Glee! The television commercial for Miss Dior Cherie is finally available in a high quality form. Just as gorgeous as the print ads, Sofia Coppola has worked her magic… bicycles, macarons, flowers, cute boys. The song is Moi Je Joue by Brigitte Bardot. Swoon.

Where are the lyrics to this sound to be found? I have seen various declarations such as “it’s about pancakes” (or hot dogs?), “the song is about 3 young ladies who fall into Marcel Duchamp by accident and decide to change their lives as a result” and mentions of hippos. Huh? Who knows!
At least your [...]
I love this ad for Nokia maps! Yes, they are a big bad global brand but really they are quite lovable, creating very interesting communications pieces - have you seen the 4th screen manifesto?
This one is for creative kids of all ages… I especially appreciate the gloriously inky marker at 0:27 - it makes me [...]

Elektrobank, directed by Spike Jonze and starring one Sofia Coppola. I have been scouring the internet for the last few days looking for the Miss Dior Cherie clip but alas, nothing yet. Dear Internet Goddesses, please provide!
However, I did stumble upon the iheartsofia youtube channel which made me feel loads better, and amongst the champagne [...]

But on screen you must let the imagination do all the work using sound and fantasy to conjure a scent. Hence, we are presented with wild worlds - the transcendence of gravity, time and space, usually smothered [...]
Dear SubPop Records,
Thank-you for all the joy you have brought into the world. The day you signed The Shins the world smiled… and when the Phantom Limb video was made… Well, it’s a slow burning epic. A school play to rule all school plays. The end and saving grace of the world. Okay, maybe that’s [...]

Just dance! This song is totally indulgent and silly but I love it. It’s the kind of amp-up song that I would have played in my old apartment on a Saturday night. My friends would have arrived and be starting to get drunk on wine while I would still be running around slamming on mascara [...]

As a writer, I clearly give a fuck about the Oxford Comma. While I’m not a serial user of it (oh no, grammar joke watch out), you gotta know your tools! Right then, here’s Vampire Weekend and their lyrically ambitious earworm Oxford Comma. I haven’t been able to get it out of my head for [...]

There has been a lot of Kanye hating recently but you can’t deny talent. He makes fun, friendly songs and the ‘Good Life’ won a Grammy for best Rap after all. The video was directed by Jonas and François with animation by So Me, the same crew who made Justice’s super D.A.N.C.E. T-shirt video. Illustrated [...]
This past week I’ve been watching loads of Olympic highlights, as we all do every four years. My favourite sports by far are diving and gymnastics. Tiny robin like creatures, floating through the air, moving their bodies in phenomenal ways. It makes me want to take up tumbling! But the original amazing little bird, who [...]
