(but don’t like anymore) Fact: 90% of my close friends have divorced parents. I suppose it’s just something that happens in a couple, and in our society where divorce has become something so ‘normal’, it’s easy to use it as a solution to a problem that could (maybe?) be solved otherwise. I might change my mind [...]

I have every friday off, which makes me even more happy to jump into the (3-day!) weekend head first; last week friday, I headed to Li’s brand new flat to draw on her walls something nice for two little angels.. I felt so privileged; you see, kids aren’t usually allowed to draw on walls, and [...]

..is how I enjoyed my last couple of days of ‘freedom’. I spontaneously drove to Carinthia with little lion girl last weekend, on Friday at noon to attend the Acoustic Lakeside Festival, which had a pretty cool line-up of local and less local bands, including NADA SURF which is one of my favorite favorite favorite [...]

Ouch. This is always a topic that hurts; I did learn to play instruments (harpsichord for eight years, piano and drums for a year each) but somehow, the music talent seed wasn’t rooted deep enough and it just didn’t grow at all. Sometime in my last years of high school, I did give up all [...]

So little blogging has been going on over here, mostly I was just posting songs for the 30 day song challenge and going off to do other things (like work, like sunshine, like summer, like reading, like paper cutouts..); I haven’t even really been to a gig in a while, SO leaving tomorrow to go [...]

After a blog post like this one, is there anything to add? Hearing my friends’ music on the radio is one of the best things ever. So maybe I’d go for one of Wintermare’s songs; possibly Halfway to a Star or Untitled, which are some of my favorites. It’s nice to know that I Have been [...]

Today is the day. We’ve been talking and writing and posting about it in the past couple of months; Songs from My Beautiful Colourball is out. Uno Møller wrote a little guest blog entry on the Lazy Acre Records page a while ago, and if you read it you’ll see how excited and happy he [...]

I got excited often enough about Matthias Frey’s amazing live performances as Sweet Sweet Moon. One of my favorite parts is when he covers gorgeous songs, making them his. One of those was Psalm for the Elks Lodge Last Call (originally by the Weakerthans and one of my favorites of theirs), another Beirut’s My Night [...]

Today we are releasing Uno Møller’s debut album Songs from my Beautiful Colourball. If you came to our exhibition MUSIC+HEARTBEATS last year, know me (or us) personally, or got in touch to get a free EP, you might have heard some songs on this album. Last week I posted a digital card from Uno; today [...]

I have many music memories of Norway; especially from the year I lived there and from my first summer in Hedmark; but no song will remind me more of the fields around Flisa than Angels and Airwaves‘ The Adventure. The video is really quite terrible, but all the nature shots seems like they could have been [...]
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
