Out of the blue (and as if I didn’t have enough to do, in fact) I jumped in for a short-notice, late-night poster design for an event organised by the 405 guys and sponsored by last.fm. It’s taking place on January 14th at the Good Ship in London (guess what, the event is also on [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’d already mentioned in a previous post that the new Sigh & Explode album is coming out very, very soon. Tomorrow, in fact. And, guess what? the boys have put up the whole album on last.fm for full streaming. You can listen to all of it, from beginning to end. Enjoy!

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 [...]

I’ve just come back from a lecture called “Popular Music: The Age of Multimedia” held by Andrew Blake (Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at the University of East London).

aka how to waste your time, part one. according to this, today I am, based on my overall top artists: 0% underground & 26% mainstream weekly top artists: 0% underground & 14% mainstream recent tracks: 84.2% underground & 1% mainstream overall top tracks: 0 % underground & 21% mainstream
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
