Oslo Museum Tour: Day One
July 30, 2009
On my various two-day trips to the Norwegian Capital, I went to the obvious tourist spots – Munch Museum, Botanic Garden, Vigelandsparken, and the cemetery where Ibsen is buried – but missed out on a lot of galleries and museums, mostly because of me being short of time and low on cash. I had almost [...]
I thought life should be a chance to defeat statistics
July 30, 2009
This is easily one of the best songs ever written. seriously? I mean take a look at the lyrics pls: Why do we make it so hard? Why live our lives in distance? Why do we make it so hard? I thought life should be a chance to defeat statistics. I thought life should be a chance to risk it all.. And now [...]

Since I got back from Oslo/Norway (yesterday, late afternoon) things have pretty much sucked – among various things, there was the Sigh & Explode show at Last Train last night and since the S&E norwegian booking has been quite sucky according to Tobias, they’ve only played very few shows since their debut album came out. [...]
glass shattering (under water)
July 24, 2009
As I’ve already mentioned, I met up with Tobbe from Sigh&Explode last week. He is a sweetheart. Approximately a million years ago, he made me a norwegian hardcore/indie mixtape and got me into bands like Rumble in Rhodos, Hiawata!, Snöras and Evergary (which is, by the way, the other band he plays in). Funnily enough, [...]
One Giant Leap for Mankind
July 20, 2009
Everybody’s been talking about it today, obviously. The Apollo 11 landing on the moon turns 40 years old! Let’s celebrate with a little playlist – songs will be up as soon as I’m back home safely from Norway. Air: Le Voyage de Pénélope Asobi Seksu: Walk on the Moon Her Space Holiday: The Astronauts are Sleeping (Exit) The Age [...]

July 20, 2009
It’s 4AM and with a few wild days behind me, I can say that it’s been long and good and I really don’t want to leave. Currently in Eirik’s empty livingroom; he drove back to Flisa this afternoon and Uno just went to bed so it’s just me and a bunch of things on my [...]
Oslo is a small small town
July 12, 2009
As Sjur Lyseid sings, “Oslo is a small small town”. Yes, because on my first day, I bumped into Annette (she directed the Wintermare video) on her way to the train station. A few hours later at a party, I meet Veronica, a girl wearing 50’s glampunk pin-up clothes and make-up. We got talking about [...]

a non-music and non-art related entry, I’m absolutely drowning in excitement (and piles of clothes which is very unlike me). Here’s a list of very good things I am looking forward to in Norway! Watching Back to the Future sprawled on someone’s floor The Oslo Opera House Really good conversations with Eirik’s dad Going to the woods being girly and [...]
Fashion Exhibition
July 4, 2009
A few days ago I went to the show opening of the graduating class from the Fashion School Hetzendorf. Some of the projects were really quite interesting and had a nice, innovative approach to textiles and new technologies. Here are some photos! I would look ridiculous in that pink and brown hooded top, but it’s adorable The whole [...]
Hello!
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
