The Knife In Collaboration with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock - Colouring of Pigeons

I've recently talked about the Knife, well... Excuse me, I should say half of the Knife or Fever Ray, when I reviewed last.fm top 40 of the year, last December. I read some weeks ago that the band were working on an opera based off Charles Darwin's life and work... I was really intrigued and because I told myself that I would try more of them, I decided to give it a listen...

And I really enjoyed it.
I wouldn't be able to tell if it really fits the theme but the music and the voice of the main singer are quite enchanting and succeed in making you forgetting the track is 11mn after all.
I've been meaning to publish the song but I forgot until I saw yesterday that the Knife released digitally the whole opera on their website - we will have to wait till next month for a audio release.
That just means that if you're - like me -willing to try more of it, you know where to go! I'll be sure to give a listen to the album as I was really looking forward to the final project.

Katy Perry @ the Grammys 2010

Katy Perry in Zac Posen
Katy Perry gets her own post to highlight the fact that she really should have chosen a better support for her twins, and a better dress overall... When I think I featured her as someone to look forward to last year... It pains me.

Grammys 2010 - Yawn Yawn Yawn boring.

My parents were browsing through the channels for something to watch when they realized the Grammys were on. They decided to have a quick preview; the Black Eyed Peas were performing at this moment. After less than two minutes, they already had changed the channel to some a show talking about fishermen or what not... Anyway, something really boring.. The fisherman life seemed more interesting to them that the Grammys!

I was somewhat excited about the Grammys because singers have been known to take more fashion risks/ play more with fashion that their actors counterpart... This theory has been proved wrong at the Grammys where everybody showed up in long red carpet dresses. Even Rihanna!
I was saying in the post below that I couldn't wait to see if she would been able to top Lady Gaga in her Armani Prive custom dress and there she is, wearing this long feathery white gown.
 
Rihanna in Elie Saab Couture
It's a gorgeous gown but, don't forget, it's the Grammys we're talking about! Not the Oscars...

Lady Gaga @ The Grammys 2010

Lady Gaga in Armani Prive

I'm not fond of the wig but seriously, she killed it... I don't know how Rihanna will top this.

Idol Show Season 3 with 2PM

From left to right : Chansung, Junsu, Wooyong, Jaebum, Junho, Nichkhun and Taecyon

I don't want to say I never laughed so much in my whole life, but let me tell you that the experience I had watching this is pretty close to this statement...

I found this show totally by mistake, I had originally planned to watch Idol World, and I just thought people had badly tagged/named the show online. When I realized my mistake , it was too late, I had already around 4 episodes, so I decided to watch it, you know?  It had started so well...

The concept is not really original compared to other korean reality shows but you know the proverb; why fix something if it's not broken.

So onto the story : our dear members of 2PM have to compete in a various numbers of games and only one will survive at the end of the show as the best entertainer.
The catch is that most of the episode is not about the games per se but more about the couple choice they have to make at the beginning with one of the invited guests ...
This is where the fun starts...
Dancing, acting, winking, singing, everything is allowed to win the "girl" in your heart. But it doesn't stop here! Most of the time there are fewer girls than guys, as 2PM is , after all, a seven members boys band, so then the girl has also to return their feelings... Otherwise they'll end up in a boy-boy couple, and , who wants that at 20 years old?!!!

Under the jump is some highlights I really enjoyed during the show... My favorite episodes were definitely Ep.4 and Ep.14-15 because of the guests, but I can't say too much... I'll leave you with those two previews I made.


I'll miss you Jaebum.

My favourites songs of 2009

I wanted to do this post for a long time but it never really happened.
One of my friend send me his list (actually a double cd) of his favorite songs of 2009 and I really enjoyed it. I then decided I should showcase my favourites songs of 2009 in my blog, it will always be interesting to see in one or ten years what I used to like in 2009.

Animal Collective - Winters Love


I finally found the occasion to try some new Animal Collective!!! A guy posted this song on a forum as the perfect song to listen to while studying... I always wanted to try something new from Animal Collective... And I fell in love.

Always late : The SAG awards 2010 - the fashion recap

You probably already saw all the pictures but I still felt like doing a small recap...
I can start by saying that this redcarpet was way way better fashion wise than the Golden Globes... Even if, once again, no one really blew me away, the average was higher...

Now that I know how to use the read more functionality of blogger, beware!!!

Perfect Perfection





Sandra Bullock and Diane Kruger are my favorites again... I really loved the details on Sandra Bullock's Alexander McQueen's dress and even if mustard is my least favorite color ever you can't deny that Diane Kruger looks amazing in Jason Wu.

 
 
I didn't get a special love vibe either from Kate Hudson or Dianna Agron, but I really loved the design of the dresses and the updos they paired it with... You have to admit it that in the case of Kate Hudson, this is a huge step compared to her horrible Marchesa bridal dress from the Golden Globes.
