TORONTO: March 22! This week! Big show!
Yeah, we’ll be there. We hit the stage at 1AM at the ElMocambo, but come earlier to enjoy some of Quebec’s finest.
Find tix through Ticketmaster or through this schlub who thinks you are an idiot and would pay more than double (not recommended).
See you there! ♥ Natalia

Bloggers Show Love, We Love Bloggers.
I’m not sure why we even need to classify them as “bloggers,” they are just people with opinions and computers. Making them, essentially, just people. Much like you and I. Anyway, the year’s end is upon us, a time of reflection, regret, anticipation, hope. I too have had my moments of reflection; the year has been tumultuous and yet somehow I have never been so at ease and...

Image: Lost In The Plot by Gemma Correll
Did we ever talk about this? It is, in internet terms, ancient history (almost a year old): the Indie Rock Poster Book, another endeavour for charity, but that contains a drawing by Norwich-based illustrator Gemma Correll, inspired by the track “Lost in the Plot.”
Paste Magazine decribes: “The ‘edge of panic’ that Correll illustrates in this poster is closely...
The Dears remain criminally under-appreciated.

Diana+ and the Camera-Birdhouse.
Earlier this summer I was asked if I was interested in “re-imagining” the Diana+ analogue camera by Lomography as part of an ongoing world tour. I accepted, a little uneasily since I am not one that excels at tactile design. I imagined several possibilities, including a motion-triggered shutter. But the mechanics were way beyond me, and I didn’t have that kind of time. Instead...
