*%TEENAGER CLOTHES AND GOOD SHOES_+

Good Shoes @ OFFSET Festival (2) from Sitcom Serf on Vimeo.


Judging from all the Good Shoes live performance videos I've seen so far seems I have to wear my teenager clothes again like I did on Tuesday last week when I went to see The xx, These New Puritans and the mighty mighty Japandroids. Hope the audience will be as enthusiastic and wild as at the Japandroids gig or at least those people standing at the front. I thought this was going to be my only gig this week and I was heading for a break, but turns out that The Drums' gig is also this week, on Friday to be exact. So my concert going days aren't over yet, or at least not for this month. I wasn't expecting to see that many bands play so soon into 2010, but seems everyone is coming this way this year and loads of bands will release new material! Foals better get that new album out and start touring. I see they are already coming to France and Germany so it might not take long before some new dates will be added and Amsterdam will be on their touring schedule! :D

Have to buy some things I want to use for a school assignment and then later perhaps go to a cinema to watch a movie just before going to Paradiso. That's my schedule for today ;)

^$I'M THERE!_+

Last year I got my ticket to Lowlands the day before the festival started, now I got my ticket months before! Hopefully the line-up will be good, but I don't have any worries about that. Can't wait to start my first real year at the HKU, I'm so excited after getting these presentations by alumni yesterday. I'm definitely going for the bachelor in Fine Arts instead of photography. I feel Fine Arts contains everything and will be all about me, my progression, me devoloping my own style, taking my own route and the teachers helping to get me in the right direction. I think I'd only like photography for the technical part, learning about developing pictures in a dark room etc. etc. But doing Fine Arts won't mean I'll completely neglect photography. Fine Arts can be photography as well. I'll mix it all! ;)

Woke up way too early for a Sunday, had to many ideas for an assignment for school that I just couldn't catch any sleep once I opened my eyes. But it's alright 'cause I had to be early anyway, this morning the first bunch of tickets for Lowlands can be bought. I haven't been to any other music festivals in this country but I have a feeling Lowlands really is the coolest one of all. Last year I went there for the first time and loved it. Sleeping in a tent, no showering, having music for breakfust, lunch and dinner. What else could I ask for?

Let's post pictures 'cause I like posting pictures! Lots of them
I'm sorry for always posting pictures of extremely pretty boys and girls, I know this is not what we all look like. It's not my fault though, blame the photographers! :)

This pictures is just wow
Makes me think of Eva Green in The Dreamers

The new Joanna Newsom album has leaked and I love it! She's not one of the most accessible musicians to listen to, especially because of her voice, it's something you have to get used to. But once you do you'll appreciate her. This new album seems much softer than her previous work, even though I'm not too well known with her first albums. It's very gentle, makes me feel at ease with the world. Plus, her voice has changed quite a bit due, apparently, to her developing vocal chord nodes! I think I like both her old as well as her new singing voice, but I'm sure her new voice will attract more listeners and gain her some new fans
