The weather today is the same as it has been in days: sun, blue skies and a temperature in the 502s. Wednesday we'll get some much-needed rain, and I'm hoping it will pour. Every morning when I go get the papers, I check out the front garden. It is filling up with the shoots of flowers, and I noticed some of the flowers I planted last year have spread, and in the garden close to the house, some have already bloomed. It is still too early to plant as the evenings get cold, but that will give the flowers [...]
1. When I caught Killing Joke two years ago, Singer Jaz Coleman entered the stage in a stained coverall – like he’d just come from disposing of nuclear waste – and white face makeup that mixed with sweat and drained down his face as the show progressed. A zombie who stalked the stage in a rock-induced trance, he was goddamn scary. The good kind of scary. Today he’s far more conservatively dressed in just a black t-shirt and black jeans, but it’s not the clothing that makes this man. He’s still an imposing figure on [...]
If the adage says "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", our sunny meteo mood would rather prescribe you "a flower a day". After yesterday's "hanami" merrymaking photographs, here is a flower-made gallery, inside the Kawachi Fuji gardens, in Kitakyushu, Japan. Dreamed day idea: if you're hanging around during a Tokyo trip, step by [...]

The sun streaming through the front door is hot. Fern has taken possession of the rug in front of the door and is, as usual, sprawled in the sun. Maddie and Gracie are here on the couch with me. Gracie is having her morning nap. After all, she has been awake for a couple of hours and must be exhausted. Maddie just wants a few pats. All of us have morning rituals. Fern and Gracie sleep on my bed so when I wake up, they jump up and wish me a good morning. Gracie wags her tiny Boxer [...]
Although we love to see André Saraiva, the night-bird painter and longtime friend of Kitsuné, trade mark in the streets, we're even happier to see his tag in paper magazines! Lastly, Cover Man, danish lifestyle magazine for men, chose André as his proper - and manly - cover man. Dressed in his own Maison Kitsuné leather jacket in the Tuileries [...]
Last night was cold, and today is chilly though the sun is warm. I envy Fern who is sprawled on the mat by the front door in the sun. Her fur is hot to the touch. Cats know how to live. My tulips have bloomed. Their bright red is eye-catching. The hyacinths are pink and white and purple and are in the front garden where everyone can see them. My neighbor called and thanked me. She said she looks out her front window often to see how beautiful the colors in the garden are. I only [...]

Delicate strength is a rare and awe inspiring thing. The ability to create such an extraordinary convergence of two seemingly polar opposite qualities is a most precious gift. When two architects of such exquisit creations join forces the resulting union is something truly unprecedented. Laura Mvula is one such singular talent - a voice that inspires and stirs your deepest emotions, while Monsieur Adi is a maestro with the capacity to fully consume you with his mesmerizing sounds. The collision of these two forces is an event of epic proportions. [...]
Monsieur Adi a réalisé il y a quelques jours un nouveau remix pour le récent titre de la britannique Laura Mvula , Green Garden . Une version qui commence tout en douceur, avec ce petit air de soundtrack, puis s'accélère légèrement tout en gardant cette force musicale qui rend si planant ce morceau.
The musically eloquent french producer Monsieur Adi just released a remix of 'Green Garden', the first 2013 single by English soul singer-songwriter Laura Mvula. Her smokey vocals pierce through the organic uplifting orchestra strings and fluid instrumentation. A wonderful remix to relax on a hectic monday.
At the turn of the Tuileries garden, we crossed our lovesome Laure Pascal, graceful and beaming, parading around the chestnuts and palm trees and posing for her childhood friend, Clément Pascal. Half-Parisian, half-Tahitian, Laure Pascal and her outlandish charm, with her adorable freckles, rose lips and tie and dye hair, is a faultless Maison Kitsuné [...]
