1. Dos Family In my deepest, darkest fantasy, I have a little family and we all speak Swedish and dress well and adorn our home in crafts, and we live happily ever between our Stockholm apartment and country cottage. This, I don't mind living through the Dos Family.
4. Poppytalk Lots of time on your hands? Got plenty of education and no job? Perfect! Indie girls who love crafts, glasses, Dirty Projectors, Williamsburg, and fancy cocktails and sewing kits will drool here. (I know, I know. I can't help it. I eat it all up.)
7.Mixed Plate More pretty design and nice little companies.
8.Sandra Juto I went to Gothenburg with my dear friend Danielle in 2007, and we were enchanted by the fairy-talkin' Swedish ladies. This blog comes from this town and the pretty perfect work of Sandra Juto.

1.Reading Ace Hotel's new blog. Hosting a symposium on 'Reassessing the Organic Tradition in American Architecture' in Palm Springs? Yes please.
3.Interested in the people behind the publishing. Like the Taschen's, who are living (it up) now, see Food & Wine's profile of their recent dinner party-- in contrast to the Phaidon's (Phaidon was started in 1923 by Dr Bela Horowiz and Ludwig Goldscheider, with the objective of delivering high-quality books at affordable prices.)
6.Cause it's sleepy and thoughtful and lovey, listening to Cameron McGill & What Army. Here, on Daytrotter.
7. If you need some GREAT music, see TuNe-yArDs. Saw Merrill Garbus when she played with Sister Suvi,accompanying Thao and The Get Down Stay Down back in 2009. Hot stuff.
"tUnE-yArDs is the singular musical project of New England native Merrill Garbus. Possessing an expansive sound that marries a coarse folk ingenuity with the bold pop sensibility of an R&B siren, BiRd-BrAiNs was assembled with a staunch DIY aesthetic.
Recording herself using a digital voice recorder and assembled using shareware mixing software, she was described by Stereogum as “a self-contained Sublime Frequencies compilation, jumping between blues, African tunes, shiny reggae-esque sprawls, and lo-fi folk”, infusing the worldly sonic palette of M.I.A. or post-punk pioneers The Raincoats. " This is how 4AD, (the label that brings people like me Anni Rossi, Blonde Redhead, Bon Iver, Camera Obscura, Deerhunter, Department Of Eagles, Efterklang, Gang Gang Dance, M Ward, Serena-Maneesh, St. Vincent, and The Big Pink, The National, and TV On The Radio) explains it best.
