TUESDAY TUNES | SONG FOR ZULA

This week I didn't have time for a full playlist, but with this song by Phosphorescent, you won't even need it. One my dearest friends Renée, who has a new blog called Cultura Nouvelle, introduced me to this song and what can I say, I fell in absolute love. If this is one of the last songs I ever hear I think I could be perfectly content with that.

This song is a perfect blend of heartache, transparency and mystery that we all have maybe become familiar with. It is as though Matthew Houck took a part of every breaking soul, built it right into his voice and right into those violins. Feel it for yourself...



Some say love is a burning thing  That it makes a fiery ring Oh but I know love as a fading thing Just as fickle as a feather in a stream See, honey, I saw love. You see, it came to me It put its face up to my face so I could see Yeah then I saw love disfigure me Into something I am not recognizing

Typography Thursday

Pssssssssssst...It's almost Friday! [Happy dance!]

This evening I am going to be making my way to Athens, GA to surround myself with good company, good vibes and good times. I just can't wait! This weekend is definitely needed so forgive me blogging world while I excuse myself. I may or may not schedule some posts for this weekend, but I hope all of you have a fantastic weekend.

Anyway -
This Thursday I bring to you...typography. I am such a fan. I've been downloading fonts since I was a little youngin' but my taste has definitely improved (at least I hope). Being in a Media Graphics class this semester has opened up my eyes to actual terminology used in the typography world and I. am. loving. it! Here's some typography-related things to keep you inspired typographically :]


Isn't that clever?

And now for some typography laughs.
And now you can't beat fonts + kittens!
Here are some of my favorites, check out the rest here.

Obviously, my favorite is Helvetica :)
Hope this made you smile today.

A little holiday cheer

A friend of mine decided to make a JibJab video of us for the holiday season. He made it a couple weeks ago, but I just noticed it last night, so thank you Frederick for having this float around on Facebook [without my knowledge]. I find it extremely humorous. He's made these videos for the past two years. New holiday tradition? Probably.

Also, one of my favorite artists, Rachel Platten, is having free music on Noisetrade today. Download here! You won't regret it.

 HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
