A big hype was created around the live show of Sigúr Rós frontman Jónsi’s solo project. It was said to be an interesting mix of theatre, music, performance, and art. Little over a month ago, I headed back from the Acoustic Lakeside Festival on a rainy day with littleliongirl to see with my [...]

One of the greatest things about summer in this city is the wide choice of open air cinemas. My first time this summer was seeing the Virgin Suicides (for the first time, since it was one of those movies I’d only read the book of but never seen); the second movie which I absolutely didn’t [...]

I have a pile of books sitting next to, or near, my bed, waiting to be read. I have a thing for piles of books, however my bookshelves get angry at me, if I don’t use them. At the moment, aforementioned books are Ham On Rye (Bukowski) and Player Piano (Vonnegut). Chances are, however, that [...]

Apparently (and out of nowhere!) male bff and me are back on super good terms. If you ask me, sometimes boys are quite silly. Anyway, today he pulled me out of my hole (I was hoping to just ignore everything and everyone and spend a rainy Sunday inside, cuddling with the cat and daydreaming) and [...]

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 [...]

Yay! I’m in another group show, titled “Other Dimensions”. It’s our final presentation for a Theory course in new media we did this semester (I definitely prefer this way of finishing a series of seminars rather than written exams.. cough cough) This time I took almost no part in any of the organising, though. [...]

Hey, it’s art-day today! okay, not so much – but I feel like my motivation to explore the art world is going down, down, down.. and when I do, then it’s mostly photography. I came across a nice couple of art blogs and whatnot in the last weeks, and promised myself to write about them [...]

I get to Szene way too early and spot a slightly annoyed Walter unloading a couple of things from the van outside; trying hard to repress the fangirl in me, I pretend I don’t see him and walk on – into an empty venue, which in the following hour doesn’t get much more filled up. [...]

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 [...]

Does anyone remember when Oh My Love came out? I remember it very well, because it was around the time that the Aqualung song Strange and Beautiful (I’ll Put a Spell On You) was constantly on the radio. Oh My Love was Sophia’s great breakthrough into the mainstream. For some reason I’d always thought that [...]
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
