You know those books you have on your reading list FOREVER, and somehow you just never managed to buy (or even really take the time to find) a copy? And then when you finally do, and you start reading, and you love it, you think, “ah. so THIS is what I’ve been missing out on [...]

I’m flying in less than 10 hours. I haven’t finished packing yet. I’m excited! I’ve got more or less a schedule of what’s where, please leave comments if you want to hang. It sounds terribly pretentious but I just can’t keep with everything and everyone right now, I’m too all over the place.. but [...]

yes, even the good and loud and busy and constantly-on-the-run people go on holiday. I am off to a snowy place for ten days of good food, early nights, lots of skiing, and no internet. I felt like I needed to throw in a couple of updates before my trip (though I really should be [...]

Sometimes, the most random series of events leads to a situation which would have never occurred otherwise. Let’s take, for example, Tiki & the Fancy Lights. This local band melts boundaries between easy listening rock and shoegazey-emo beautifully, with unusual vocals. This has potential, I tell myself while nodding enthusiastically. There’s things I would change [...]

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 [...]

So I am back from the wonderful city I’ve learned to appreciate last year (mainly because of someone, but you know, it would still be beautiful, even without him) and I’ve seen and done and thought so much. the flight back was a pain, partly because I didn’t get to see everything and everyone I [...]
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
