my friend wesley made this video for a school project. i was told to throw on some casual wear, which to me translates as sequined pants. despite the fact that it was cold and i was hungry, i think it turned out quite well. after a good few years of collecting virtual dust, wes is also going to be relaunching doubleyouwhy; im excited! this is a snippet of what we rewarded ourselves with afterwards :

im on the lookout for some trousers that tickle my fancy! as per usual, ankle skimming is a must in my books. thats my way of casually reminding people ‘im a nerd, but YOU CAN TRUST ME.. sortof’. borrowing these two photos from nam of streetfsn.

jarco weiss, who is actually a longtime goldzmine reader, sent me the first music video from his brand spanking new band, marie madeleine. the trio describes their sound as disco wave; like if ian curtis and donna summer went on a date in palm springs. weiss is on vocals, greg wagenheim on bass, synth by herr 2003 and pauline grethen (not the gal in the video) is featured singing the hypnotic chorus. marie madeleine just put out their ep and plans (fingers crossed) on touring through europe, asia and north america during the next year or so. i quite like this sound; the epic zeus-like vocals mixed in with the flirty girly “sinking, sinking, dying, diving” is buckets of fun.
