a visual collective outlet of inspiration
i know by now some of you are sick of this song but given dd just posted the cover, i found it timely. this track was quite amazing had it not been over played at every wanna be hipster joint in NY in the last 2 years. by xy

motown: martha and the vandellas
while we are on that topic, here’s another great clip. more than the song, i love the way they move in the first 50 seconds, so damn breezy and cool. just standing, their feet never move. i’m practicing this starting tomorrow morning… coffee and cigarette in hand. by dd
Complainte de la Seine: by carlotta manaigo
not sure what’s better, the film or the comment on the post: “woman dresses, smokes a cigarette, talks on the phone and runs down to a bridge to get penetrated by an extremely long boat.” – jens fuckin’ hansen

paris match – paul weller and everything but the girl
aaaah getting all nostaligic now… this was once a favorite of mine, tracey thorn of “everything but the girl”, which by the way took its name from a furniture store ben watts and tracey lived above that sold everything a bachelor could want… except the girl of course (what a great name). on this track, stacey sings over paul weller’s guitar for style council. by dd

saskia de barauw
beautifully dark picture of model saskia de brauw by photographer luigi murenu (streeters). love the lips the composition and the open torso. by dd
ballerina: a film by bertrand normand
another beautiful film, this one on the russian mariinsky theater (kirov) by filmmaker bertrand normand. both films are worth a watch for anyone remotely interested in the observation of man as a being… i always said if the aliens come here one day, they’ll learn more about “man” in observing the french gardens and ballet rather than silicone valley or nasa. i think herzog would agree with me on that. by dd
