J’adore Dior. John Galliano immersed us this time (on March 5th, to be exact) in pure pleasure for the senses. His leathers, furs and transparencies portray an old-fashioned English countryside mixed with beautifully tailored elements in this ready-to-wear collection. The colors are evidently fall-oriented with browns, olive greens and some elements of black, and elongated boots in dark, wine colors or calf-boots in black. Overall, he manages to communicate the message very effectively and cohesively in this collection. It does not miss a single step, even when he goes from ensembles to full dresses that still have the same vaporous air of his last collection. As usual, he presents his models in an environment that ends up being irrelevant because his designs overwhelm the audience. We can’t help but drift away in his incredible cuts.

It’s clear right off the bat that Lil Wayne is not only deluding himself from everyday reality but also from what constitutes rock ‘n roll, at least in this day and age. From the hilariously ’80s, Guitar Hero-esque solo intro of opener “American Star” to the obscenely grating breakup anthem “The Price Is Wrong,” everything here points to Rebirth as a colossal fuckup of the highest order, a misjudgment of talent and ideas that any label exec not blinded by Tha Carter III’s huge sales should have vetoed within seconds. Listening to the entire twelve tracks, it’s impossible to see just how Wayne okayed this; then again, this is the same man who declared that, if he was President, he would “make prostitution legal in about five more states [and] put cocaine back in Coca-Cola,” among many other revolutionary changes.

Up and coming jazz singer Nikki Yanofsky has a talent you wouldn’t expect from a 15-year-old girl. Although her voice and her ability as a performer seem to be beyond her years, she says she knows exactly what she’s doing. “When I started out, I used to pretend that I was in a play trying to really emote as best as I could. But now that I’m 15, almost 16, I have been in love and also had my heart broken,” Yanofsky explains, giving her a deeper understanding of the songs of her idols. However, Yanofsky not only looks up to soulful singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Etta James and Aretha Franklin, but she’s also set to follow in their footsteps.

Listening to another Spoon album is like slipping on an old, beloved coat (or sandals, if you’re like me and would never spend more than two hours above the Mason-Dixon line). It might have been a while, but everything just seems so right; the fit is snug, the feel is comfortable, and the sense of becoming reacquainted with a long-lost friend is undeniable. It’s been like this for a while with Spoon, to the point that it wouldn’t be surprising if they just kept making the same record over and over again. It speaks to their creativity and Britt Daniels’ general inability to sit still that this has never been the case - from the definition of their sound in 2001’s Girls Can Tell to exquisitely sleek, fat-free album that was 07’s Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, Daniels and the band have used each new record as an opportunity to refine their sound. The turn of the decade finds them sharpening the Spoon aesthetic to yet another fine edge, sanding off some of the worldly influences and focused songwriting on Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga to make an album wholly different in tone and mood, but one that is, at its heart, thoroughly Spoon.
