A trophy that I made for us in fur and gold...

Lately I cannot stop listening to Bat for Lashes. Natasha Khan's voice reminds me of Bjork and the outfits she wears makes me think of her as a sort of musical Tiger Lily.

Here are two of my favorites off the album Fur and Gold:

Horse and I
Trophy
Trophy (live video)

Took me a few listens to get used to, but now I can not get Natasha Khan's aural magic out of my head ♥.

Oh, so cute!

Only Pushing Daisies could make kissing someone with saran wrap romantic. Honestly, my heart is all aflutter over this show.

Happy October!

To celebrate the advent of the month of cauldrons bubbling, witches cackling, and trouble brewing, I bid a fond farewell to the month of September* with this fine collection of audio candy! I bring thee a quaint collection of my September audio darlings for a month with which I associate the loss of summer and the languid freedom which it brings. In simple terms, it's a mix cd, with no official spiffy mix cd art as is the protocal for these things. Seeing as how I lost my photoshop in the great Swenson crash of '07, I cannot make pretty things until I'm ready to dish out beaucoup d'argent.

Amelia, it was just a false alarm

Finally got around to watching Aeon Flux. Honestly, It was borderline ridiculous. Martin Csokas was one sexy bastard, though. Really, the man effortlessly catches my attention in every single movie he has ever done. Aside from him though, I have to admit that I thought Amelia Warner was a billion times cuter than Charlize Theron. I really wish that Una Flux had gotten more screen time.
