Well, here we are. August is just around the corner, and today the 30 day song challenge is ending. A little sad, because it was giving me an excuse to blog (almost) every day (also known as: procrastinate). But who knows, maybe I’ll find another song-related blogging challenge to waste my days.. At this time [...]

So, a little wrap-up of the last couple of weeks seems necessary, as I have been blogging YES, but less than usual and more sporadically. But fear not, all this time I’ve been in good company – first off with Walter Schreifels, Across the Delta, and some new discoveries. Then with Angus & Julia Stone [...]

With an approaching January 1st, the bloggers of the world are all busy making lists of the best records of the year, best records of the decade, best gigs of 2009.. having just gotten back from a semi-holiday (it was mostly visiting family and emptying an apartment, with lots of reading in between) I have [...]

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 Death Is Not Glamorous guys are starting to think that being in an amazing band, touring twice a year, recording great albums, and being super-friendly to everyone is just wayyy too easy. So why not have more? And here they are – Bouvet and PROBLEMS, two new bands from Oslo featuring Even and Emanuele [...]

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 [...]

Since I got back from Oslo/Norway (yesterday, late afternoon) things have pretty much sucked – among various things, there was the Sigh & Explode show at Last Train last night and since the S&E norwegian booking has been quite sucky according to Tobias, they’ve only played very few shows since their debut album came out. [...]

If you think punk’s dead, you’ve never been to a Death is Not Glamorous show. Last week, tuesday. I rushed not to miss the opening bands, but got to see just two songs of the first one. I’d never heard of BRACKETS CLOSED before, and I only knew very little of that band from Virginia called [...]

Places I went, things I did. Little reports (and omg photos!) coming soon: Death ain’t Glam @ Dreiraum Casiotone for the Painfully Alone @ Arena (Kleine Halle) Impressions of the Vienna Art Fair Banks Violette @ Kunsthalle Curated By – a gallery tour and lots more other bits and pieces. I’m currently sort of juggling with 2.5 jobs + the studies. thank [...]

this week, slightly obsessing over: jenny owen youngs: hot in herre [nelly cover] ..because she’s just so good at it. death is not glamorous: assets ..because, well. NORWAY + HOT BOY + PUNK MUSIC = SUPERGORGEOUSNESS. the robot explosion: fuck was I ..because the little gameboy-like sounds + jenny’s voice are to die for. the decemberists: the crane wife 3 ..because it’s a [...]
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
