Somewhere

Sofia Coppola's long awaited comeback is here and as early as now, I have become unsettled (her films, just like her father's, affect me one way or the other). Somewhere (2010) seems like a promising film, that I am sure of. What I'm uncertain about is the song towards the end of the trailer. It sounds awfully familiar to The Strokes' You Only Live Once but not quite since the trailer says it was scored by Phoenix. I do know both bands enjoy a good relationship and the same kind of following but am I missing something here? A collaboration, perhaps? Something that the blogs weren't warned about?

Ahhh! I know now! This song was originally a demo for You Only Live Once. It's called I'll Try Anything Once, by The Strokes. Cover by Phoenix. :) Yay!!!

Let's go to the beach!

I got inspired by Grease, our movie for the night, thus this photo post that I'm about to share. Glorious HD frames of Danny Zucko, Sandra Dee and Betty Rizzo (my favorite) shaking their hips to Elvis Presley kept me inspired to hanker on to glorious summer days.

Here are some photos I took when I went out for a walk along the sandy beaches of Florida--an excellent location for the summer because gorgeous young people actually drive to this place. For reasons unknown to humanity because this place is an award-winning hotbed of heat.

Years from now, I will look through the archives of this blog and think to myself that once, a long, long, long time ago, I had the penchant for creeping people out before actually meeting them. Sometimes, it works. Most times, well.. what do you know. I do it for kicks. Haha!

Pretty Young Thing

I love this video. Some New York-er brought a boombox, playing P.Y.T. by the great Michael Jackson, onto the subway full of strangers. Watch the video and see what happens. Sometimes you just have to love New York. I took a night stroll around the tiki bars and beach clubs along Jacksonville Beach last Saturday but the rowdy woohoos and the smell of SPF, sand and alcohol can't hold a candle to this subway sensation. One hand in the air for the big city!!!

"I want to love you, pretty young thing, you need some lovin'.." Aaah yes, to be young and living in a great city. Someday, someday. ;)
