This week is shaping up to be more hectic than most. I'm trying to finalise a heap of new jewellery pieces to be made for the Frauleins show, doing a photo shoot for the current range, oh and just packing up all our gear to head to the Finders Keepers market in Sydney this weekend. Good times! Yet somewhat manic. Keeping me sane is the above track by Yeasayer from the Dark was the Night compilation. 

Oh and I also just read this book Dave got me, by Patti Smith, it's about her youth with photographer, Robert Mapplethorpe and was so so good. Made me ponder lots about creative relationships and how rare and wonderful they are... My review won't do her justice, but this is a good intro to Just Kids.

Never since the mandolin & banjo strummings of R.E.M. have I heard such a beautiful indie folk sound. Currently obsessed with these dudes.

I can't wipe the smile off my face. Totally ♥ the Simon & Garfunkel show in Ads last night. So so good. Was particularly pleased with the Paul Simon Graceland era interlude too. Took me back to one rainy Adelaide Grand Prix concert from my childhood. V. nice.
