Lohan/I'm from Barcelona/Coraline

Lindsay Lohan



Cute, freckly, hugely affected and bound for better things once the Disney contract ends.


I'm from Barcelona


Liars! They are a collective from Sweden and this song is the kind you'd want to sing if they held morning assembles in your office.

Coraline - Neil Gaiman



A childrens book (you'll notice a recurring theme with kids books on this blog, I can't help it, they are generally far superior to the majority of allegedly 'grown up' fiction) Coraline is a girl who finds another mother with buttons for eyes behind a walled up door, some say it's like a modern day and slightly more disturbing Alice in Wonderland, but that doesn't really give it proper credit. It's a short but incredibly complete work of modern gothic fiction, dark, creative and utterly absorbing.
Stephin Merritt (he of The Magnetic Fields) is currently working on a musical adaptation of Coraline which will be premiering in New York fall 2006.
