News from Cut Copy HQ
Guten Tag,
We hope this message finds you all well.
Dan spent the majority of 2009 re-creating the Blade Runner soundtrack on his recently acquired CS-80 synthesizer. Note for note, arpeggio for arpeggio. Hopefully his interpretation of Vangelis's masterpiece will eventually see the light of day. He has also been busy re-establishing the Cutters Records empire by releasing records and hosting parties, and occasionally rocking a fine Grizzly Adams beard.
Tim is still firmly stuck in the 90's. He interviewed seminal guitar band Pavement for Russh magazine and he recently procured an original piece of Daniel Johnston artwork. It now hangs above his bed.
Mitchell has been spending his days establishing a tennis league for the indie rock community of Melbourne. They even have special t-shirts with their name embroidered on them. He tells me his serve is his biggest asset. Feel free to contact him directly for membership.
Collectively however we have been camped out in a warehouse on the outskirts of Melbourne, finishing writing and recording for album number 3. More on that very soon.
We'll also be leaving Australia to join you for your respective summers playing a handful of festival and club dates, previewing material from the forthcoming record, as well as rocking some old favorites (btw - "veteran act????!! - wtf).
Still chasing that perfect wave,
C//C

Ghost Colours February 27
I haven't had any time to blog this week, but here are some links I hope you will enjoy (with some pretty pictures in between) to make up for it.
-Photographer Paul Barbera took some photos of Melbourne label Alpha 60's workroom. Their Accordion Scarf is one of my favourite items that I own.
-Slutever covers London Fashion Week: "At fashion week everyone is so avant garde and over-it that you can literally stand outside an elite party with your shirt over your head and the words “LFW” and “LOLZ” written across your tits, and still no one will notice you."
-The World Cinema Showcase film festival is on in New Zealand from March, I'm super keen to see Tom Ford's A Single Man. It stars Colin Firth and Julianne Moore and Tony from Skins. The cinematography looks beautiful, as you can see from the screencap above.
-Hobo Gestapo's Carlito took photos at The Gossip's Enmore gig.
-10,000 Melbournians marched down Swanston street to support their local music scene. Mess + Noise wrote about it here.
-Charlotte from bFM's Morning Glory interviewed Jack White recently. Apparently he was very charming. Download the podcast of the interview here.
-Australian model Jess Hart's blog is full of beautiful photographs taken on her travels. I particularly liked the photos from an Old Tram Yard.
-I went to the taping of Media7 and the Ad Show this week, where I was asked to try the Yellow Chocolate on camera. Watch me feeling really uncomfortable and eating the bizarre-tasting chocolate. There's a cute pukeko at the end too!
-There are six different Strawberry Shortcake-inspired covers for the new issue of Lula magazine.
-British Vogue has some coverage of Alexander McQueen's funeral. So very sad.
