1, 2, 3, Tea!

Flowertea, like miss Marie Antoinette had it in the movie. A green tea that comes in many colorful variations.

Art of the Grid - the will to systematize, to clarify

Is this the new moleskine? The grid-it notepads. The notepads are based on the grids in some of the greatest magazines ever created. If anyone knows where to hunt down these paper-beauties somewhere in sweden I would be forever thankful for a comment.

"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." - ANTOINE DE ST.EXUPERY

"Beauty will result from the form and the correspondence of the whole, with respect to the several parts, of the parts with regard to each other, and of these again to the whole; that the structure may appear
an entire and complete body, wherein each member agrees with the other, and all necessary to compose what you intend to form." - ANDREA PALLADIO

Erik Satie

Alfred Éric Leslie Satie (Honfleur, 17 May 1866 – Paris, 1 July 1925) was a french composer and pianist. He started calling himself Erik Satie when he made his first composition in 1884. He never got the recognition he deserved in his lifetime but he was well acquainted with artists such as picasso, marcel duchamp, man ray, the dadaists etc and was a part of the avant garde at the time. His songtitles include many peculiar lines like "dried up embryos" (translated) and he made "furniture music" which was music to be played in the backdrop of an interior setting and used like any piece of furniture. Satie was also in many ways an eccentric who filled his filing cabinet with imaginairy buildings made out of metal, collected umbrellas and started his very own church with himself as an only member among other things. This doesn't mean he didn't have a sense of humour though as he was often described as a witty person. His music are used on many filmscores (The Marathonman, Badlands, The Royal Tenembaums etc). Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Francis Poulenc, Blood Sweat and Tears & Frank Zappa amongst others have all been influented by his music.

Tomorrow's calling
Marianne Faithful

Tomorrow's calling with promises new
I hear the echo of yesterday's blue.
Silver patterns of porcelain rose
Cobwebs of filley green.
Where I get them from nobody knows,
No one but you can see.
All the treasures of time will be there,
Take them away, they're free.
The finest thing is a love that we'll share
If you will follow me.
If I were foolish I'd promise the sky.
But I must not let my hopes run too high.
And I wonder when all's said and done
What will the future be ?
All I know is that you are the one
If you will follow me.
If you will follow me.
If you will follow me.
And I wonder when all is said and done
What will the future be ?
All I know is that you are the one
If you will follow me,
If you will follow me,
If you will follow me.
Tomorrow's calling with promises new
I hear the echo of yesterday's blue.
I hear the echo of yesterday's blue.
I hear the echo of yesterday's blue.
