What We're Listening To....

2011-03-28T13:26:00.000-04:00

James Blake

The evasive search for something new in pop music is eternal and usually unfulfilled( If you want proof click here). But under the mushroom-cloud of hype surrounding this young Londoner -- voted a close number 2 in BBC's Sound of 2011 poll, so-called wunderkind, saviour of pop, "mystery wrapped inside an enigma, wrapped inside a giant metaphysical Kinder Egg of befuddlement," and lowly upstart pub singer playing with dub-step -- lies a legitimately good album. While throbbing dub-step base isn't necessarily new, his tastefully minimal approach to splicing his (sorry James, but the reference is somewhat fair) "pubby" vocals with soulful blobs of piano, sparse beats and pregnant silences, is.

The use of silence in a pop song outside the typical 2-beat-pause-right-before-the-key-change-chorus-right-after-the-minor-bridge mantra is what's particularly attention-grabbing here, along with the refreshing dissection of the layers of a pop song, alternating skeletal drum sections with atom-sized vocal loops, with nary an appearance of the essential drone of the drum-bass-guitar-synth-BGV's pop rhythm section. Blake's classical training in music and his talent for production really make a listen worthwhile, even if the hype is a little overblown. Oh, and probably the best use of Vocoder since Zapp.

Hats Off To....

2011-03-21T16:20:00.001-04:00

With the sun finally coming out it's time to think about sun protection - and the most fashionable way to do it! Vogue.com reported a "Hat Attack" on the runways in Paris Fashion Week.

Some of the biggest trends in hats this season are the floppy felt hat, the "pork pie" hat, the bowler, straw hats and stiff brimmed felt hats - all with a very vintage vibe. A big emphasis on 1940's style and western/equestrian means hats are definitely the way to go!

Here's a few examples of what designers are doing with hats this season:

Hérmes

Galliano

DSquared

Hérmes

Sonya Rykiel

Dior

Prada

Ralph Lauren

Marc Jacobs

Hérmes

Moschino

Givenchy

Badgley Mischka

John Galliano
