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 [...]

So it’s been a couple of busy weeks here. With lots of new (secret!) projects starting, I’ve hardly had the time to sleep, let alone updating this lovely blog of mine. I haven’t even had the time to write this here: RIP EVERTON. Everton were a band that was somehow important for me. Sometimes you find yourself [...]

(if you don’t know what this is then you are a little uncool) I’ve been wondering how much of our feelings actually matter. I read a really cool Iggy Pop interview on the plane back from Cologne; who would have thought that he would someday make me stop and think. He said something about how when [...]

…and I am so getting it, right now. anyway, I would write about it, but R has got it all summed up better than I ever would, so go here and read. Reading is good for your health. You can listen to some of Rika’s music here, and to Everton here. The LP is out on Goddamn [...]

I have just found out that Michael Azerrad – journalist who worked for Rolling Stone, Mojo and Spin, wrote the world-famous Nirvana Biography Come As You Are, and was present at By:Larm 2008 in Oslo where he gave an amazing speech about hardcore and punk music in the 80’s – is in a band! They [...]

The good thing about going on a gig-ticket-shopping-spree when you get your paycheck (november 2008, when I bought tickets for Emiliana Torrini, God is an Astronaut, Son Ambulance, Everton, Islands and Soap&Skin) is that you end up going to shows you’d think twice about going to if you were broke and picky. That’s how I [...]

today’s song. I just cannot stop listening to it. It’s such a beautiful cover. I think it’s better than the original, actually. I’ve FINALLY managed to add photos of the everton show to this post, and photos to the islands show post too. go look! I can also feel that I might get addicted to blip.fm soon (since [...]

I’ve realised I haven’t posted in a while. Since December, in fact. I am so ashamed. But I’ve been working on a project (more info at alicetragedy.org), I’ve been sick, and then fine, and then sick again, and last but not least… we have exams coming up, so trying (and failing) to study, and working [...]

If you’ve never heard Everton before and you get to a show, the first thing you will notice is their young age. From the height of your [insert age here] years, you might even show a slight annoyance at the arrogance of these kids – yes, that’s what you’ll call them, ‘kids’. After all, how [...]

Josh Ritter: To the Dogs or Whoever (from The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter) A little catchy – maybe happier than a lot of his previous songs – the Josh Ritter in this song is like a truer version of Ryan Adams. More folk-americana than I’d want it to be, but so addictive. Everton: MC1R (from Floorsleepers) 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
