sock it to me

Curling your hair using a plain old everyday sock. Sounds crazy right? We thought so too. But watch this tutorial on youtube and you just may change your mind...

brother

In love with this song 'Brother' by emerging Australian artist Matt Corby. At only 21 Matt's voice has been compared to legendary artists Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley. You wouldn't have guessed that this crazy talented guy came second in Australian Idol way back in 2007 at the tender age of 16. He's all grown up now and taking the indie music world by storm. Enjoy this gorgeous acoustic version of 'Brother' ;)

cover it up

Wow. Love this cover by band Walk Off The Earth of Gotye's mega popular song 'Somebody that I used to know'. The original is a  stunner but this cover is just as amazing! Check it out.

Once again ...Wow.

100 years in 100 seconds

Have a looksie at this cool video. Its promoting the new Westfield Stratford City Shopping Centre that opened in London in September 2011. 100 years of East London style in 100 seconds.  We love this, but are shuddering at some of the fashion towards the end!

a match made in heaven

Sometimes music video clips can be just as amazing as the song that they are made to complement! A prime example is this music video from emerging Melbourne indie-folk artist, Hudson.  Hudson hooked up with director Dropbear, aka Jonathan Chong, to make this spectacular stop motion video for his dreamy song, "Against The Grain".

They cleverly utilise colored pencils and stop motion techniques to create a kaleidoscope of wonderfulness! We heart! Check it out!
