little dragon

Celebrated one year in New York by seeing Little Dragon perform at the Bowery.
I'm girl crushing on Yukimi Nagano hard.

P.S. She even has her own blog and sometimes she posts about her favorite jewelry designers. Swoooon.

i had it all along

My excuse was that I didn't have any leather or waxed cotton cord. In actuality, I had it bagged up in my box of supplies the whole time I've been in New York!

Generally, I don't take inspiration from anything in particular, but tonight this image from a play directed by Robert Wilson has been lingering in my mind.


And, oddly enough, Fleetwood Mac (Rumours era) and Fever Ray on shuffle have been really doing it for me lately.





So after I sifted through some supplies given to me when I still lived in Hawai'i, I busted out two necklaces. One for me and one for the roomie. I was planning my outfit for tomorrow night around a pair of crazy pants, but I might have to plan it around this new necklace of mine. Or do crazy pants and new necklace. I think I'm FINALLY getting my groove back.

farewell part one

Lipstick traces on a cigarette.
Every memory lingers with me yet.
I got it bad like I told you before,
I'm so in love with you,
Don't leave me no more.
Won't you come on home?
Won't you come on home?

it's not august 31

But I just bought Little Dragon's new album, Machine Dreams on iTunes. On their Myspace it says it comes out August 31 and on Amazon you can pre-order the CD and receive it in September. I feel like this is some secret slip or major fuck up. Nonetheless, I'm happy to finally have some new Little Dragon in my ears! I'm usually not into the whole electronic thing, but Yukimi Nagano's voice is so hauntingly beautiful I have no choice but to close my eyes and get lost in it. "Feather" might just replace "Recommendation" as my #1 Little Dragon song.



Oh, and Yukimi's boyfriend is Jose Gonzalez. Can there ever be a more perfect marriage of honeyed voices? They need to do some official duets!

I did a HUGE favor for my friend, so she has become my semi-slave on Sundays. Today she is driving me from Waikiki to the South Shore to get a bunch of stuff done for a cool little project launching in January. These are the musical selections for today's adventures.
