re: Martha Stewart

word up.

Sonic Youth, "Do You Believe in Rapture?"

"Do You Believe in Rapture?" has one of the best, most unexpected guitar solos of any song I've heard this year. Thurston and Kim... they still got it! (xo Jare).

9) Ann Demeulemeester

From the stiff coats and combat boots to the expertly draped layered dresses, Ann Demeulemeester had the luxury of doing what she has done well for the past 20 years be the talking points for one avenue of the season's key trends: being piled up in layers and looking like you could, if need be, bash in some poor bastard's face. The cheating fuck.
There were a couple of missteps. An annoying, "What Remains is Future" slogan was printed on a few pieces-- how profound!!!!-- and a series, thankfully brief, of some rather unsuccessful plunging neckline cum cowls with fringe to spare. Whatever, the rest was so good that we can all forgive and forget.

 

Super Furry Animals, "Cabin Fever"

The Super Furry Animals are so adorably nerdtastic. I have no idea why they aren't huge scenester mainstays. It could be that most of the members of the band are fugly? Whatever, I'd do them all. I've been listening to "Cabin Fever," from the virtually perfect Love Kraft, pretty much on repeat all week. It's gorgeous.

La La La: Download My Music

I just figured out (I'm kind of an idiot) that typepad gives me a buttload (mmm) of storage space. So say hello to a free daily song download. A soundtrack to this, if you will. Or even if you won't.
First up is the new Sparklehorse. It's been five years since his last album and I've kind of been dying a little inside with each passing day, waiting for my Mark Linkous fix. Dreamt For Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain was, to not avoid the cliche, worth the wait.
"Morning Hollow" (Mourning Hollow would be more fitting, but whatever) is Sparklehorse at their best: fragile, restrained and... about horses!

10) Anna Sui

 

Good God, these clothes are all over the place. And I love it; from head to toe, the pieces work on their own and within the context of an overall look. Anna Sui made a line that is youthful without being restricted to making sense on women under thirty. The pattern mix n’ matching is cheeky without being garish. The influences are certainly diverse, even contradictory, but it is a credit to Sui’s command of her own eclectic vision that the end result translates into one of the season’s most exuberant, joyous collections.

And not like it matters (or is a surprise), but Naomi totally wins this round of Who Wore it Best:

Word from the wise (and Rachel Zoe clearly doesn't count)-- don't wear a designer's signature fall piece to the same designer's spring show.

10 for Fall

Since everyone is writing about spring '07, I'll be writing about the 10 best shows (according to me, He-Who-Has-Never-Been-Wrong) from Fall '06.  You know, since it's currently Fall. 2006. And, just in case anyone cares about these things, I steal most of my pictures from here. OK? OK!
