This means Mat Brooke love! #3: secret plans with Sweet, Sweet Moon #4: Happy Coffin Nation (the [...]

I don’t know why I’m so much into it today. This one song by Lightspeed Champion really, really makes me think of Bloc Party – and, more particularly of Ion Square. Maybe the slightly upbeat feel to it, mixed with a similar voice. Anyway, it’s totally lovely. and catchy. And then when the female voice [...]

So earlier today yesterday I got a really nice email from the guys over at Lazy Acre Records. It was mainly to say thanks for writing about Sjur Lyseid (who, I remind you in case you’d forgotten, I am absolutely in love with) here. I really love it when people take the time to do [...]

[useless post] This is unbearable, I’ve been listening to this EP non-stop the past month. no good. or yes, good? I think it’s funny that there’s the guys in the background completely unbothered by the music. [/useless post]

How many times have I declared to anyone who’d listen my absolute and unconditional love for Jeff Buckley? I remember writing a letter to his mother, Mary Guibert, when I was 13, in my grammatically-incorrect English, as if I was the only fan of his in the world… I remember the first time I heard [...]

While in Paris last week, I dropped by the Centre Pompidou to take a look at some art. The Center is quite big and relatively new so I’d never been there before. I already knew half of the pieces exhibited in the permanent collection, either because I’d seen them in some of my classes (that’s [...]

I’m doing the most boring thing in the world this weekend, which is to sort out through more and more papers, supplies, cloth, old clothes, books, to decide what to get rid of. Maybe someday, in a very distant future, I will be very minimalistic and stop collecting lots of junk. At least the music is [...]

So I am back from the wonderful city I’ve learned to appreciate last year (mainly because of someone, but you know, it would still be beautiful, even without him) and I’ve seen and done and thought so much. the flight back was a pain, partly because I didn’t get to see everything and everyone I [...]
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
