Most Amazing Thing Ever! The Knife Opera

The Knife's electro Charles Darwin inspired opera. Insanely amazing.

Anders Nilsen

Earlier this week I was in B&N when I came across the most beautiful cover for Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales. Brad said it looked like a Sufjan cover, I defitely agree. The image above doesn't do it justice, you MUST see it in person. Especially so that you can see the back cover and flaps. I rushed home and looked up the artist and was pleasantly surprised to see that he lives here in Chicago! Anders Nilsen is the illustrator and he's absolutely fantastic. His work is so dreamy and beautiful.

NEW Charlotte Gainsbourg

Charlotte Gainsbourg - IRM from Charlotte Gainsbourg on Vimeo.

I am beyond excited. Charlotte is one of my favorite artists ever and she's doing something new! She's just released a promotional video (above) for her new album IRM (produced, mixed and co-written by Beck). Here's a link to a download of her new single.
