A real quick entry before I’m out of here to get on with my work (lots of applications due before october 1st, and working full-time the rest of the week, ufff). My best friend dragged me to the Wallis Bird show last night. He is obsessed with her and though I liked her too when [...]

Sometimes songs evoke much more to us than what they are meant to. There is such depth in the human nature, so many layers, so much to discover in each person. I have a friend who is far far away; trying to explain these thoughts to her, I wrote the following: I keep forgetting that in [...]

I met with my super awesome painter and model friend Noémi today, a meeting which was long overdue. In case you wish to know, I used her as a model back in 2003 when I wanted to test my portrait photography skills. She moved to Vienna then and once in a while we go for [...]

I have unlimited trust in jotting down notes and finding them after weeks, remembering what was so important and doing it – a little bit late, but still. So I’ve been promising myself that whenever I was off work and off guest-duty I would drop by “Die Moderne als Ruine” and fall in love with [...]

Last month I went with the boys down to the river; we hung out under the bridge (it was raining a bit), brought paint, brushes, music, a dog, and did a street-art action. It was super fun! Lauri and Vanja both worked on Super Mario-inspired pixel characters, Nikki did a big wall piece, and I [...]

This is my second Yann Arthus-Bertrand post of the day, I guess I will have to stop at some point.. I love the way he speaks, I think he was born to become an activist. I really enjoy watching TEDtalks, sadly I very often don’t give myself any time to. I hope that’s going to [...]

I finally got around to looking through some of the gig photos from my Italy trip. The night we got to Bologna, The Briggs and the Get Up Kids were playing at Estragon, a venue inside the Fair and a 5 minute walk from our camping site. I got to bring my camera in which [...]

I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with a lot of things. Take, for example, Ben Gibbard, avocados, or last.fm. But also the smell of the sea, the Death is not Glamorous drummer and sending letters to strangers. Another thing I am OBSESSED with, and the degree of obsession is such that I would probably watch [...]

The Venice Biennale was also an opportunity for me to meet an old friend I hadn’t seen in something like 5 years. What better setting than one of the biggest and most famous art fairs in the world to discuss street art (which he recently got into) and my tiny steps into the art world? [...]

Now that summer fun has been put behind us and that the blue skies have turned to steel, partner in crime and I have been holding secret meetings about the future of MUSIC+HEARTBEATS. All of this has been kept mysteriously mysterious, but while suspense rises, we’ve opened up a twitter account for all MUSIC+HEARTBEATS insider [...]
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
