{monthly mixtape} may

may mix tape We've been all over the place this past month so for May's soundtrack I'm going international and indulging in a bit (or a lot) of wanderlust.  I don't understand most of the words in the non-English songs but that's precisely the beauty of music: it doesn't matter. If you have any fave international beats to share, please do. I'm always excited about new discoveries!

{worth watching} french lesson as eye candy

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_QO8LoGNpc&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3] I first came across this video via Black*Eiffel and instantly fell in love! What a beautiful and entertaining way to get a feel for Paris and the French language. I barely know a few words but this teaser has certainly made me excited to learn more....Paris is only a two hour train ride from London, after all!

As a side note, I love love love all of the different fonts used throughout the piece. I wish I were a cool typography nerd who knew all of the font names but I'll have to content to being an admirer for now.
