Falling from above
How do you explain a rainbow? I’m sure science has its answers. In fact, one has probably been manufactured in a test tube somewhere. But really, it’s the ultimate reward for patience. A reminder that even after the fiercest of storms, something truly magic can appear. As the rain here finally abates and the sky brightens once more, the endless cycle of life spins ever forward. Who knows where each unforeseen twist will lead? Perhaps only The Office’s David Brent. He’s never been short of a theory. I like this one in particular: ‘Eagles may soar high, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines’. Which is not to say don’t aim for the stars but rather to keep an eye out for stray 747s. Mind you, can you really trust a guy in three inch heels? And, yes, you can still find them. [Illustration by Alika Cooper]

Anke Weckmann was born in Hannover and moved to London in 2001. Apart from drawing, her favourite things in the world are ‘black ink, Harriet the Spy, small birds, stripey socks, sketchbooks, elderflower cordial, spring and potatoes’.
I stumbled across the Hello, Blue Roses track, My Shadow Falls, the other week and it set my ears alight, this subtle but beautiful song and its cascading melodic line which will at once ingrain yourself in your inner-ear iPod and then disappear out the other end, leaving only the sweetest of memories.

Philly indie rock group Dr Dog recently compiled a crackling Secret Playlist for us which included props for songs by Cass McCombs, Thunderclap Newman, and the new time rag star, A.A Bundy, about whose track, Vice Rag, keyboardist Zach Miller wrote: ‘Good enough to be a classic old timey melody, except with more contemporary lyrical vices added. Great guitar playing’. And so it is [yup, the proof's in the audio below]. You can read more about Dr Dog’s favourite songs via the My Secret Playlist website.

Lost At E Minor: Music, illustration, art, photography - from Australia and beyond » Raewyn Haughton said | 22 August, 2006
[...] Says young Melbourne-based illustrator Raewyn Haughton: ‘I study Graphic Art at Swinburne and am hoping to go on to study Graphic Design next year. I live in Brunswick, Melbourne. I draw almost everyday and I’m inspired by things like asian food packaging, confectionary, signage, small children, plants, patterns and noodles. My work is very linear and I like to try and create a very complex maze of lines from a fairly simple subject matter in order to make it more realised and intricate. My favourite mediums are biro and pen because they are not conventional drawing implements, so I’m always suprised when I can create something successful with it’.
