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 [...]

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 [...]

SEVEN DAYS TO GO… I have to admit that I have always been a fan of Christmas. When I was a kid, of course, I would always hope to see Santa coming down the chimney (because, yes, I belonged to one of those lucky families that had a fireplace). The only time I saw ‘him’, he [...]

Almost a year ago, I met this boy at this bar. I guess he’s the social type, because he started talking to me. Anyway, at the time I was listening to Maria Taylor’s new album a lot. A few months later, I left to Norway. So Clean Getaway – story of my life – tugs [...]

I’ve had a culture-full, almost work-free past few days. Starting with books (I am making good use of my library card and book suggestions from friends, though I grew up with the conviction that me, a bookstore, masses of time and judging a book by its cover are just as good as a book review).. Hearing so [...]

In french there’s a saying, “jamais deux sans trois”. The word-by-word translation would be, “never two without three”. Meaning that when something has happened twice, it’s bound to happen a third time. So, having already seen Maria Taylor twice (even though the second one wasn’t such a great experience), I just had to go see [...]
January 28, 2007
I was actually counting the days until January 10th. I had seen Maria Taylor once before – November 2005 in Chelsea, after I had missed one of her gigs in June – and had absolutely fallen in love with her and with her sister (who played the keyboards at the time); needless to say when [...]
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
