INSECT WINGS

I collected a few images of insect wings AGES ago and rediscovered them on my laptop last week. I think they are very beautiful and wanted to share them with you.

DOMINIC JONES: Film featuring ALPINES

Last month we performed at Dominic Jones' presentation at Somerset House for London Fashion Week. We also took part in the above film, which was the backdrop from the fashion show and is now part of his website: www.dominicjonesjewellery.com. Our song 'Cocoon' is the soundtrack.

Some of the other people to feature in the film, are the very talented Florence Welch and Orlando Weeks. We greatly admire both of these artists and it was amazing to meet them in person. We hope you enjoy the film and the beautiful jewellery.

PATTI SMITH: Outside Society

Last month Patti Smith released a new Greatest Hits compilation, which is titled 'Outside Society'.

The 18-song LP spans Smith's entire body of work, from her 1975 debut all the way to her cover of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit in 2007. The special package will also feature brief recollections of each song written by Smith herself.



Smith has released ten studio albums across her career, the latest being 'Twelve' in 2007, which was an album of cover versions of artists including Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and REM.

She has recently released a memoir, which is titled 'Just Kids' and tells of her life in New York with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, which I blogged about in May.

The tracklisting for 'Outside Society' is as follows:

'Gloria'
'Free Money'
'Ain’t It Strange'
