Listener

Saw this band live last month, ever since I've been listening to it quite a lot again. This gig on youtube is awesome too.

Want to go back to smoking now

Some music! And still no time for blogging....

I love the new Bon Iver album a lot, makes me feel all tingly and sparky. This video is quite shit though, yet the thing that makes it quite funny again is that the chick in the video was in America's Next Top Model at some point, haha.




Also digging the new Tom Vek album very much!




As you may have noticed I haven't had that much time for my blog lately, holidays to London and Barcelona last month are causers of this; when I got back I needed a lot of time to catch up on schoolwork. Perhaps also the fact that I've had to keep a blog on the news for a course in college is not that benificial either; it makes me neglect this one a bit! Next week I have my final tests, so no time now nor next week really then as well. Apart from that, my part-time job and my private life are also taking up a lot of time as well :)
Hopefully more blog entries during summer! I will post my pictures taken during my trips to London and Barcelona quite soon though, so that's something I guess.

The new album is my favourite album of the year so far, along with the new Gang Gang Dance, J. Mascis and Bon Iver.

Also: absolutely stunning video

Some new vids

Dolphins

Summer is on its wayyy

Great video

Amazing artwork by Chad VanGaalen

Sincerely hoping Ponytail's new album will be followed by a (European) tour

This gives me a boner

Pavement revival

Have been listening to them again a lot lately, was once more reminded of their brilliance I guess.

Seeing Bright Eyes live tonight!

Neutral Milk Hotel

I would be able to die happily and peacefully after seeing Neutral Milk Hotel/Jeff Mangum live, I think. Considering Jeff Mangum has been playing a couple of shows (and announced a few more), and is curating ATP this year, I am hoping he will do a European tour as well. I'd give up an organ or a limb to see this band live, I love them so much!

You

Late 2010 until now.

It's been a while since I posted some analogue photos; therefore the following batch comprises of pictures taken from (late) October 2010 to January 2011. Guess this whole lack of pictures is also attributed to me having been trying out my fisheye camera for the past few months. I still need to finish up the film on that one as well.

Pet Sounds

Twin Shadow for Yours Truly/Pitchfork

Yup, I know, I just love this band too much.
