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.

Back to life, back to reality

My vacation is over and even in Aruba and Curucao i didn't stop being busy with school.
I had an amazing time doing seeing and buying a bunch of nice things over there.
Straight after landing i gave my suitcase to my father to take home with him to go celebrate my oldest friend Cherrrelle's birthday, but that's another story.
Being back home just means i'll be spending more time doing my school work, not a bad thing because i'm just developing myself.

Talking about developing, the new Wild Beast album 'Smother' is amazing!

I'm glad i fell in love with them nearly 4 years ago when i heard 'Limbo, Panto'
Actually Wild Beast (the band) really are the only love i've had the last years.
Seeing them live was a bit of a rut/itch thing but the love never died and is even stronger with this album.

Which way to turn when we're lost

Oh how i love Wild Beasts, you probably can guess i'm counting the 32 days unitl i see them at the London calling festival

I would really like that Wild Beasts t-shirt and this one is even on sale right now!
The artwork is the artwork from the 'We still Got The Taste Dancin' On Our Tongues' single.

It's on sale because their new album 'Smother' is to be released on May 9th on Domino, but probably will come out a bit later in The Netherlands.
I haven't seen any art from the new album so i'm very curious what that will look like.

Mercury Prize

I was rooting for the above artists(Laura Marling, Wild Beasts especially Wild Beasts and Villagers) and the xx who won.
I still love the album so i'm glad there is probably going to be some pressure on them what to do on the second one now...

Foals were also nominated and some people would probably always doubt my taste after this confession but till this day i don't really like the new Foals album.
*pfew* there i said it and i actually don't care what people think about me now.
