The Lost Notebooks of Hank WIlliams

I've never considered myself a country fan, but somewhere along the way I took a huge liking to Hank Williams music. "Hey Good Lookin'" makes me smile and sing every time I hear it. Now, unrecorded music from Williams' notebooks has been recorded into a new album by a variety of current artists, including Bob Dylan. (I think the NPR report on this is the best.) "You're Through Fooling Me" performed by Patty Loveless  and "The Love That Faded" performed by Bob Dylan are my favorites of the moment.

King Charles Love Lust

There's a hip new Tumblr in town. http://shesrantingagain.tumblr.com/. That's where I found this:

Caught A Ghost

I was lucky enough to first hear this band at a house party in Pacific Palisades. The next show I went to was a wild art party in Downtown LA. No-matter the setting, Caught A Ghost makes for a good time.

Fall/Winter

Sensing the urgency to have cool weather clothes in my portfolio, I'm adjusting my Spring/Summer collection to be a bit more Fall/Winter. Here's a glimpse of the work in progress. I'll tweak them more after fashion week.

I don't personally like this video, but I do like the song:

Rocked out to this all summer too:
