When's the best time to buy a bird?

When it's going "cheep"!

This is a pretty cute idea.

The director of Strawberry Swing vid for Coldplay. Whilst this is by far my favourite, the Beck video is particularly awesome.

Sledgehammer!

Only a couple of days ago, I was "reminiscing" about this music video (made a year before I was born!), but the last post made me think of it. Absolutely fucking brilliant imagination, and so well executed for the 80s! Take it away, Peter.

Strawberry Swing

So here it is. Coldplay's official 'Strawberry Swing' video directed by Shynola.



I'm so glad it's an actual music video and not just an advert for a fucking insurance company, or a phone company - I'm sick to death of big corporate brands jumping on the band wagon, when their brand values and core sensibilities aren't even reflected in the disproportionately large amount of creativity on show. It's as if animation/cartoons/hand drawn things have become absolute commonplace on mainstream telelvision (my boyfriend detests this wave) and up until now, this hatred had not yet been instilled in me, but finally I have decided that it's all a bit too much. So... no more Carphone Warehouse animations, please?

Bone dry.

In hope of getting my creative juices flowing again, I have yet again turned to this blog to keep all the good things I like or stumble across all in one place. It is an absolute necessity. I feel wrinkled and without any purpose. I need to get good, get me a good job/placement and get to the Big Smoke. Student life seems ever so distant and yet I mourn it already! After two or so months. After the holidays, parties and festivals, I feel devoid of all creativity and ready to inject some life back into me. Please, for God's sake, inspire me?
