I’ve heard some terrible news today, and I’m not quite sure whether this is the right place to write about it. I’ve managed somewhat well keeping this blog for semi-important music and art and book news and posts, but I feel that which I’m about to share with every reader is important to many and [...]

I know I said I would be offline for a few days – I lied. The hotel here seems to have internet (the first time it happened in the 18-or-something years I’ve been coming here!) and it’s perfect for the moments I get tired of reading – though I’ve embarked three books in three different [...]

yes, even the good and loud and busy and constantly-on-the-run people go on holiday. I am off to a snowy place for ten days of good food, early nights, lots of skiing, and no internet. I felt like I needed to throw in a couple of updates before my trip (though I really should be [...]

As Sjur Lyseid mentioned in an interview we did with him at the end of last year, Monzano are back with a new album. And a wonderful one at that, with an intricate and ironic title I liked as soon as I first heard it. If you are familiar with Monzano’s earlier works and with [...]

I have hardly had a minute to myself these days. I know I am constantly complaining to everyone about my lack of sleep, high coffee consumption, and lately even a lack of social life unless my friends are also working on projects with me. The truth is, most of the time, I like the hectic [...]

I found out yesterday that, sadly, Blakfish have broken up. I went to see them last year (in fact it was almost a whole year ago, time goes by way too fast..), it was my backup gig since I had not managed to get tickets to the Give it a Name festival on time. I [...]

If you never liked (fairy)tales, you’ll be surprised at your change of heart and will want to grab the book of tales nearest to you after sitting for an hour surrounded by Paper Bird’s music. I find myself most particularly thinking of Hans Christian Andersen’s stories. How could one not see the connection with the [...]

Tell me a bit about your background first. Where did you grow up? Are there any musicians in your family? I was born in 1982, on a wednesday. April 7th. I was born in Lisbon… And I always lived near here… First in a small house in the suburbs and nowadays I live in the center… My [...]

I once played this song by the Microphones to someone – it was back in the day where music meant something and secret messages to the people you cared for were hidden in songs, or was I the only one who used it as a means of communication? – and he said that it was [...]
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
