Maile Lani

Maile Lani is a 21-year-old musician (pianist), poetess, diary writer, and budding photographer who currently resides in the frozen north of Canada somewhere between the Eskimos and the maple syrup farms. She spends most of her free time composing music for the poetry she writes with the ambition of one day writing music for films. When it comes to photography, she is obsessed with trying to capture the idea of the subject rather than simply the subject itself, believing that ‘implied thoughts are infinitely better than direct ones’. She says of herself, ‘I can’t draw. I can however doodle, scribble, scratch, and splatter paint on my nails. so due to my lack of drawing talent I take pictures instead’.

Side-scrolling funage for a rainy, lazy day. I’ve been putzing around on this and sipping nettle tea. Moles are cute.

Yes, Cuteoverload has been doing it for years, but can there really be too many sites devoted to cute animals? Fuck Yeah Puppies may not be original, but they have puppies. Lots and lots of puppies.

Beach House are certainly different. The dream pop/indie rock duo from Baltimore create music bursting with atmospheric rhythms, pretty organs and poignant lyrics. I’m loving Norway, the twosome’s debut single from their upcoming album, Teen Dream. If the vocals sound familiar, that’s because lead singer Victoria Legrand shared backing vocals on Grizzly Bear’s Two Weeks. Now how’s that for trivia?

Too beautiful to simply pass by, this is the Ring House by young Japanese architectural firm, TNA. Read more

Oh man, it’s a good thing I’m not living in Tokyo as I’d probably never leave the house. Japanese TV is the best. Want proof? Check out this clip from a prank show called Wake You Up where hapless victims are woken from their slumber in the most … ummm … ruthless of ways.

These Stephanie Simek designed rabbit’s foot-like charms made from pussy willow buds dangle from the ears by strands of thin chains like silent wind chimes. The earrings are approximately 3 inches long plus ear wire and available for US$125.

Kate Banazi’s silkscreen artwork

A three-lettered ‘wow’ explodes in my mind whenever I look at the work of Sydney-based silkscreen artist Kate Banazi. Her latest work is fantastically dynamic, stylistic and abstract, making clever use of colour-bomb palettes. Read more
