I hardly ever post twice in one day, but this needs to get out of my brain, through my fingers and onto my blog so I can stop saying Holy Guacamole!!!
Neil Finn announces “Seven Worlds Collide, pt. 2″.
In 2001 Finn had members of Radiohead, the Smiths and Pearl Jam playing with him for a [...]
I like that Rufus Wainwright attempts to get on the radio. I am not sure it is the best format for him, but bless him. His latest studio album, Release the Stars, was said to be his most accessible and mainstream album to date. I adore that in Rufus’ head that translated into “a huge [...]
How did I miss this? New Tim Finn album, woah. And, potentially even more intriguingly, an album filled with rarities available to buy online via the link above.
The weather is lovely: all sunny with crisp air. I went shopping for Christmas presents today and am almost finished buying for the Danish side of the family. Almost. On my way home from town, I met up with Other Half and we went for a walk through autumnal woodlands.
And we saw this little [...]
Some nights it just happens. I fall into the depths of YouTube and I flutter between this and that .. and end up with a bonafide Finn-vaganza.
I started off with Wherever You Are, a solo offering from a 2000-2001 webcast series. Things went a bit hardcore with my favourite Finn song: Suffer Never with Johnny [...]

Glasgow Botanic Gardens (a ten minute walk away from Casa Bookish).
And you get squirrels in the Botanics! They’ll throw stuff after you if they feel you’re trespassing into their territory. Violent little beasties.
You also get a host of birds. This little guy sat on top of one of the greenhouses [...]
Honestly? I have never been interested in cross-stitching and my very few attempts at stitching ended badly. These cross-stitch versions of Banksy’s street art might just tempt me into picking up a needle and the thread, though.
The site is in Swedish, but all you need to know is that “ladda hem” means download and [...]
This t-shirt WILL be mine.
In August 2000 I spent an entire day in Te Awamutu - I even have a picture of myself posing with a sign saying Te Awamutu - and it’s a small, small North island town in New Zealand. It only has two things going for it: its rose gardens and some [...]
And two hours after having written about wanting one, my partner brings home a 1950s sewing machine. We need to buy needles and some spools, but otherwise it appears to be in top condition.
Ace.
How badly do I want this uppercase scarf? Pretty badly, I tell you. The scarf led me on a typographic journey of the net which yielded new interesting sites: the & Blog, Bembo’s Zoo which is seriously cool, FontStruct which lets you design your own (very basic) typefaces, and, er, The Swedish Furniture Name Generator.
Hey, [...]
