In this autumn season of many delights, I was about to skip Caribou, but then of course you have friends to pester you into going and there was that 9/10 review in NME which piqued my interest. So I duly started listening to the lavishly praised “Our Love’, and it was quite alright. The opening…
Enter Shikari @ A38
Enter Shikari concerts on A38 are probably, amongst many other things, the organizers’ way of making sure that the boat won’t get dislodged from the shore in case of earthquakes and such and that all that electrical wiring and stuff on the ceiling will stay there no matter how many band members decide to hang…
Early Autumn Lights
I love to follow the changing of the seasons in parents’ yard and garden, because it’s all so contained, I know every nook and cranny, so all alterations that would be small elsewhere, are very vividly noticeable here. Early autumn is almost never cold, but the light shifts into a muted hue, and all fruit…
Follow the Green Rabbit-Vienna for a Day
Really, honestly, I have no excuse. ( I faintly remember being told not to start sentences with really. Or were those but and/or because?) I just looked back onto this post and I realized I had not written anything about this particular weekend in Vienna. I might have been lazy (happens), or I might just…
Londonlove
Tumblr and Pinterest are filled with the major inspirational quote of how Paris is always a good idea, which might even be the case, but I have come to the laboured conclusion that London is just better. Or it’s maybe the English major speaking in me, who when faced with Trafalgar square for the first…
Trentemøller@Akvárium
In retrospect, it is a real pity that I did not manage to sneak in a shot of First Hate, whose singer looks like a first level IT support helpdesk agent whose body has been inhabited by the ghost of Ian Curtis, voice, moves and all. The real business started in a very Scandinavian manner…
New(ish) Street Art Round Up
The reason why I love walking to work, besides the recent study concluding that if you move enough you can reasonably hope that a can of soda here and there won’t kill you- and I WILL fight for my soda-is that I happen to cross the best neighbourhoods in town. I set off from the…
Austra @ Dürer Kert
This autumn promises to be the best in living memory when it comes to club concerts in Budapest- for while the city’s musical crowd cannot yet support arena concerts all that well, except the accidental Kylie or Gaga, club concerts should be the blast, especially on A38. Dürer Kert generally has a somewhat different, metal tinted…
The Unsuspected Isle-Corfu
The plumbing is still somewhat eccentric, Zeus occasionally gets upset and sends in a storm, even the cheapest wines are alright, feta tastes like feta and olives taste like olives and you realize how extraordinary that actually is, by some miracle people generally survive giant buses maneuvering on really narrow streets, Turkish coffee is transfixed…
Dub FX in Erzsébet Square
There was much comotion on Erzsébet square yesterday evening when the senior citizens of the area could not walk their minute dogs through it, Japanese tourists could not take satisfactory pictures of the fountain and all decent beer was gone in no time from the shelves of the closest supermarket. The reason behind this horror…
