R.I.P this blog.

We still love you, but we don’t luff this blog anymore. I hope we can be friends?

Fuck that! just find us at http://plaidpolaroidme.tumblr.com/ .

Don’t freak, new project coming soon!

Dead Ghosts are the reason your girlfriend left you. Ignited by cheap beer, the four-piece band from Vancouver makes rowdy songs to shake your long hair to. Dead Ghosts’ debut 7″ single ‘what to do/god only knows’ is Off The Hook. Raw Vancouver weirdness filled with sweet guitar pluck-and-jangle and doo-woppy choruses. “ I Want Your Love”  and “What to Do” are not to miss. Some might say Floridas dying, i say it’s dead. Dead Ghosts.

Impossible Project has one concrete aim: To keep the magic of analog Instant Photography alive by inventing and producing new instant film materials for Vintage Polaroid cameras. The mission was not to re-build Polaroid film but to develop a new product with new characteristics. Finding new solutions for replacing problematic or unavailable components to carry Instant Film production into the 21st century. Impossible has also opened Project Spaces in New York City, Tokyo and Vienna that serve as vivid hubs for analog instant photography. Not only carrying all available analog films and cameras, but also feature exhibitions of a wide range of artistic projects of artists including Nobuyoshi Araki, Adam Goldberg and Ryan McGinley. The Future is analogue. Polaroid me?

Some things never change:

-  Rent. Rent is a bitch. (unless you are homeless)

-  Ageing. Face it, you looked better yesterday. (unless you are Goldie Hawn in a real life version of “Death Becomes Her”)

-  Death (unless you are Chuck Norris)

- Boredom (unless you have discovered the internet)

and then there is this Blog.

A few things are on my mind lately:

1.  Tumblr. Get on it. This blog is lame. Serious Skittles.

2. Ice-Cream colored sunnies. Maybe I’m just hungry, or maybe I can just predict the “cool trends” future. Or maybe I should just be quiet.

3. Not spending time indoors. I should be going now… laters!

I want you to listen to this. You Should Close The Door. Craft Spells is the kind of band too good to share just with anyone, but you’re not anyone. Craft Spells started as just another bedroom pop project, but happened to be the missing piece in the DYI music scene puzzle. Songs like “You Should Close The Door” and “For The Ages” could easily pass for incantations, or are they? California native Justin Vallesteros is the mastermind behind the dreamy pop basslines, and spell casting synths that will leave you in a state of enchantment. Careful not to drool.

There is something about blank walls. The white walls in your apartment have nothing to do with minimalistic aesthetics, I am sure. Hopefully you have some windows. Maybe a blank canvas is inspiring, yeah maybe for like 5 minutes. Do something about it dude, or else!

Brooklyn local designer Samantha Pleet’s namesake collection has quickly become fashion staple to creative minds. The eco-conscious clothes have been heard to occupy significant space on the closets of the girls on your iTunes’ latest played list. Music, art and literature all come together to inspire Pleet’s unorthodox aesthetics making for a line suited for a Neo-Noir muse. Her collaborative effort with Urban Outfitters on line “Rapscallion by Samantha Pleet” is also worth a screening. Spellbound yet?

Guards came about when Richie Follin wrote and recorded songs for his younger sister, Madeline of the band Cults, but ended up singing on the songs himself. A “Tweet” from Cults turned the low-key project into a social media musical sensation and unintentionally woke up the dead. The self-titled EP of cryptic pop is available for free download on the Band Camp website. Songs “Don’t Wake The Dead” and “I See It Coming” are not to miss. Did you see it coming?
