!}I KILLED MY DINNER WITH KARATE[.

It's another rainy morning, which I like, so much better than a sunny day. Makes me feel calm and safe. Like you can hide yourself in the gloomy air. Yesterday I had a wonderful evening seeing Joanna Newsom perform with her band as well as Mr. Roy Harper who had the pleasure of opening the night with his brilliant guitar playing and storytelling way of singing, took the audience into his wonderful world of stories about war, the sun and the moon, and he and his woman. Mr. Harper looks like such a kind, warm, gentle person. A very charming man and I loved his facial expressions. You can see he plays with love and is passionate about his art. Joanna and her band were wonderful as well. Joanna seems very free spirited and came on stage with such enthusiasm. Like Mr. Harper she too plays with so much love and devotion. I loved how when just after she appeared and she finished her last sentence she immediately and quite unexpectedly started her first song of the evening which left me with no time to inhale another fresh breath of air before the start of the song. So the entire song my mouth was left open astonished by the beauty that had all of a sudden filled the space. It was truly magical and very very special. The band added so much, giving it a kind of theatrical feel sometimes sounding almost like those old radio plays you used to hear on the radio where a story is being told and sound comes in to enrich the words. Each song started with just Joanna on harp or piano and then as the song progressed ('cause you know, most of her songs are pretty long, like a journey) the other instruments joined in and brought the song even more to life. But I really loved how they kept the songs dynamic, going from parts with lots of instruments to quieter moments with just Joanna and the harp/piano. I also loved how during some songs three of the musicians used their hands to make clapping sounds and to me the banjo is always a welcome addition. Nothing but love for the banjo! ;) It was unlike any other concerts I've been to, 'cause usually I stand and look up at the stage whereas now I was seated with the result that the stage was on eye level, making for a competely different perception from what I'm used to. The sound was perfect, so clear, flawless. And you could notice people sitting in awe and some carefully drying those tears running down their cheeks. I'm now looking forward to seeing Jónsi even more. I've heard a lot of great things about him as well so on Thursday I'm in for another night full of magic. And its not even my birthday

No pictures from the concert. I think you weren't allowed to or maybe not allowed to flash, but this was so special I didn't want to ruin anything for the people sitting next to me by taking pictures all the time and making clicking camera sounds. So here's a non-related image instead ;)

@=MURDER ME RACHAEL, I'VE MADE A MISTAKE"+

Awake way too early. Just bought my Jónsi ticket :P

jónsi - go do (live on late late show with craig ferguson) from Jónsi on Vimeo.

It will be a depressing couple of weeks when it comes to gigs. First The Antlers, then Beach House + jj, Joanna Newsom and last but not least Jónsi. I'd better make myself a really big tissue 'cause I'll be crying like a hurricane

I think I'll sell my Two Door Cinema Club ticket (!) and see them first time on Lowlands instead. Just to save a bit of money. Jónsi and Joanna don't come cheap you know ;)

Sunday, wake up, give me a cigarette.
Last night's love affair is looking vulnerable in my bed - Obessions by Marina & The Diamonds

Finally seeing a movie today at the cinema. Feels like ages ago :(

_.DÉBORAH + HANNAH#(

Déborah François has quickly climbed her way up to the top of my list of favourite actresses, not only is she really talented she's also INCREDIBLY pretty. I've only seen her in three films so far, L'Enfant, Unmade Beds and yesterday early evening I watched her in My Queen Karo where she spoke a bit of Flemish (!!!), adorable. Girl really is electrifying, she's like a HUGE magnet, can't keep my eyes off her.
So here she is, a quick ode to miss Déborah François, I prefer her with dark hair though. The actor playing the father was quite a handsome chap as well, but my attention was completely taken up by miss François, how could I not be :D






Ohhh crushie crushie

Pictures via AnnaLeader.com and taken from the set of Unmade Beds.

If you don't know yet the new Foals leaked yesterday WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! my surprise after I got home from the cinema :D Also The Black Keys' latest effort as well as the newest release by THE NATIONAL!!!! But I think I'll wait for The National, would love to buy it on vinyl and listen to it first time in proper quality. So much good music at the same time and I'm LOVING the new Foals.

Be aware of TITTIES Not safe for work people, unless, I don't know, you work in a strip club or something, or a butcher maybe

If anyone happens to win the lottery anytime soon keep me in mind I could use some help financially as it will be likely I will not eat or buy any new clothes for the upcoming four years!!!... I should find a sugar daddy like Carey Mulligan's character in An Education, oh wait, I already have one actually :p Danieeeeelll

.*TELL ME JÓNSI WHEN EXACTLY HAVE YOU AND I BECOME SUCH GOOD FRIENDS?_=

I spent all afternoon in Amsterdam today and for most part I spent it with Jónsi, as well as the other lads of Sigur Rós, but mostly with Jónsi. And when Jónsi sings I'm in trance and it's like the sky opens up and the sun shines through and the world's waking up from a coma. Today summer has arrived unannounced, coming in a couple of months early, seriously I could have walked around naked and it would have been perfectly fine. It was a very warm day especially compared to some weeks ago when it was freezing cold. I feel this year is going to be the year of excess, same as last winter, this summer will probably be remembered for its extremes. It's only spring and it's already real nice out so imagine what summer will do. My favourite song of Jónsi, 'cause let get back to Jónsi, probably is Boy Lilikoi. It's so sweet, not sure what exactly a Lilikoi Boy is, but who cares, hearing this song I'd love to be a Lilikoi Boy :D When the song starts it's pink ribbons and glitter for the first couple of minutes, but then it becomes a bit more serious, and the sugarcoating slowly comes off. But oooh I love the beginning. It's so cute. Makes me feel like a little boy. Coming to think of it, I wonder what it would be like hearing this as a girl, I don't think it would have the same effect, or would it? I'll never be able to tell though. Anyway, it was a good day. Was supposed to go to the cinema but the weather made me change my plans, so tomorrow museum + cinema. Probably yes.

Apart from listening to Jónsi while lying in the grass I also read the second chapter of Billy Liar, 'cause that's what I'm reading at the moment and I love it so much already. It's like A Clockwork Orange. Seems I'm a big fan of books about troubled youth growing up in the UK. It's either this or stories set in 19th century Paris à la Guy de Maupassant's Yvette or Balzac's Père Goriot.

My right eye looks as if wants to close itself and I'm not exactly looking straight into the cam, but oh well, nobody's perfect

I was hoping to come out like this like last time, but alas :)
