If a fanzine writer becomes a mom, does a tree fall in the forest?

Not gonna lie... Kinda obsessed with Dreamshow lately.

I think I've listened to The Girl's Out 50x in the last month.  Oop... no, iTunes says it's more like 88x.  Even better.  I'd love to say that I'm hip enough to source this sort of thing on my own through blogs, zines, hand-drawn show posters, and obscure venues in Honolulu, San Diego, and Austin- and years ago, that would have been true.  But I have 3 kids, an artist, and two businesses to wrangle; which means that nowadays I find my music through JCrew ads.  *hangs head in shame*

ANYWAAAY...

They've also got a suuuuper random tumblr full of gems like this:

Hello, World...

You guys, I'm pretty much obsessed with these stunning short films from the "Hello, World" 

collaboration project by Garance Dore and Scott Schuman for J.Crew.  

Stylish up-and-comers at the top of their game, through the eyes of Garance and Scott?  Ummm, yes, yes, YES!  

These little films couldn't possibly get more gorgeous.  The music, the styling, the ever-so-carefully selected slow-motion shots...  Damn.  SO so good.  I want to see a full-length film done by Garance & Scott!  I'm sure it's not far off.  ♥

Two of my favorites:

Ok, they made a guy on a bike look somehow ballerina-like!  

And that BITE Hilary pulls off of her fork!!!  Has a more stunning bite ever happened???
