Andrew Holder

"Mountain Town""Early Bird"
A friend sent me to the site of Andrew Holder. His work is so good! Very detailed and amazing color palette. I need one.

Italy <3's France

DUDES! (in suits). You think Roman Coppola's video for Phoenix references the Serge clip posted by Damien earlier...MUCH?

Dan Funderburgh - New Site

A man amongst men Dan Funderburgh just launched a new site with beautiful patterns / wallpapers / products and drawings. Check it out!

Serge Gainsbourg

Nothing else to add to this, but it is one of my favorite Serge Gainsbourg songs and this is just a rad rad scene from the Georges Lautner film "La Pacha."

Archetype - Roy Orbison

The definition of picking a style that works and sticking with it. Consistency, gentleman. Orbison was a pop-song writing machine in the 50s & 60s. The Beatles OPENED FOR HIM!! Trademark looks, trademark hooks. Part of that look came by accident when he left behind his glasses on a plane during a tour, leaving him with only his prescription shades. I've been thinking of him lately after I came across this band Ancient Crux. I think we are ready to move on from the Brian Wilson influenced records and slide into something more Orbisony.

Jean Rollin Set

I thought for my first D.I.S post I'd creep you out a little. Check out this Flickr set with images from the work of french "fantastique" director Jean Rollin. Aside from being gorgeous his films take on heavy topics like babes getting lost in a cemetery and lesbian vampires living in a castle. Hot!

RIGGINS!!!

I have found that almost all of my friends have found a secret obsession with the show Friday Night Lights. I am included now. It's about high school football in Texas... sounds bad but it's so good. You don't have to have a TV, it's on hulu and netflix and the rest. Tim Riggins is amazing. Check it out!

Mast Brothers

Last night we had a get-together and sampled some of this amazing chocolate by Brooklyn chocolatiers, Rick and Michael Mast. The packaging is simple, looks to be dead stock wrapping paper w/ craft paper labels... so good. Check out Mast Brothers Chocolate.

BEER!

I have been into Growlers (a big jug) of beer these days. Here are my spots: Grab and Beirkraft in Parkslope Brooklyn. It's a eco-friendly because there is no waste, the beer is fresh and local and you can play Edward Growler Hands. So good!
