Last night I met the lead singer of Ginger Ninja and we did a spontaneous mini-interview for one of my new secret projects, in a crowded bar. It was fun and really quite lovely. As soon as I get a few things sorted out, his words along with some other surprises will be published here… [...]

I used to listen to music all the time while working – sometimes even while I wrote. After a while though, I realised that it slows down my productivity and concentration at times. In the last month or so, I’ve grown accustomed to having at least two pairs of earplugs on me at all times [...]

I’m growing to really, really enjoy writing in #hashtags (geeky, I know). #busydays is one of my favorite twitter hash tags lately. because it’s short and reflects exactly what my days are / will be like. I started an (email)interview with Brad Hamers, will do an interview with french band Ex Nihilo Vox, went to some [...]

We’re on fire with Norwegian musicians, these days! Marius Drogsås Hagen (Team Me, Jaqueline, SiN) gave me a bit of his time to answer some questions about seasons, Sufjan Stevens, and to play a nice word-association game. Read below! Happy New Year! It started super well for you – you got to play at the final [...]

the much-adored Team Me have a new song up on their myspace since the weekend. It’s pretty ace, there’s lots of choir-like singing, and some “whoo”-ing in the background. (it was, in fact, recorded this summer when I was over there during a pretty awesome recording session in a hijacked school.) Go listen, go love, [...]

I’ve already advertised Niko’s Polatweet Project before; I feel like I have to do it again, since he’s been lovely enough to ask me to have my picture taken under the snow.. The result is gorgeous, considering I am most definitely NOT photogenic. You can see the rest of the photos here. Share/Save
My name has five letters in it, and comes up in some Bright Eyes songs. I am (apparently) an artist, with too much time on her hands. Well, enough to blog (almost) daily. I also write for a local magazine and make used to draw musically-inspired comics for a canadian mag (RIP Inscribed). Sometimes I can be quite cute. I used to still have a crush on Marty McFly; I like baking, overusing semi-colons, the smell of the sea, and thunderstorms.
