I woke up with aching muscles (courtesy of standing for 6 hours yesterday, setting up cameras, filming and photographing here for this and then carrying ALL my equipment back home, not by car or public transport, but walking, because I am cool like that.. Anyway, it was a fun day nevertheless, and a really great [...]

These have been some busy days.. Working two jobs, all the extra, on-the-side unpaid stuff I do which is related to music and art AND, on top of everything else, university work – it’s a little exhausting. Also, I find it difficult to concentrate lately. My mind wanders. I’ve just finished designing a flyer for a [...]

I’m doing the most boring thing in the world this weekend, which is to sort out through more and more papers, supplies, cloth, old clothes, books, to decide what to get rid of. Maybe someday, in a very distant future, I will be very minimalistic and stop collecting lots of junk. At least the music is [...]

I’ve been listening to this song so much. Like a lot of Regina’s songs, it’s cryptic and leaves much to interpretation. Some said the local lake had been enchanted Others said it must have been the weather The neighbors were trying to keep it quiet But I swear that I could hear the laughter So they joke, and they nicknamed [...]

I read an interview with Regina Spektor a few days ago. It was a recent one, so obviously there was a lot of talk about her new album Far (coming out June 23rd I think). The interviewer referred to the album as being upbeat and went on to ask what made Regina so happy. A tiny [...]

I was randomly going from page to page and link to link this morning, and I found this interview. oh my. Regina Spektor is just so random. Also, she makes a lot of typos. :O

Stratos. A very glamorous venue, in a way, considering that it’s delegates only (good thing I am in the staff and have a blue, all-access pass) and that it’s on the top floor of a building right in the center from which you can have a panorama of the whole city at night. Most of [...]

I’d first planned on going because I miss going to small gigs of local bands. I’d heard some of Paper Bird’s songs on her Myspace Site and, though I thought of it as nothing that special, I took a seat outside a pretty empty rhiz at 8PM last night. The only thing I would have to [...]
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
