London! I am falling in love with this city every single time a little more.. Partly because I feel that there is so much to see, so many people to meet, a different air to breathe; and partly because anywhere but Vienna was a good start, at least for a couple of days. I was [...]

I’m not quite ready to let go of this year yet – 2009 was wonderful and intense, it was heartbreaking and funny, frustrating and surprising. I’ve traveled, met old friends, made new friends, learned from mistakes and repeated those mistakes again.. I’ve been scared, more scared, I’ve been fearless and young and stupid and mature [...]

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 [...]

While in Paris last week, I dropped by the Centre Pompidou to take a look at some art. The Center is quite big and relatively new so I’d never been there before. I already knew half of the pieces exhibited in the permanent collection, either because I’d seen them in some of my classes (that’s [...]

So, before leaving on my trip last month, I wrote a short entry about the Disposable Memory Project. I’ve already sent some photos of the first camera drop-off to the people in charge, and my camera is already officially in the camera list, here. I’m excited to see how far it will travel! And since [...]

.. is the Get Up Kids row of concerts this summer. I am going to two (2!) of them. It’s quite exciting. we’re going on a massive road trip; in fact, leaving time is set in 9 hours. wonderful! I thought I’d have time to update everyone on our graffiti session on the weekend, but [...]

On my various two-day trips to the Norwegian Capital, I went to the obvious tourist spots – Munch Museum, Botanic Garden, Vigelandsparken, and the cemetery where Ibsen is buried – but missed out on a lot of galleries and museums, mostly because of me being short of time and low on cash. I had almost [...]

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. A few hours later at a party, I meet Veronica, a girl wearing 50’s glampunk pin-up clothes and make-up. We got talking about [...]

“All I remember of Cologne is that it’s cold and rainy,” I said to Michael who was sitting across of me on the train, as it was crossing the Rhine. A little further, as grand as the most famous German cathedral could be, I could make out the Koelner Dom. And to my left on [...]
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
