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 [...]

can be downloaded for free here! The work was recorded before his Pompidou EP, and though it doesn’t show as much maturity and experimentation with the instruments, it’s still an interesting find.

I know. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I have a crush on Matthias and can’t seem to get enough of his music. Luckily for me, he is having a lot of shows lately, so even when I miss one, I know that the next isn’t too far away. This time, I [...]

We’ve had a couple of rainy days over here, and today that it’s sunny, I’m stuck home (on a saturday! damn!) making lists, working on a poster, collecting ideas for one of my many side-projects, and putting together the Sjur Lyseid Q&A. I’m so very excited about this, I’d never planned to do interviews on [...]

I will make a list of them: #1: the current student occupation at Uni Wien #2: Grand Archives posted tour dates and they’re coming back to Vienna. This means Mat Brooke love! #3: secret plans with Sweet, Sweet Moon #4: Happy Coffin Nation (the [...]

[useless post] This is unbearable, I’ve been listening to this EP non-stop the past month. no good. or yes, good? I think it’s funny that there’s the guys in the background completely unbothered by the music. [/useless post]

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 [...]

A real quick entry before I’m out of here to get on with my work (lots of applications due before october 1st, and working full-time the rest of the week, ufff). My best friend dragged me to the Wallis Bird show last night. He is obsessed with her and though I liked her too 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
