The guys at LegoLand California built this historic scene: Barack Obama taking the Presidential oath of office on the steps of the Capitol in Miniland U.S.A.  President Obama, his wife Michelle, and daughters Sasha & Malia, along with Vice President-elect Joseph Biden are replicated as mini-figures crafted of LEGO bricks.

Laura Marling : New Romantic

So I’ve been in one of my melancholic moods lately. From the depths of my morose, I bring you the lovely Laura Marling, a much needed alternative to our beloved Feist. A bit younger, a bit quirkier, and a bit more rough around the edges. I recommend you watch her videos on youtube, she is irresistably adoreable. And for her refreshingly raw music, I wrote her this short letter:

Dear Angel Face,

Thank you. Your music bleeds of truth and vulnerability with a surprising sweetness. I spin your record, sip my tea, and I am happy.

Sincerely,
Danielle

This song has plenty of remixes as well that you can check out on their myspace page. Whatever your feelings were about their first album will most likely transcend into their second album, “Donkey”, since it stays pretty true to their first delivery.
