With an approaching January 1st, the bloggers of the world are all busy making lists of the best records of the year, best records of the decade, best gigs of 2009.. having just gotten back from a semi-holiday (it was mostly visiting family and emptying an apartment, with lots of reading in between) I have [...]

I suppose that if you are an avid reader of my blog (don’t have to be but, you know..) you might have seen me mention Sjur Lyseid once in a while. This boy from Norway doesn’t need an introduction, his music speaks for him. In fact, why don’t you go listen to some right now? [...]

Sadly for me, I am too interested in music not to eagerly be on the lookout for new bands on a weekly basis. I’ve slowly learned my lesson, and stopped taking into consideration every band recommended to me by last.fm (=recommendation fail, by the way), music blogs, or by friends. In that big, loud world [...]

So earlier today yesterday I got a really nice email from the guys over at Lazy Acre Records. It was mainly to say thanks for writing about Sjur Lyseid (who, I remind you in case you’d forgotten, I am absolutely in love with) here. I really love it when people take the time to do [...]

As Sjur Lyseid sings, “Oslo is a small small town”. Yes, because on my first day, I bumped into Annette (she directed the Wintermare video) on her way to the train station.

..especially when it is love for a young and talented boy from Norway. Since Norway is sort of my favorite country in the world, how could I not be a little bit in love with Sjur Lyseid too? Because Sjur makes lovely bedroom romance winter songs – that’s the best I can describe them in [...]

So a summer that starts like this is a little worrying. It’s the heat that does it – I find hot months really depressing, somehow. Maybe because I am always waiting for the rain that never comes. Anyway, this song has been on repeat for the past few days. It’s so fragile and simple, but the [...]
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
