Bill Cunningham New York
[website | buy | Netflix]
Woah, who’s that old perv above taking then sneaky shots of ladies’ legs??  Shouldn’t he be locked up, or at least have the pervy decency to wear a trench-coat?  Heck no!  That’s Mr Bill Cunningham, street fashion photographer extraordinaire, who writes shoots what he sees, and then the people see what he sees and then those sees seen sometimes become like the latest rave in threads and kicks and stuff!  It’s all true, but for those of us who don’t frequent his NY Times ‘On The Street’ thing and don’t know no nothing about all this and him and that, we should be berry thankful that Richard Press’ lovely doc Bill Cunningham New York exists.  You watch this thing and you will see a man who does nothing but work work work work, and has the best time in the world doing so, all while being beyond beloved and respected by fashionistas everywhere.  You will see a man who wants for nothing, a man who eats on the cheap even more than we do, and a man who’s majority of furniture consists of filing cabinets filled with his work.  You will also see a man who is never without a smile.  Watch it, and you will be frown-less as well.  DEVELOP THIS!!!
Ladytron – Gravity The Seducer
[website | buy | stream]
Female singers are awesomes, especially when they’ve got cool bleeps and noises and synths and shizzle ba flizzes backing them up.  That combination of sweet sweet music is one of the reasons we’ve been bobbing our heads for years to the lithe Liverpudlian ladies of Ladytron.  While their latest, Gravity The Seducer, may not be the mos rockenist album in their catalog, it may be their mos gravity seducing one.  IT’S TRUE!!!  There’s only one song we didn’t care for (‘Moon Palace’), but all the rest we cared about, a lot!!!  The first words you hear on the album are ‘Surrender with me.’  WE SURRENDERED RIGHT THEN AND THERE!!!!  That’s also true.  We’d hactually go as far to say that Gravity The Seducer is the best new album we’ve heard this year…
…out of the three we’ve listened to!
IT’S TRUE!!!
