%*ODDSAC"{

I'm still tired from the late Lille nights and early mornings, just had a bit of a nap. Now I go back to working on my school assignment. If I manage to be done in time I'll go and watch ODDSAC tomorrow, Animal Collective's cinematic extravaganza at Smart Project Space in Amsterdam, my former work base

Here's the trailer for this 'visual album'



Damn Kelis your new album is fucking incredible

_[WE COME FROM A PLACE WHERE WE COUNT THE DAYS^(

Phew I'm done working for this week and now I'm about to go to bed or at least that's still the plan. Plan was to immediately brush my teeth and go to bed once I got home, but as usual I couldn't resist the powers of the internet so here I am again checking out music, film and pictures before I close my eyes and head off to dreamland...

Very nice track and video by a band from Iceland called FM Belfast



Thanks to Hernâni! ;)

!@THE NATIONAL + SUFJAN'}

Just a couple of pictures shot by me as well as Marion and Joaquín











The National + Sufjan Stevens



Sufjan looks like such a little boy :P

This film is gonna kill me



Of course I quit watching the trailer after the first 5 seconds ;)

"=ÇA MARCHE#^

I'm home again after a long bus trip (it had a 1.30h delay!) but enjoyed myself listening to my I-pod and reading The Fountainhead. Me and my friend went out dancing, saw a live broadcast outside on the 'grande place' of the opera Carmen, visited a museum by night and went for a quick trip to Bruxelles. Girl lives in such a cute pretty blue house that looks like a shop from the outside and the inside is fully decorated because the woman who used to live there left all her stuff that she and my friend's two housemates are allowed to use. So you find pillows with bear prints, kitchen towels with a pedigree of who used to rule over Britain, tiny mugs, several rugs, and weird masks on the walls :D I'll be posting pictures later or tomorrow...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Just found out the new Wolf Parade album has leaked!!
Also new Band Of Horses as well as We Are Scientists, so much catching up to do already...

*"OFF TO LILLE_{

Only some hours before I leave to Lille. Early morning tomorrow, like 6 hours in the bus, but it's OK, I'm tired from working so perhaps I'll fall asleep. Secretely I hope of course that I'll be sitting next to an interesting person preferably someone of my own age. Fingers crossed. But those kind of thing seemed to never happen to me. I always sit right next to some old dude and we talk, but it's not the same you know, there's no future friendship there, unless the old guy must be reaaaaaly interesting and kind or something. But you can imagine I prefer someone younger. Well, won't be posting for a while, will be missing all the updates from the sites I visit daily, but I'll deal. When I arrive on Monday I have to probably go straight to work so basically I'm returning here on Tuesday, 'cause after work I'll jump straight into bed :)

For now I'll leave you with this drawing


Cheerioooooo

*^BLOODBUZZ OHIO(}

Matt looks like such a gentleman, love it! Very endearing

The National - "Bloodbuzz Ohio" (official video) from The National on Vimeo.

D.A. Pennebaker makes a guest appearance, he's a documentary filmmaker who's most well known work probably is Primary which I'm sure anyone who studied media and culture or something related to film has seen at least once in his/her life :P

*%ON YOUTUBE MAY 15(]

Just by watching this I already want to break out in tears



CANT WAIT TO SEEN THEM LIVE and I mean for real not on YouTube, though this is also very cool ;)

>{DRUM RUM RUM*%

The Drums played Jonathan Ross



I'm listening to Sleigh Bells' Treats at the moment so gooooood! They bring them beats hard

)_FOR TODAY I AM A BOY+]

This is what I've been wearing today and what I will wear again tomorrow and perhaps also on Thursday when I leave for Lille 'cause I think it looks nice :)

How interesting...

I'm exhausted from calling. I was already tired, woke up way too early, as usual. So I'm going to bed soon.

Ratatat's new video looks as if it has been verrrrrrryy expensive

#_WHAT I WAS WEARING YESTERDAY&*(

In case you were wondering :)

May 25th The Antlers, May 26th jj + Beach House :D

%#I'VE COME A LONG LONG WAY*(

Today it's mother's day so I'm at my parent's place, obviously.
Thursday I'll be in LILLE! :P

Let's talk about clothes that I want or looks that I like or something.
I still have a bit of trouble breathing...

I've been wanting a hat like the one this guy wears for quite a long time. Perhaps Marion can help me out! :)


And I love shorts and the pants the kid wears in the picture below. It's soft and kind of like the long john I have, kind of...


Of course this kid is not carrying the rug with him when walking outside, but it all matches quite well, doesn't it? Love the bordeaux sweater and the high cut jeans.


I'm a sucker for wearing shorts over a jeans or long john or pants. Dude looks cool. Good and simple use of colour.


Very simple, but what I like most is how long and straight it looks. And it just fits this kid real well. Well proportioned.


Found this one via Lookbook once. It's such a good eye popping raincoat. Sometimes one great item already makes for a really cool outfit and all you need is some nice and simple shoes and socks to finish things off.


I don't know if dude is wearing two pants or one high cut pants and a long one underneath or just long socks. But there's something happening right under the back of his knees.


I just love that kind of print this kid has on his pants and the black long socks or long john go very nicely with the black boots. And the way he wears his shirt as if the wind is blowing it open into a triangle form. Well done.


I've finally been falling in complete love with Beach House and I'm about to fall harder for Joanna Newsom than I ever did before. Why is it so expensive to see her??! I have a job now and all, so who knows, I'll go and see her! Besides, first year at the HKU I plan on doing the Bachelor in Fine Art but the teacher one, so that will cost me 1600 instead 7600 euros.

Oh Joanna...

This is when Beach House did a Black Cab Session, almost got teary eyed...



Victoria's voice is just too good

And this little band called Patch William is quite good also, they caught my attention because of the singer :P

Ooooooowww I have a funny feeling inside

This is me some time ago.
