Awards

The fantastic Nita-Karoliina gave me the "I Love Your Blog" Award.

I shall post the 7 blogs I pass the award to over the next few days.
Internet is VERY slow - so it's hard to reply to comments & link blogs.

I chose the 2006 S/S Dolce & Gabbana campaign with Gemma Ward, Lily Donaldson, Caroline Trentini, Raquel Zimmermann & Jeisa Chiminazzo.

Don't Stop The Music

One of my favourite bands, The Killers, has a new song, 'Human.'
The 1st single from their album 'Day & Age', out end of November.

They have released 3 wonderful albums:
1. Hot Fuss
2. Sam's Town
2. Sawdust

I prefer the "look" of 'Hot Fuss' to 'Sam's Town.'
In regards to the music itself, I am unsure.
I wonder what the look & photography of their new album shall be.

Yes, the lead singer, Brandon Flowers is gorgeous : )
One of my top Favourite Men.

Hot Fuss (2004)

Sam's Town (2006)

Which do you prefer???

Hot Fuss, Sam's Town or Sawdust???

Underneath It All

More Kate Moss with her infamous Calvin Klein ads.
I must say that I actually prefer the 2006 ad.

1992 (Kate & Mark Wahlberg)

2006 (Kate & Jamie Dornan)

Which one do you prefer??

(I Just) Died in Your Arms

This is one of the most powerful images of a band I have ever seen.
Many bands use cliche shots - I guess there are only so many styles.

Bands can't have have fake photos - they reveal if there is musical integrity or not.

It is that of the late 70's British band, Joy Division.
They chose their name from the back story to the novel, House of Dolls.
I have read it and let me tell you it is not for the faint hearted.
Their song 'No Love Lost' contains an edited passage from the novel.


Black & White vs. Colour
I don't think powerful band images need to be black & white.
This is one of the best shots of Muse & it is full of bright colours.
It is powerful, but in a completely different way.


Muse

What's your favourite band image ever??

Does it need to be black & white??

I Just Had To

I just had to upload at least one of these pictures.
This is the first time I have done 2 blogs in 1 day.
After spending weeks trying to find the large images I finally have.
This is one of my favourite campaigns EVER and it is for Burberry.

It has the wonderful Sam Riley (one of my favourite men - on the list on the right) and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.


In regards to my post about everyone having a band, Sam Riley's is called 10,000 Things.

Music Makes The People....

So they say that male musicians are appealing.
Honestly, I don't think I would find it more appealing if someone was one or not.

Is it an extra appeal to you????

It seems everyone sings/is in a band.
Ed Westwick (Chuck from Gossip Girl) sings in a band, The Filthy Youth. (image below).
If you were wondering, they sound like The Libertines.
Nice to listen to if you enjoy hearing his English accent : )


Black & White Photography
When a photo is in black & white it instantly appears more artistic.
I found a picture of a bench & for some reason it looks arty.
If the picture was coloured it would look stupid.
