I'm listening to Sigur Rós right now and already I feel a bit scared. I wasn't even feeling sad or anything, but now... I took sort of a nap and when I awoke I found myself in Ára Bátur and apparently sometimes I don't want to be alone while listening to Ára Bátur. And my head fills up with thoughts about tomorrow and tomorrow will be another day all by myself. And it's not like I'm constantly all by myself, when I go to work it's nice 'cause I get to talk to people, but it seems that isn't the same as really being with someone and right now I do feel really alone. I'll miss going to school on Saturday. In a couple of months I'll go there every day, but it's still a bit far away. There's still an entire summer vacation to survive. And I'm not that good with summer vacations. Always makes me feel the entire world is going on vacation with family or hangs out with friends, except for me. It always feels like such an effort not to end up feeling like I'm the one left all by himself. So this is what Jónsi & co. do to me. I probably won't cry tonight 'cause that never happened to me before so I'm not expecting it to happen ever, not even tonight. Though it's said to be rather epic and very magical. I can't wait to see it but I have a feeling it would be nice if a lot of people would be able to hold my hand tonight even just for one song
The sun's not helping either you know, days like these are meant to be rainy days. Last Sunday seeing Joanna was perfect 'cause it was raining and I felt like I could hide, but today. No shelter
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.
The big tree I was lying under
Me on webcam, I was bored so I took some snapshots
I had to take a new picture for this public transport discount card so I stepped into the photobooth last Friday This is the result
Me with my twin brother
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 :)
Thomas Penfound you and I should sooooo switch hair!!!!

It's one of those nights I'm checking out both recent and old Takeaway Show episodes again and I stumbled upon those by White Rabbits that I like. In particular this one of their song Percussion Gun, enjoy!
White Rabbits will be supporting Spoon when I see them in february! :DD Lucky me!
!!!!!!!!!!! I didnt know there was one with Animal Collective!!!!!!!!!
That's the great thing. When at first you haven't listened to a band much you don't care when you see videos of the band performing acoustic versions of their songs. I might have seen their name listed among the previous Takeaway Show episodes but never paid attention, 'cause I didn't really love them back then. So after you actually start listening to them and fall in love with their music you have a lot of new things to disover!
Forgive me for the bad quality, it's the only video I could find :s
I always love Yeasayer, their songs ask for acoustic versions and Chris Keating's voice *swoon*, loooooove listening to him! Before I only took notice of their 2080/Tightrope session and not so much the Red cave in the metro one. But some days ago I watched it again and I gained a bigger appreciation for it than I did the first time watching it.
This is so lovely. Just recently I started to finally listen to Au Revoir Simone and to see this now is magical. Imagine just walking past them on the street
I wanted to post some Okkervil River as well but I found out I still can't bear listening to them. Just hearing Will Sheff's voice brings back the memories and makes me want to weep :(
Oh my, I don't remember ever watching these! Just look at the flickering light at the beginning of the Start A War video! Not sure if I'm able to hold back the tears watching this one...
I feel so sad that the old couple doesn't stay! If only they knew what they'd miss! Sometimes I recommend videos to friends to watch but then end up not watching them myself. That has been the case with this one apparently. I love this song, my favourite of Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust
