I’ve FINALLY managed to add photos of the everton show to this post, and photos to the islands show post too. go look! I can also feel that I might get addicted to blip.fm soon (since [...]

I used to be a pretty eager fan of the Unicorns. Even though they were absolutely unknown here, even though it took me two months to track down Who will cut our hair when we’re gone? on amazon and another two months to actually get it in my mailbox, even though they then broke up [...]

My fellow froggy friend (check out that alliteration, yo!) Uno Christiansen (from Wintermare) has started to put together a series of EPs under the moniker Uno Møller Ch. Quiet and fragile songs, using the instruments that are around. Hanne Bjugstad and Anette Ruud Andersen are in the small team of very talented and motivated people [...]

I’m very very very excited about seeing Emiliana Torrini tomorrow night at Szene. The first song I ever heard by her was To be Free, which was on a compilation album featuring among others Massive Attack and Craig Armstrong. I found her voice so beautiful and reminiscent of Björk, that soon after hearing that song [...]

I’m not very familiar with the music yet, but from what I’ve heard so far, Skydive stays within the comfort zone of Wintermare, with similar rock elements, [...]

In December I was for a few days in a small village in Northern Italy, where I collected a lot of material for a project I was working on. Finally managed to put together a small video. I am still experimenting, and there are a lot of ideas running through my head, but here’s what [...]
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 am 1/4 (the smallest one, actually) of Lazy Acre Records; I also write & photograph for a local magazine based in Englaaand 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.
I tend to be quite the busy bee, but if you make VERY sexy music and want me to listen and enjoy and possibly even (!!) write about it, shoot me a mail, baby. music(at)alicetragedy(dot)org
