lykke li was rocking some biker shorts under a leotard at (le) poisson rouge.



that's one of two cover/mashups she performed, the other was pretty silly fun too. (the stage was in the round in case you're wondering why she's facing the other way a lot.) i'm going for a third dose at music hall next month if anyone wants to join.

aw. i can't believe we're swede-less right now. someone get back here.

typical week for a boy living in new york city. clouds and rain. seven year anniversary. lots of concerts. bad jokes that i just can't seem to stop. and gays can now get married in california.


feet at botanical gardens.


happy birthday, yiyi.


i've been missing me some swedes. so on tuesday, i got my swedish fix with lykke li at bowery.


cut copy at studio b. hope this doesn't get taken off this blog because of copyright infringement. hell, can hardly even tell who it is...


the cut copy fans.


the blacks at union pool.


karen had an opening at her store on friday, and ah, there it is: the ole' "cock in the pants" joke. never gets old.


speaking of jokes. hey, michael jackson, why don't you get the fuck out of my sun...soon. thanks.


this is rory. she's a black lab/rot mix, and she's my princess. she loves treats, and since she's so obedient, she gets a lot of them. i want a rory of my own. and she's our pet of the week.

cut copy was one of my favorite shows at sxsw this year. at their best, they channeled new order... at their worst, a dancier voxtrot. their live set even made me revisit their last album with a new perspective. so here are two of my favorite friday-friendly tracks, one old, one new.

cut copy :: autobahn music box :: from bright like neon love
cut copy :: far away :: from in ghost colours
(since i already put my favorite track from this album on my muxtape. i went for the most sunshiney, aka gina's jam.)

lykke li was one of my sxsw regrets. as in, i missed seeing her even though she played like 8 shows. at the time, i hadn't really heard much of her stuff. but lately, her album has become part of my regular rotation. it's fun, sweet, poppy, nothing life changing. but bonus points for being swedish. above is her new video for "i'm good, i'm gone." below is a link to that song, and another one i really lykke. (sorry had to)

lykke li :: i'm good. i'm gone. ::
lykke li :: let it fall ::

despite the daft involvement, i'm not that into sexuality, the newish album from sebastian tellier. but i am a pretty big fan of this song and this video. and it feels appropriately sunny for today. like a sunny day makeout in the park. or... something. fay leshner? enjoy.

(sorry these may not be that new really. i'm catching up!)
