It’s unbelievable to think that summer is almost over. I’ve been dreading this and especially having to go back to my uni, where I’m starting to feel very disconnected, confused and lost. Wondering if that is in fact what I really want to do: constantly having to struggle with non-constructive criticism from apathetic conceptual artists [...]

Yeah, I haven’t been raving about the Whitest Boy Alive yet and how I was so excited to see Erlend Øye again, because he’s a little bit funny, a little bit uncool, and as if that wasn’t enough, he’s also an extremely interesting dancer. After Ese stalked him at the Kings of Convenience show, our [...]

Dead Leg Press have a Death is not Glamorous interview up. It’s funny, as I read it the first time I could so imagine Christian sitting there and talking 500 miles an hour. I haven’t talked to them about Soft Clicks at all, but I remember telling him I didn’t like it because, huh, is [...]

Grand Archives have a song from their new album Keep In Mind Frankenstein – to be released on SubPop on September 15th – up for free download on Spin! the best thing about it is that it’s called Oslo Novelist. I think that is sort of the coolest thing ever. ♫ Grand Archives: Oslo Novelist ♫

I think I’ve already mentioned SayBella in this blog, though I don’t quite remember how I discovered her – many moons ago, it must have been 2005 or 2006. Anyway, out of the blue she now suddenly has information on her last.fm page! I think that’s wonderful. And what’s even more wonderful is that her [...]

I came across this a few weeks ago. How very lovely, I say. If you are into photography and participating in these global projects, I recommend you take a look at their website. It reminds me a bit of the 1000 journals project. (I wonder if that still exists, actually..) I think I might make [...]

yes, since there’s been talk of polaroid film being discontinued and hence disappearing off the face of the Earth, kids around the world have been dishing out their old, dusty cameras and shooting, shooting, shooting away. My friend and partner in crime Niko has done so too, and started a project: the Polatweet Project. You [...]
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
