PaperMarket

New scrapbooking store in Raffles City basement: PaperMarket!
It's the biggest scrapbooking store I've seen around so far! And everything is so inviting, it's hard to leave empty handed. All scrapbooking stores are very enticing, but somehow this is MORE, you know? Pricy though, so I only bought one thing. But believe me, you just want to bring the whole store home *drools*
I bought the most usable thing for me - pretty masking tape! And I'm such a sucker for packaging, this is in a ziplock bag!! Just like food from Muji. Which I know, seems silly for paper tape. But now your tape will never get dusty!
So pretty~!

Muse + Adam Lambert = YES!!

My favourite Jewish boy is back with a stripped-down version of Muse's Starlight. He's got the Elvis-do, the black nail polish, the eyeliner, the Eye of Ra tattoo, the sexy black boots, the sexy black tights...totally rockin' it (except for a few pitchy errors at the beginning of the song).

Muse - United States of Eurasia

This is the leaked single from Muse's latest album (out in September!) There's some glaringly obvious Queen-influences, especially with the whole rock "orchestral" thing. But i thought the random classical piano rendition of Chopin was an interesting touch, and the mysterious middle-eastern flavoured melodic interludes.

Youtube comment:"people arent understanding this song. this is supposed to show the influences from all over the world. queen is obviously the influence from the USA, chopin is the influence from europe, plus you can hear the influence from the middle east, and finally the chanting at the end is an influence from russia. it was a genius idea of muse to show all of the influence from all over the world. awesome job muse!"

Makes sense! LOL!

Threadcakes

This is the most clever contest that I've come across on the internet in a while! Threadcakes, is an online cake-baking contest where contestants bake cakes as inspired by Threadless t-shirt designs!! It's such a delight to look at the cakes and think, "OH YEA! I recognise that shirt!!"

There are no cakes of the Threadless tees that I actually own though!
