Keaton Henson's music has a direct and powerful way of tugging firmly at your heart strings. In his video "Small Hands", he directs a question that I'm sure we've all wonder at one point: is love worth the pain of loss. His choice to use woodland creatures shows that even woodland creatures need love even if they do look like characters from Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Directed by Joseph Mann, he uses a autumnal forest setting with a combination of stop-motion animals that at first look like loving animal couples and slowly with the lyrics of Keaton, thing start to dramatically take a wrong turn. It's weird to think that puppet animals can cause you to shed a tear, well be prepared.

"Small Hands" is taken from Keaton's debut album Dear which will be re-released worldwide on April 2nd following a rush of interest in his music style. You can pre-order the album here.

What an elegant turntable with its precision engineering, designed by AMG (Analog Manufaktur Germany) and their first every "V12" turntable. The AMG turntable line was created by a group of audio industry experts to advance the art of vinyl playback. Here is what they said about the design:

Werner Roeschlau, designer and driving force behind AMG, works with his son and other master machinists at their bespoke multi-story Bavarian factory located north of Munich. All machining is done in house, combining the latest Computer Aided Design and CNC machines with “classic analog” tools including custom lathes and drill presses. Their factory has been manufacturing key, precision parts for some of the world's most highly regarded turntables for over a decade. This expertise in the design and manufacture of turntables led to the AMG line, premiering with the Viella 12. 

Such a beautiful turntable that would be for sure a talking point in my home; not sure of the price but I'm sure that it would be a fast seller.  Find more info about the turntable here

I love seeing double exposures and recently I came across this German photographer Florian Imgrund.  He captured all these images on a 6x6 film camera. I enjoy the fact that he is capturing these images in a non-digital way and finding ways to utilize an old analog idea of capturing images. Check out more of his work on his Flickr.

A friend of mine on Facebook shot this artist over to me and I couldn't help but to do a post about it. Tom Whalen is the creator of these contemporary posters. He has given some of the classic cartoons a new modern feel in this posters series. Even though, Tom has been working on this series for over a year they're currently selling like hot cakes by the Austin-based movie poster publisher Mondo. They can't keep this series in stock. Their basically being sold as soon as they are being made available.  Check out more of  Tom's work.

I haven't done a camera post in a while and this Canon EOS 5D Mark III is worthy.  The Canon EOS 5D Mark III ($3,500) is an all new 22.3 megapixel full-frame sensor that delivers amazing images up to ISO 102,400, and it's augmented by the new DIGIC 5+ processor that does 6 fps shooting and a 61-point AF system.  It also now comes with 1080p video recording, a built-in HDR mode and a beautiful magnesium alloy body with a stainless steel mount. This camera will not only make you look like a pimp but it will make your pictures also look like a pimp.

Here is a packaging concept that carries this packaging to pure pleasure of an object. It presents us with this beautiful packaging for tea and careful reflects attention and extraordinary virtuosity. It was designed by project student Maria Milagros Rodriguez Bouroncle for Louis Gagnon of Paprika Works.

The packaging designed itself is called the "Simply T"; very minimal on the outside but when opened it's an explosion of color where each teabag is a work of art. Personally, I would love this to be an actual product. It would make a great talking piece in the kitchen and it would give the kitchen style.

This Luxury Cruise Ship has 16 modern hotel rooms that allow people to safely and comfortably travel the Amazon river in Peru. It was designed by Peruvian architect Jordi Puig, This custom built floating hotel has an outdoor Jacuzzi, exercise room, lounge and a restaurant. I'm sure it's hot in the Amazon so the boat does have air-conditioned rooms with huge windows that offer a panoramic view of the Amazon rainforest. It will cost you a pretty penny or a couple of them, but this luxury hotel will offer you an eco-friendly experience. Check out the video below for more information.

Young the Giant has such a strange name for a band but in the indie world that is expected. What I didn't expect though was this album to be packed full of great tracks. Their self-debut album has a summer feel to it with it contagious melodies, unending enthusiasm and unique vocals. This album even in its uplifting feel has tracks like "Cough Syrup" which has become a radio favorite; it moves the track into contemplating apathy and misdirection, but it's still catchy. "God Made Man" offers you with a slow soothing start to only end in an amazing emotional end. The sounds of this album to most would seem to be flawless with each track having its own special sound to it; however I will leave that up to your own discretion.
