Onvervreemdbaar

Ane Brun - Do You Remember.




Dit wordt ons niet ontnomen: lezen,
en ademloos het blad omslaan,
ver van de dagelijksheid vandaan.
Die lezen mogen eenzaam wezen.

Zij waren het van kind af aan.

Hen wenkt een wereld waar de groten,
de tijdelozen, voortbestaan.
Tot wie wij kleinen mogen gaan;
de enigen die ons nooit verstoten.


Ida Gerhardt

Picnic at night, Jagerland , Rauw and a melkweg date.
Four missed chances in four years.

R.I.P. Dj Mehdi

You will read good things in the near future.

Such hope...

Peggy Sue: Cut My Teeth





Almost two week ago i was rushing to the cinema and there the above was.
Glowing big and bright up in the air, words that can only give a pessimist more faith in his way of thinking.

I googled and found it was a light sculpture from Filip Gilissen, a Sint-Lukas University College of Art & Design in Brussels student.
10 x 12 m, 1000 lightbulbs , 40.000 watt and boy it was bright.



Cut My Teeth is the first free track of the new Peggy Sue album 'Acrobats'.
Their second album after the amazing 2010 debut 'Fossils and other Phantoms'
For the release of their new album they're doing a little tour but only UK dates.

From their 2010 tour i missed them at Walk The Line festival but managed to catch the last 20 minutes at Lowlands a few months later.
I even bought a t-shirt and managed to have a quick chat with one of them.

Here's hoping there touring schedule will include Holland

Mimi wo sumaseba

Dutch Uncles - X-O




Titel translation: Whisper of the Heart.
I have been watching Studio Ghibli films yesterday and i loved this one.
Oh Shizuku you fantastic fictional character, you will be my hero for this lost year

Yoku : I don't get it. I'd write everyday. We'd encourage each other.
Shizuku : You can't say "Go for it" to someone more ambitious than you

Sunday

Did you know the Romans didn't called anything blue?

Wild beasts - Bed of nails (acoustic session) by mouxlaloulouda


For example when they would look up to the sky they would say something like what a beautiful bronze sky instead of calling the sky blue.

I spend last evening watching four hours of QI and that's the only fact i remembered.
The rest will come back to me when i least expect it, just wait for it.

Thursday Cherrelle came to Rotterdam for a little visit and we ended the day at the Store opening of Monki.
Fun crowd and atmosphere but we could only stay for one hour, because i had to go to work.
We missed out on a thrilling game of bingo and who knows what else!
At least they had cute lollipop cakes and delicous cookies we managed to grab before leaving


As a birthday present Cherrelle gave me a garlic squeezer (a little joke) and a one line a day journal.
I had such a Barney Stinson moment realizing people do read my blog even though it's a random blog.



page out of Keep Calm and Carry On book i bought in London a few weeks ago.
A page to remember.

i love her blog


Balam Acab -Oh, Why


exceedingly good keex

Yes i am ashamed because i only musically know Akiko from the big Pink where she plays the drums.
I really should give the other band she plays in Comanechi a listen.

I do like the Comanechi t shirt.


I have no idea how i stumbled onto her blog, it must have been something Klaxons related me being the klaxons fangirl i was at the time.
I'm glad i did find it, food, music, nights outs, randomness, food oh i love scrolling through exceedingly good keex

Thursday

a brand new year...

A Very Potter Sequel - The Coolest Girl




Image taken from flickr via tumblr

September, the month of a new school year and pretty much the end of summer fun.
I'm turning 24 two days from now and i am pretty much dreading the whole obligated birthday party my mother is throwing me.
At least there will be cake!

The song is from A very Potter Sequel and i just love it and Bonnie Gruesen's voice.
If you don't know AVPS is the second Harry Potter musical made by StarKid Productions.
The first one was 'A Very Potter Musical' oh the songs, the jokes, the quotes Team Starkid all the way!
