_.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

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

>&FOALS EFFECT_+

Someone, anyone, seriously, see those pants this model kid Marcel Castenmiller is wearing? Well, they're no pants, they're leggings, part of Chloe Sevigny's collection (that actress from Kids and Boys Don't Cry), it's already an old collection and I doubt you can still find it somewhere but if you do send it to me okay?

These pants the guy in the middle is wearing will do just fine as well



See that little spot of purple above my eye, that's what I call the Foals effect. I cant even remember anyone hitting me, or wait now I come to think of it, I do remember actually :-)



And I made these for that diary assignment for school tomorrow





Now I need to go to bed, waking up early again YAAAWNN

_/LOOK AT DEM KIDS@}

Look at them kids enjoying themselves, it was one hot sweaty bath :DDD

$:TOTAL FOALS FOREVER_)

Phew, that was intense!! I got myself in the mosh pit a bit, danced a little during the somewhat slower parts, went from the right to the left to a bit in the middle and back, spoke to three girls, one from the US called Emily, met a guy at the front door afterwards handing out flyers who happens to be in my new class at school (he'll give me a link how to join the flyer brigade so I can do the same and go to gigs for free!!), put on my headphones afterwards and rode my bike listening to Two Steps, Twice, I took pictures that turned out real well I think, so all in all it was a gooooood night! :DDD I was there around 19.15, an accident happened so the tram had to make a detour. Anyway, still pretty much on time and to my surprise it wasn't crowded at all. I expected a lot of fangirls and -boys already being there real early. At the Yeasayer gig it was incredibly crowded when I got there, but that was on a Saturday so maybe that's why? The support act, The Invisibles started to play not too long after I arrived and during their performance someone patted me on the back who happened to be this girl Emily. She wanted to know how I had done the set up on my camera, 'cause one of the friends she was with had just gotten a camera like mine for her birthday so she isn't yet an expert. Not that I am, but I took her camera and put the exact same settings as mine. Then she took a picture and I received the thumbs up. Then The Invisibles were done and I kept talking to Emily and her friends a bit. Turns out there is this European school in Amsterdam. Emily is 17 or 18, one of the two :), by the way, and she's from the US. Cool girl. She bought the camera for her friend and was the one taking her two friends to the gig. The friend with the camera had never been to one before. Imagine your first concert being Foals!! AMAZING



Anyway, Foals started on time and because I met these girls time flew by so I didn't even have time to feel nervous :D I don't know why but I often happen to stand at the wrong side or at least at the beginning 'cause the people on the right didn't burst out into this giant bolt of energy immediately after the guys took the stage but some people in the middle and left did so I was like, shit! I need to get to the other side at one point. People started to jump, elbows flying around and not too long after the first song I got myself in there, holding my camera tightly in my right hand. It was super hot, I almost hit someone with my cam, sorry, I hereby apologize. I thought, let's put both arms up, but I shouldn't have done that obviously. Turning my camera into a weapon, not a clever thing to do. So I took my right arm down again. It all goes so fast, you take pictures, listen to the music, catch glimpses of the guys on stage, try to enjoy listening to Yannis' voice. But it's so overwhelming that I really need to go again :D Plus, I feel that a gig like this works much better in a smaller venue, such as when I saw Japandroids or Good Shoes in the small space upstairs of Paradiso, there you can jump around like a fool but with still enough space to breathe. Still, it was brilliant though. They played new songs as well as the old ones of course, but no reaaaaaaaaal old ones, just old ones as in tracks from the first album. So no Astronauts And All for example :(( , my favourite, or Hummer or Mathletics :((( BOOOOOOO!! But still it was good and the new songs sounded really nice, maybe even a bit better than the old ones. I was curious about how This Orient would turn out live 'cause it's really one of those songs that's danceable but also perfect to go crazy moshy and jump on, that kind of thing. I really think it's one of my favourites. I love it I really do.



I think someone hit me right above my right eye because it feels like it's going to swell up a bit :DDD And my plugs have these little rubber bands to keep them in place and the two on the right disappeared. They must have fallen off when I was jumping around :P What else what else, Electric Bloom was great as well as Two Steps, Twice. Those are gooooooooood live. So like I said I did a bit of everything. At the end I slowed it down a little and got back on the right side but by this time the right had also woken up and was filled with people who were losing themselves. I haven't seen Emily & Co. anymore. Perhaps they left, 'cause Emily mentioned a gig where people started to mosh and everyone was sweaty and she didn't really like that. And then I was like, uhhhhh, I think that's exactly what's gonna happen here as well. So maybe they went into the back 'cause after Foals were done they were nowhere to be seen. But that's okay. If I had seen them perhaps I would have stayed a bit longer though. But because it's so overwhelming and so much is going on at once I didn't even have time to have a hysterical Yannis moment or something. 'Cause I know that at gigs which are much calmer like Beirut for instance, there are many times that I'm like, oooooh Zach Condon this was goood. But here I didn't have time for that. I did catch a good glimpse of Jimmy who is the most handsome of the band even when all sweaty and I love how he holds his guitar and gets really into it! So thoughts like oh he looks good sweaty, did cross my mind :) But no obsessive Yannis adoration thoughts. The lighting was really nice as well which is a good thing 'cause it makes taking good pictures a lot easier. The last couple of gigs I went to had a bit of shitty lighting, way too dark. And so afterwards I got my stuff, it took quite a long time to get my bag, and then when I got out I was given a flyer by this guy who's in my class. So next Saturday I'll have someone to talk about it to. Just what I needed. Well, I really NEED to see these guys again. Hope they come back when the new album is released. This is when I get real happy about Amsterdam and our country's policy regarding drugs because Yannis already mentioned he felt like getting stoned afterwards and they don't play a lot of gigs in any other cities anytime soon. But they did come to Amsterdam and we're not exactly a big country, so of course the coffeeshops are very appealing and I bet have been a good reason for them to perform here. Now I'm gonna post pictures and stuff and then jump into bed. I'm so happy. I had a really nice evening, nothing to feel nervous about, and people like my haiiiir :D

"!SOMEONE'S GONNA DIE TONIGHT)@

Oooooo it's tonight!!! Just look at that video if that's any indication of what's going to happen I'll be dead by the end of the night!! I'm not sure if I'm able to concentrate today and work on my school assignment. If I knew I wasn't going by myself it would probably be a bit easier for me, but the girl I would like to go with isn't able to go and is running out of money and prefers seeing a movie at a film festival and some other friends already told me last time at the Yeasayer gig they aren't able to go 'cause they're already going to another concert or they have to perform themselves. Anyway, I could so use somebody to give me a bit of support until they climb up that stage and start playing, someone to hold my hand or something :) I'm just superexcited, it's gonna be so intense!!! Arrrrrrrrrrr People will start dancing/jumping, acting wild, it's gonna be super hot. Once they start playing I'll be gone and I don't need anyone to hold me, but the waiting is gonna be killingggg!!! I wish I had my friend from the UK who loves them as much as I do, plus wouldn't it be so awesome if for only tonight I could transform myself into a teenage screaming fangirl, only for tonight???!!! 'Cause I feel like screaming and shaking my hands hysterically and going ooooh YANNISSS!!! But as a boy it seems a bit odd to go on the hysterical road like that, except maybe at a Patrick Wolf concert?? I'm not the screaming type anyway, I'll just dance my socks off, but oooo it would make things so much easier :p

<\TALKING HEADS]+

I was thinking about going to the museum right after I watched Shutter Island at the cinema, but I didn't feel like it. I feel more like making something myself so that's what I'm going to do this late afternoon/early evening! This week we got the most fun assignment for school we had so far. We basically have to start a diary, but we're not allowed to use any text, take pictures or make any videos. But it's one of those assignment that allows me to do whatever I want which is what I like most. And this is what it's going to be like eventually anyway, I'll be my own boss giving assignments to myself instead of working for a company that tells me what to do 24/7 :)

I'd never listened to Talking Heads before until some days ago, I knew David Byrne though, just didn't know he was of Talking heads :D He's one of those guys whose name you often read somewhere when you surf the net visiting sites about music plus I knew him from the track Knotty Pine which is a collaboration with Dirty Projectors and I love those guys. So I decided to check out their debut album and immediately I was stunned by the greatness of this album and Byrne's voice!! Wow, the way he pronounces words, sometimes he sounds so nasal, almost ugly sounding in a way, but love it and find it to be beautiful. I knew the track Psycho Killer but at the same I didn't really. But it's the one song I think they're most famous for. Here's them performing Don't Worry About The Government which is one of my many favourites from the album



Once today is over it's only going to be one more day until I see Foals. I think I'm a bit scared! :DD

Ohh Karlie sometimes she looks so pretty, natural beauty



So seductive

I forgot, I also need to do some vacuum cleaning and tidy up my room!

^$AFRAID_*

It's ridiculous, but lately I've been afraid, very afraid, that the new National album and the new Foals album will leak without me being one of the first to find out about it! It's silly, I know, but I keep checking their Last.fm profile site to see if I read about someone in the shoutbox saying the albums have leaked! This is not the way things should be, gettin this excited for a leak instead of the actual physical release, but I can't help it

These two editorials are genius. Love them both, just look!

Felt good being back in school and talking to other people other than my brother or parents! I'm still amazed sometimes by how kind people can be, especially 'cause I do still feel people perceive me as a weird kid because of the way I dress sometimes, the hair and them plugs! :) It's good to know a lot people are able to see through appearance and care more about the inside than the out. Thanks!

Wow, I really REALLY like this new Nelly Furtado song, can't wait for the actual song, not this demo version, and the new album. It's been a while she put out some music that really got me excited! Good to have her back :)

4 DAYS TO FOALS!!!!! Can you believe it?!!! After all this time, I'm gonna see them :p
