Everyone has used at least once in their lives the great living room table as a tent; alternatively, there were always the extra blankets that mom tucked away for winter to grab when no one was looking to construct a silly-looking installment over one’s bed: a safe and warm hiding place, best enjoyed with one’s [...]

Remember how much I adore the Saddest Landscape? Yeah, well, the boys are offering a free track from their upcoming album (which I have already pre-ordered, the thought of getting vinyl in the mail makes me bounce off walls.) – go get it.

..well, not necessarily. But some are; and maybe with the arrival of summer, everyone is in a better mood, friendlier, nicer, and more generous. I know for sure that a couple of people (Jónsi, the Saddest Landscape, Lazy Acre Records, the Age of Rockets) are. Here’s a couple of links to a bunch of music-related [...]

Last year I had the chance to see David Santos, (that’s one-man-band Noiserv for you), perform live two days in a row here in Vienna, in two completely different settings. It was a mesmerizing experience, and the more I talked to him afterward (I also interviewed him, proof here!) the more I found him lovely, [...]

So Animal Kingdom (who I’ve been raving about since before Winterwell because I got really obsessed with them and who you should follow on twitter) are offering one song that didn’t make it on their album Signs and Wonders for free download. It’s nice, cause I’m a little bit in love with them. ♫ Animal Kingdom: [...]

Into It. Over It. reminded me a little of Dashboard Confessional. On the rather dark stage at the small, half-empty venue, Evan curled up on a chair and played a couple of songs, with anecdotes or funny introductions between each and with the Grown Ups rooting for him and singing along among the audience. As for [...]

How do you use your time wonderfully effectively? Forget about bank holidays and spontaneously head to a music video shoot to help out, document, and most importantly freeze your ass off in the Viennese Summer Weather (rain, cold, wind) on a construction site. So a couple of days ago, I was there on location while [...]

Well, a jolly good morning to all of you. The Lazy Acre Records Head- and Subquarters are buzzing with excitement. Uno Møller’s lovely digital single is out as of today, right on time to celebrate Norway’s birthday. You can download the whole thing for free from here (including some daydreamy artwork made by yours truly) as [...]

Across the Delta are maybe one of the best bands in Austria in their genre. I adore them a little bit – because they are great at what they do, they are focused and attentive, and they always have a melodic assonance going on which I like very much and which distinguishes them from the [...]
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
