she & him.

Just saw this new video by She & Him for “In the Sun” off their upcoming album, Volume Two {can’t wait!}. M. Ward is great. Zooey Deschanel is incredibly adorable. I’ve never seen “High School Musical” before, but I guess that’s what it’s styled after. Whatever it is, it works for me…

a little {ok, a lot} of ray.

Who is that musician {or musicians} that you always go to time and again? When I need to feel calm. When I want to go to that moody place. When I just need some relaxing tunes. It is a small handful of musicians I count on and Ray LaMontagne has been the one who seems to always be on. In fact, I’m actually listening to him as I type this post {makes sense, right?}. So I thought I’d share some concert posters I found online from his past shows.

temptation.

Had to share this video {by Steve V} I found that Joanna posted regarding the psychology experiment of willpower. It’s too cute and funny not to. There’s a story about it in The New Yorker as well. Tempted?

Jill Bliss for Handmade Nation.

One of my favorite creative folks, Portland-based artist Jill Bliss, has recently designed two limited edition pieces through 20×200. The Handmade Treehomes prints are simply lovely {perhaps a dreamy place to imagine living in} and are even more special because they are a benefit edition for Handmade Nation. You can learn more about it by checking out the 20×200 blog.

Friday Cuteness.

Have you seen the movie (500) Days of Summer yet? I haven’t but am hoping to make the time to do so. Zooey Deschanel is obviously adorable and the trailers alone make me totally crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Take those two cuties, add a song by She & Him {love She & Him, by the way}, with a bit of dancing, and perhaps you get a fun little video like this…

I have dreams of Orca whales and owls.

So maybe that wasn’t what I was dreaming of last night. But, I thought I’d share this adorable clip of Regina Spektor with you for your morning. She looks so happy and it just looks like they’re having a fun time. I saw this yesterday via another blog who found it via another blog, etc. while I was surfing. Sorry that I can’t remember where I saw it exactly.
