‘This Head I Hold’, from Electric Guest’s upcoming debut album, ‘Mondo’. Its upbeat but laid-back soul-lite. The song’s sweet vocals, plinky pianos, and muted handclaps are all lovely, and would be a welcome addition to your indie collection!

Apart from being a joy to look at, this romantic bedroom is whispering to us about a little DIY photo idea. A collage is not a new idea, clearly. But it’s the mood of this room and this little project that fit very well together. The walls look raw and injured and this disorderly grouping of unsaturated images seems to suit the mood. The bed, its dressings and other furniture do a great job of splashing some luxury and shine into this room balancing out the grit and glamour for a perfectly romantic and nostalgic bedroom feel.

Wanna learn about tectonics? Check out Japanese architect Shin Takamatsu. Image of Syntax (1990). Although Takamatsu refuses to confine the crucial issue of ‘scale’ in his works to a simple question of size the way they interact with the surrounding geometric space and the concept of visual perception this involves inevitably related to dimensions. This underlines one of the peculiarities of the “architectural objects”. They are often required to perform rather limited functions, which necessarily restricts their surface area and height. Nevertheless, these tectonic forms are usually quite striking to look at which multiplies their proportions and enables them to break free from the surrounding network of buildings.

While we don’t advocate a Mike Tyson sort of face tattoo on anyone, the following is my favorite photo of a man with hand-tapped tattoos in a longhouse within the Borneo jungles. These works of art command a strong sense of respect reserved only for the fearless and grounded.

For the Dayak tribe in Borneo, it’s believed that spirits are in everything. From animals to plants to humans. As such, most groups use imagery from nature in their tattoos. The most symbolic being a floral motif.

And here comes more Blessings.

Oh emmmmm gee. The Avengers was perfect! These two. Seriously. Heart.
