Air France - Windmill wedding
I really do like Airfrance, and I like the dresses in this video, the hair cuts, the scenary,but it stops there. I don't know if it was done intently but it really does look like a lesbian picnic orgy from the 70's. I kind of half expect a fat latino on a horse to turn up and whip out his jewels for his harem of "angels" of the woodlands to give him the polishing of lifetime. You almost half hope it will happen, which unfortunatly for you it doesn't, which leads me to believe that AirFrance really were taking themselves seriously when they did this.
The shoulds and shouldnt's
I should really be going out to get the shopping done ,seeing as I have only an avocado left moulding quietly in my fridge. I should also be contemplating my future career, and revising for exams in which I have no convictions. I should be sorting out my nails that have this gunky chipped nail varnish on them, I should be thinking about making plans for the summer, so as not to cry everyday in an empty city during August. I should be thinking about that essay on TV politics that I should be writing, instead of which I have just spent three hours looking at Pearl Jam live sessions. I should really be saving money, but I know that I'll be at 9 AM bang on time to buy those ridiculously expensive shoes in the Sales tomorrow morning. I know that I shouldn't swear and say things like "Putain" ( fuck in French), batard ( bastard), or sale conne ( stupid bitch), and focus on reading the five novels that are gathering dust by my bed. In fact there are a fucking hell of a lot of things I should and shouldn't be doing ( like writing on my blog), but I really felt it necessary to post a bit of music, just so I actually feel like I am not entering a long term coma on my bed.
So here is my Tuesday afternoon special:

Pogolicious
Pogo strikes back. i like this one a little less, the remix is less obvious and a bit simplisitic, but it is from the movie "The Secret Garden", which is the coolest kids book on earth( except Where the wild Things are and a little princess). I can even see an old copy collecting dust on my shelf.
I suspect Pogo of manipulating girls with nostalgia.

Fanfarlo- Year of the woman slug
I have one of these midweek headaches, where all I can hope for is a bit of piece and quiet.
It might have been last nights drinks, or accumulated stressed from having lately been over exposed to certain persons idiotic theories and concepts of life, that just make you want to flush your head down a toilet and only emerge from your bed in 2020.
It's one of those days where the only thing you can do apart from grow roots in your feet, is call a friend ( on speaker phone, holding the phone is to exhausting innit?) who has the magic power to half listen to your problems whilst filling out her tax papers.
Oh yeah I forgot posting music, that I can also do.
Fanfarlo- 5 brits, funfair music for virgins, a good dress sense,multiple instruments, and catchy melodies, what more could you ask for?

Pogo's remixes
Yeah I am just a little obsessed now, Stop working right now, just listen, it's dopamine on you tube
Pogo-Expialidocious
I don't know what else to Say, other that the guy Pogo is a complete legend. I think that most kids in their youth owned a disney tape or a sing a long songs video, and as we have grown up, we have stashed them under the bed, mainly because we feel a little gimpish for not wanting to throw them out and because secretly, it's the last thing you want to part with.
I think that this is one of the best remixes I have heard all year, and Pogo just happens to choose one of the best loved Disney films of all time.
It's a real spoonful of sugar to help the medecine go down.

Grizzly Bear and its Two weeks pretty boys
Yeah, when I dished out the mash up of Hood Internet on one of my previous posts, I had this image of grizzly bear being your typical beard faced indie group, the song Alligator found on their amazing album Horn of Plenty, is a testimony to the cute names that you give to the one you love.
And then there is this, a video of 4 rather fucked up young men with severe skin problems, saucer cup eyes, and well... they just look fucked don't they?
In fact they are almost like Ventriloquist dolls which actually sounds like veckatimest ,name of their album ( sorry just thought i would try and look smart)
In anycase upon meeting Vampire Weekend last year at a festival, I had taken quite a shine to the catholic upper class yuppie who liked to keep his Ralph Lauren socks on whilst fucking. Ezra Koenig had me converted to his ideals in under 20 seconds, and i would have gone straight out to buy Lacoste knickers.
Unfortunatly this year the young pedophile bow tie look, really isn't doing it for me Even if their video is to be taken far from seriously, they play the sleezebag mummy's boys of the Hamptons so well, it's just disturbing.. or depressing
sighhhhh

A call to the girls who are happy in their own back yard
I have been warned never to let my private life appear on this blog, never to let an emotion slip, to behave like a complete ice maiden who outside of the blogosphere doesn't actually have a real existence, where nothing ever comes to disrupt the rythm, where nothing can strive to make me unhappy or make me simply want to celebrate life.
When I hit 24 I thought , "I am getting a bit old for the innocent look, too wise for naïve happiness, too cynical for pretty pictures, too burnt by emotions of jealousy, possession and betrayal to even go back to something softer". But as time goes on, I realise that it is a gift, given to few, to be able to appreciate the pretty and simple things in life.
No matter how hard people try to batter your moral it is essentiel to keep a certain childhood innocence whilst learning to grow up at the same time.
It's nothing to be able to call your self a wise man, an intellectual, a man of words, a wealthy business man, if you can't feel the most primordial and primitive feelings of happiness. The people who die fulfilled are those who never try to chase happiness and perfection beyond the hills but who find it in the people who are close to them when they wake up and who lift you up no matter how weak they may be themselves, or how empty their pockets are.
I just wanted to celebrate the fact that I am a girl, that I enjoy behaving like one, that I can still find reasons to smile at the most mushiest of things, that I can be smart and lucid yet sensitive, that I will always take great pleasure in sharing the little things in life that make it a smoother wave to ride on.

Music for the Hammock
It's a bank holiday, most of you are either recovering from the Primavera festival, or like me from the We love Sonique 2009. Either way this eventful weekend calls for a bit of calm, a bit of sand between the toes, a calm drive home on a sunny empty motorway, cherries, rolled up jeans, a hand stroking your neck, your hand out of the window and that last cigarette in your malboro packet.
Here are my top Five music videos to say goodbye to May and hello to June.
A little thanks to D and H for the inspiration.
1. The Golden Filter- Solid Gold
2. Yo La Tengo- Today is the Day
3. Apaloosa- The Day we fell in Love
4. Air France- Collapsing at your doorstep
5.The Album Leaf- On your Way
