Female Gone Fuzzy

There is a reason why St.Vincent’s newest album is called “Actor” instead of “Actress”.
A few years ago, Feist showed us how precious and rare femininity can be  in the music industry. It would then spark a revolution in indie music where this time round, a Queen would take the throne.
All of a sudden, Lykke Li, Inara George, [...]

An inevitable folly

On this blog, I always try to showcase some diversity in my musical choices, but the fact of the matter is : I always go back to the same bands. If you are a regular reader, you might have noticed that the word “MEW” on my tagboard is now practically the size of a continent.

A Melancholic Mystery.

A few years ago, before I stubbled upon Grizzly Bear, the idea that I would get goosebumps while listening to an indie track was pretty foreign. Indie bands then were either weird like the Flaming Lips, snappy like the Strokes or just generally nice like the Kings of Convenience, all with very little to empathise with.
Then came [...]

Evaporar

The French saying for “it makes me sad” is “Cela Me Rend Triste”. Doesn’t sound so stylish right? I guess style and melancholy don’t really gel well with each other?
This is a photo of all the shoes I’ve been neglecting for the past 3 months. Like I said before, I’ve lost complete interest in books and [...]

Shit happens to many other people too, but for a while, I had completely lost interest in books, music, blogging and such. That is until I received an email from Dappled Cities (the Australian band I covered a while ago). Well, maybe not [...]

SOMETIMES LIFE ISN’T EASY ~

It’s Saturday. I don’t know why, but today I developed a compulsive urge to touch the sleeves of others. I believe this is what people call “Psychosis“.

I’ve got a BFF!!!

I’m gonna let you in on something.  Well, it’s two things actually, and one is slightly better then the other.
Ok, first things first. I have a BFF!
The second thing, I’m gonna tell you how I feel about my BFF. 
Sometimes when I find lesser cash in my wallet than I expected, I think about my BFF. I think [...]
