The Horse and I 2007-12-05 11:30:27
Just recently we have been pointed to the fine music act called Bat For Lashes. What a strange band name. But the music is rather good! And we love their video for “What’s a girl to do”, check it out after the break. The music reminds me of many things: a bit of Black Cherry by Goldfrapp (not the dance tracks, though), a hint of Boys For Pele by Tori Amos, some smoke from The Reminder by Feist, some crazy vocals from Kate Bush, and finally a dash of strangeness from Björk- this seems to be their recipe. Their album is called Fur and Gold. More images, audioclips and the video after the jump.

We heart Japanese noodles 2007-12-12 11:40:20
Not only is this Japanese
restaurant extremely nice to look at, it also serves excellent food. The Susuru offers a variety of authentic delicious Japanese noodle soups on a regularly changing menu, as well as some side dishes they refer to as Japanese Tapas. We expecially like Edamame, a small snack consisting of young soy beans in sea salt, the Chicken Curry Udon, which is a very hip dish in Japan right now, and the Matcha Macchiato, which is hot milk with green tea powder. Read on for more infos, photos and a short video.(more…)

Game Over 2007-12-13 14:00:13
It ended how it all began: with an elevator on the 11th floor. In the video we received a month ago we were asked not to push the button. But when we finally stood in that same elevator, we actually did push the button. When we arrived the game that had developed from the video during the past month came to an end.

Fancy Tree, Part 3 2007-12-20 13:00:50

Here you will not only find glamorous ornaments but also any other kind of fancy interior design items and decoration. More images and infos after the break.

Fancy Tree, Part 1 2007-12-19 18:08:49
Â
Christmas is less than a week away and I guess most people already have at least a bit of Christmas decoration in their houses. Unlike Americans, we Germans wait until Christmas Eve before we put up our trees and decorate them with ribbons and ornaments. I think this year you all might consider to buy some fancy new things for your tree. Here we have three suggestions where to buy the best Christmas deco in town.

Accidents & Emergency 2007-12-18 06:00:34
The new Goldfrapp single A&E will be released on Febuary 3rd. The song is definately the highlight of the new album Seventh Tree and we’ve listened to it on repeat one for days now. It reminds me a lot of the greatness of Utopia, a brilliant song from their first album Felt Mountain, but it has a more naturalistic sound. The whole album is more of the likes of their melodic and atmpospheric debut Felt Mountain. Fans of their latest record Supernature may be a bit disappointed because there is not one danceable song on it. But for all of you who look for something dreamy and magical for a cosy winter night or a gloomy morning this is just the right music.
Our friends of life style magazine MÄNNER let us have a sneak peak of their upcoming interview with Alison and Will as well as a new batch of promotional photos. More after the jump.

This is a scenario you will not so soon find in Berlin. There is no snow in this picture. Everything is frozen and covered by ice like in the photo of the previous post. A perfect view for Christmas.

What’s Behind the Blinds? 2008-03-11 12:38:27 Sun-blinds are the aesthetical faux pas of the 20th century. Vanished from our living rooms they became nostalgic artefacts reminding us of our childhood. If you could wear them like a dress they would become vintage in 50 years, like the fringe dresses of the Twenties are now. For the theater fans amongst you who [...] Read more:Blinds
A Spicy Passion For Fashion 2008-03-09 08:30:20
Some like it hot and raunchy. At least this seems to be the case for Ukrainian footwear store chain Luciano Carvari. In their new campaign Flora Amore they show their shoes on dripping wet models in grow houses. The photo series kind of has the appeal of a wet T-shirt contest, only with expensive designer dresses. It seems that today you really have [...] Read more:Spicy

Madonna has only 4 Minutes 2008-03-08 13:21:26
This is the new photoshoot of Madonna
by Steven Klein. It’s for the promotion of her new album Hard Candy that will be released on April 25th. It reminds us a lot of Christina Aguilera’s Dirrty video, don’t you think?

KATHARINE HAMNETT SAY CHOOSE LIFE 2008-03-01 07:00:00

The Love Of A Dog 2008-02-28 12:00:05
How far can the love to an animal go? Or better: How far can we push the limits with an advertising campaign? This fashion spread was done for Deutsch Magazine and it makes you wonder why fashion photographers so often have the urge to break taboos. Although when I think about it, a dog licking [...]
The Art Nun 2008-02-27 13:00:07 Have you ever wondered what nuns do behind the gates of their sacred convents? Well, obviously they do art. At least that was the case for Sister Corita who must have been the Andy Warhol of the Cathlic church of her time. From Friday on you can see some of her work as well [...]
