The closest they will be to Vienna is Munich, and I’m very set on going. There just isn’t any other alternative. 2; new and old releasesMy mailbox, heart and ears were filled with [...]

I know, my schedule is a bit messed up, and I haven’t really found the time to or thought about posting my favorite video this week.. My pick for the week is Fireflies; as you might know, I like Chris Garneau very much. I’ve seen him live three times, in three different countries (Norway, Austria, France) [...]

I feel like a little bit like a fool, with all this Angus & Julia Stone obsession that has been there for 6 months and won’t go away. Also, tonight they are playing a free gig in Camden and my heart is in so much pain that I can’t be there, I am almost dying. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Matthias Frey, in the music world known as Sweet, Sweet Moon, doesn’t make you dance. He doesn’t make you nod in rhythm or tap your feet. He will make you stand immobile, maybe pull a half-smile as he kicks off his shoes on stage and grabs his guitar nonchalantly, but that is all. And somewhere [...]

El Radio, the new album by Chris Garneau coming out July 7th, is pure wonderfulness. My first impression of it was, “whoa, what are all these instruments doing here? Where’s the lo-fi, bedroom-recording sadness?” Compared to its predecessor Music for Tourists, El Radio is much more layered, more complex and less immediate. Like cracking open a [...]

I meant to have this up earlier, but I was writing a text about my work (see previous post) instead. So. You can now stream the new Chris Garneau album El Radio here. Listen to it, because it’s quite wonderful. Also, Les Lucioles en re mineur is actually, believe it or not, an instrumental version [...]

…and records a cover version of Suffer Little Children. yippie! ♫ Chris Garneau: Suffer Little Children (Smiths cover) ♫ (brought to you by the music slut)
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
