Peanuts: Hey Ya

This video of Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang dancing to Hey Ya makes us really happy! I actually tweeted it a few days ago, but I wanted to make sure everyone got a chance to see it :) It's 4 minutes and 7 seconds of sheer gold!
This week actually marks 10 years since Hey Ya was released! Can you believe it? It's still on our playlist and defo one of our favourite tunes - a true modern classic :)
Enjoy!

I LOVE IT : Postino Music Video

Postino - I Love It (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) from Will Kindrick on Vimeo.

Secretly, this is me! Hahaha! A fun little video for you today by Postino (watch out, it's repetitive, catchy and will get stuck in your head!) Gotta love those costumes... If anyone out there wants to make me one, I'll totally star in a music video for you :D Happy Friday! Enjoy xx

Jersey Boys on Broadway!

Aww, and so our holiday must come to an end :( But as we're in New York, I figured it would be best for the trip to end with a bang! Our last hurrah will be spent dressed to the nines and taking in a  Broadway show :) Having spent much of our time indulging in all things kitsch, quirky and vintage, we've decided to stick with the theme... it's a great theme after all! So for one last night we're kicking it old school and indulging in a vintage style show.

Jersey Boys is all about the success story of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, following their rags to rock to riches tale of four 'blue collar' kids working their way from the streets of Newark to the heights of stardom...

Big Girls Don't Cry is one of my favorite songs from the 60s - you can't listen to it and not want to shimmy! So, grab you're fellas and get your dancing shoes on; here's Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons to sing us out...

We've had a lot of fun on our travels and cant wait to share our photos and inspiration when we get back! We hope you've not missed us too much... nah! 

So, Farewell USA & looking forward to seeing you soon lovelies :D

this is a scheduled post

Word(less) Wednesday: Leeds Festival!

Foo Fighters

This week we have an extra special photo post for you with a few photos from our adventure at Leeds Music Festival! We saw hundreds of bands, have over a hundred photos, ate loads of junk food and got covered in mud - exactly what you want from a rock festival! 

Foo Fighters

Our highlight was (of course) rocking out to my favorite band the Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl made out with a blow up doll and tanked a bottle of beer before the encore. Never fails to please!! They even showered the audience with Foo Fighter dollar bill confetti - so cool!  I'm trying to get my hands on one of these notes for my wall so if anyone has one I will swap you one of our A4 prints for it. Drop me an email and spread the word :D

Still clean here! Haha

Inside the Jager ice bar. This was the coolest place to drink; being full of ice blocks and in a giant refrigerated unit, you can't argue that it wasn't! You even got goodies if you made it in - jager bandanas, binoculars and I even saw a few jager ponchos. Perhaps the only way to make a plastic poncho rock n roll!

The Hives

We had a total blast at The Hives gig - they came on in top hats and tails, sang the awesome anthem Hate To Say I Told You So, and even did a freeze frame pose for this shot! The last time they played here was 8 years ago, but you would never have guessed as they were one of the best live acts :) Looking forward to hearing more from them now they're back!!

The Big Tent*

The Wrecked Wellies*

*wouldn't be a festival without either!

The Cure

Hooray for The Cure! After an epic set of 31 songs (31!!!!!) We finally got to hear Love Cats in the flesh :D I am one happy lady! Needless to say, I did dance about in a cat like manner, which you can only really do at a festival where people have dressed up as variety packs of cereal (no joke!) On that note, there was also a Mighty Mouse, and a girl dressed as Where's Wally... You have to love that kind of effort! 

We could not see Vivid HQ from here!

Florence & The Machine

Ahhhhhhhhhhh Florence! What a great stage set, right? I have to admit I was a little disappointed by this gig as they didn't play that many of their big songs. We've seen them before at a smaller venue and Florence blew our socks off, so I guess I was spoiled by the intimacy. Don't get me wrong, they were still great, just not great enough for my expectations!

Home time!
I don't know what it is about the end of a festival, but you get the most amazing calm feeling on the way home. After all the excitement over the past few days, it's nice to finally sit down in a real seat. Looking forward to our next big adventure already!

We'd love to see everyone else's photos from the festival so be sure to post your links below :D

And remember to get in touch if you have any of those Foo Fighters dollars - you will make my day!

Happy Bathtime Everyone!

Off To Leeds Music Festival!

It's here.
We've done our packing.
We've organised our travel.
We've even updated our shop status so everyone knows their purchases will be sent out on Tuesday the 28th of August.
That means one thing; the time has come for us to go camp in a field and listen to some of our favorite bands! LEEDS FESTIVAL HERE WE COME!

As we're heading off to rock out and get mucky, I thought I would leave you with 3 songs we'll be singing along to...

If you sing loud enough we may even be able to hear you :D

The Foo Fighters, The Cure and Florence & The Machine... it's going to be AWESOME!

Enjoy the videos and we hope you have a great weekend too! 

See you on Monday :D

xox

Bring on summer!

Alexandra Burke!

Singer Alexandra Burke is now the new owner of Vivid stationery!

*Snap up here*

We were given the opportunity to give out sets of our stationery to a couple of stars who are going on the ITV programme That Sunday Night Show and we are delighted to share that Alexandra is the first of our recipiants!

We love Alexandra's Bad Boys pop track and are super excited by the concept of her sending our retro cards to one of her hot boys! Pretty awesome, right?

Be sure to tune in to the show this Sunday at 10pm where she will be on with comedians Kevin Bridges and Frank Skinner...what a great line up :)

We will update you with who the second lucky celeb is next week...

In the meantime, you can grab your very own set here. Get 'em before they're gone!

Trailer Sound City Documentary By Dave Grohl

Check out this teaser for Dave Grohl's documentary on Sound City Studios. Ouch it's cool! As you can see by the absurd amount of rock n roll stars in the clip, Sound City is one hell of a place. More timeless and inspirational albums were created there than we've had hot dinners!

Talking to Rolling Stone about the project, Grohl said:

"I decided to make a film about that feeling when you put five guys in a room, hit 'record' and the hair on the back of your neck stands up.. Expect some epic jam sessions."

Who doesn't want to see that?!

We can't wait to see what went on behind this studio's doors. With so many icons talking about their inspiration we are certain this is going to be gold!

Keep your eye out on this film's release - it is going to blow your socks off.

Rock Stars With Their Parents

Thats Elton John at home with his folks!

And Eric Clapton with his ma!

... And the Jackson 5 with their parental units!!

We thought we would share these cracking images from Life Magazine as we think they are just incredible. We love to neb at people's living spaces so getting a glimpse at these famous musicians at home with their mums and dads is right up our street. Adding that these are 70's chique and you pretty much have a best seller on your hands!

This picture of Frank Zappa is simply the best picture we have seen this year. We love that his outfit matches the decor!

Taken by John Olsen, these images are now making a comeback appearance in Life, and it is about time too. We think you can learn a lot from looking backwards, especially if you are re-decorating ;) It's also nice to see that these superstars are just like us too though. Nagging mums and all!

So next time you are dreaming of bigger things that you think your incapable of, look back at these pictures. Everyone has to start somewhere. We're starting from here :)

Bad Reputation.

Lets start the year with a bang!

What better way than cranking up the radio and rocking out?

For your enjoyment, here are the Foo Fighters with our secret crush Joan Jett preforming Bad Reputation on Letterman. Get your hairbrushes and your mirror at the ready for this track :)

2012 is going to be awesome.
