Pssst…I got some presents in my email today! Some super top secret brand new pieces by everyone’s favorite man with the fancy pants, Mr. Will Bryant. Thank you Will!

Guys. I did it. I tried to hold out, but I couldn’t keep myself away from it’s seductive wiles.
You guessed it, I’m on Twitter. Right here. I know you’re out there fellow Tweeters, let’s be internet friends! Also? LeVar Burton is on Twitter? Awesome. Butterfly in the sky I can fly twice as high…

I’ve been a fan of Anni Rossi for a while now, but she’s finally released her first full-length album, Rockwell. Recorded with Steve Albini, the higher production value really showcases her sound. Stark & simple, she taps percussion with her feet or beats on the body of her viola, but the real charmer for me is her unique vocal style. Sometimes she talks, purposefully breaks or uses a surprise key change, you can tell she’s worked hard to develop such texture. Excellent Pitchfork review (includes full album preview) and her myspace.

Oh, wooooow. Here is an awesome set of adorable vintage radios on flickr. And here is an awesome set of color palettes inspired from said radios on COLOURlovers. This is indeed a good start to my Monday!

Uhhh. I didn’t realize how busy I was, with 3 projects due right now & squeezing in last-minute plans with out of town friends. So I’m going on blog vacation for a couple days. My feedreader has become just another way to procrastinate (Can you blame me? So many lovely things to look at!) It’s 2am and time to turn off, I’ll miss you guys!
