My brother just doodled a kickass furby and now I'm pining for my very own. My older brother and sister each had one back in the nineties. But not me. They both had a fully sized, mechanical, incoherent english speaking ball of fun. All I had was a half sized furby plush with a chipped beak. I loved it very much of course, but it just wasn't the same. They had the real thing and I had second best. They had Coca-Cola and I had pepsi. The jealousy consumed me. So, obviously, a resolution for 2010- obtain a Furby, a proper Furby, at some point over the course of the decade.
I know that it isn't something to rush into. I don't want it to end up forgotten and unloved like my siblings' furbies, festering away in a dusty cupboard. So I've assessed carefully all the various kinds of furbies (who knew there were so many?), and have decided to get a Mink furby (bottom right). It shall be called Tenenbaum.
In an earlier post, I included some Bon Iver visual art. I took this from a collection by hypemachine, where the 50 most blogged musical artists of 2009 were celebrated with some gorgeous visual art. I love stuff like this. Here are my favourites.
Sufjan Stevens by Patrick Moberg
Camera Obscura by Chris Govias
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart by Khoi Vinh
Lykke Li by Nitzan Ron
Au Revoir Simone by Emery Norton
Radiohead by Jordan Rutherland
Fanfarlo by Calvin Muse
TV on the Radio by Andrea Foht
Andrew Bird by Ben LovoskyThis one is my favourite, but the Bon Iver one is a close second.
Wilco by Sergio Serrano
