baby just one kiss will get these things for you

The stars are aligning for Sydney lovers of the holy alliance of musicians and film (um, everyone? Surely) - there's a Rolling Stones doco screening this week, Serge biopic starting the next and maybe most excitingly, The Promise: the making of Darkness On The Edge Of Town. My fave Springsteen record, plus the idea of a couple of hours in a darkened cinema in the company of The Boss is just too good to pass up.

and life is like a song

Sometimes all a girl wants to do is lie in bed and watch technicolour musicals. I would pretty much wear everything in this film, no kidding. And the picnic scene is hard to beat - all I want for summer is a boy who rolls his cuffs up.  

I'll be seeing you

Melbourne lost weekend! 

It's not Vegas - there will be stories.

Real Wild Child

Drew Barrymore is my spirit animal

Initials S.G.

New documentary Gainsbourg & His Girls, plus finally an Australian release for the biopic! It's all about cigarette smoke, seduction and being tres, tres jolie-laide. It's the summer of Serge.

what a lovely way to burn

new mixtape!

perfectly lethal

This guy comes on like a cross between tattooed rockabilly bad boy and Gram Parsons-style country crooner, a near perfect combination.

Sure he's currently in rehab but then country music, not to mention rock & roll in general has always been a haven for the beautifully fucked-up. If you can turn a good  story out of your heartbreak and hard living you're welcome. 

It's a hell of a name to live up to - Justin Townes Earle. And the thing is, he does.

(did I mention he does a great Replacements cover?)

best pull up my skirt

the song is problematic in all kinds of ways (why don't you love me? really B?) and I know the Betty Page homage has been done to death but goddamn, Beyonce looks incredible in this video.

none of that, sugar

Oh Tony Curtis, you cross-dressing heartbreaker. 

One of the best cinema love scenes ever - it's basically perfect, and romantic as hell.

really fucking cute
