courtesy of the internet and this lovely person, I am now the proud owner of a 30-day-song challenge to waste my pre-exam time! day one starts with the favorite song. this is a hard one, because (like littleliongirl) I easily get obsessed with songs and then forget about them a couple of weeks (sometimes months) [...]

I want to see you shineAnd we will feel the weightFall away from us - Jeff Buckey
February 4, 2010
I used to listen to music all the time while working – sometimes even while I wrote. After a while though, I realised that it slows down my productivity and concentration at times. In the last month or so, I’ve grown accustomed to having at least two pairs of earplugs on me at all times [...]

I’ve written love notes to Jeff Buckley in here before, but I feel like on the day that would mark his 43rd Birthday (and a few days give or take, the 10th anniversary of our ‘encounter’) it’s more than justified to remember him and give myself a few minutes to reflect on how much this [...]

..I’ve been obsessing over this week. (mostly because winter is coming, I guess) #1: Sweet, Sweet Moon #2: Jeff Buckley, the one and only. #3: Instant Latte Macchiato/Cappuccino Nescafé #4: InDesign. it makes everything look sooooo pretty #5: post-its #6: hanging things on my wall #7: green-colored things #8: baking #9: scandinavian sweaters #10: mittens! [edit] oh and trips of course! I am off to Venice [...]

How many times have I declared to anyone who’d listen my absolute and unconditional love for Jeff Buckley? I remember writing a letter to his mother, Mary Guibert, when I was 13, in my grammatically-incorrect English, as if I was the only fan of his in the world… I remember the first time I heard [...]

This month’s (or rather, last month’s – I am a bit late with my submission this time…) Monthly Mixtape theme was related to “Years”. Each song should be from a different year, with bonus points if these are consecutive years. There could be any variations on the theme as wanted, which made it pretty difficult [...]

As I have already mentioned here, I joined a pretty effin’ awesome group on last.fm in January. It’s called The Monthly Mixtape and the concept is to make a themed mixtape every month (no, really?) The theme for February was Inheritance – basically, putting together a mix of songs that have been inherited from our parents [...]

someone last night asked me why I like this band so much and I found myself saying that they really aren’t that special… because in a way they aren’t. especially when you can’t understand the lyrics (a debut in ‘99, four albums so far, and they are still singing in italian. yes!) but they came around [...]

So I haven’t posted in a while because I’ve been busy attending gigs and lazy enough not to review them. Today I stumbled upon this and it made me oh-so-mad, so I believed I had to do a little rant (which, by the way, no one will be reading. but. oh well.) This story starts a long [...]
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
