 2 door cinema club isn't bad also. Not a bad choice to listen, but i prefer the original one. At least, this album is very available to pump up your mood.

Music Review: Shades of Summer - EP album


  
Shades of Summer is a band from York, PA, with its member Andrew (piano, guitar, vocal), Justin (guitar, vocal), Steve (drum), and Nate (Bass). Basically, their music sounds like pop-rock, electronic, and acoustic sometimes. Somehow, they're remind me with Dashboard Confessional or Simple Plan. I think the best song in this album either Say You Feel It or Sing the Last Note. Pretty good songs that could make me repeat these songs over and over again.

It's a new-old!




I was so exited when i found my mom's old bag. Yes, i think it's a 17 years old bag, since my mom bought it when i'm in elementary school. So all i have to do is make a "lil' new" on it. I love vintage, but i prefer a not one hundred percent vintage. Put a bit of trend today on an old one would be great! Then i put one giant stud and two small studs, gold studs. And.. Voila! It's a new-old bag! 


And just a teaser for my next post (what? teaser on a blog? haha..), i found my old camera. Woohooo! A manual camera. A toy manual camera. I think this week is about found a treasure box! Hahaha.. But seriously, it's kinda treasure for me. It's like i found some old stuffs that becoming a trend again nowadays. Okay, gimme me a week to do some photo hunts, and i'll share you the photos! See ya!
