Peter,Bjorn & John -Second Chance
After dreaming and thinking about it i made the decision and i'm going to Sweden for a week next April/May.
Now i just need to:
Save money
Find a hotel
Inform my Swedish relatives so I have someone to show me around.
The last time i saw my Swedish uncle was 6 years ago and my aunt was 5 years ago when they came to Holland.
I never even met their children so i hope there will be a click.
Oh Sweden, i hope that the dream trip i have in my head will be the real real deal

tUnE-yArDs - 'Bizness'
I don't know why but the first time i heard a Cults song it made me happy.
Their album is set to be releases end of may and it's already streaming on some places on the internet.
I hope the rest of the album will make me just as happy.

SebastiAn - KINDERCUT
What a lovely day Wednesday i had.
Despite having to race to school, because i didn't hear my alarm clocks for the umpteen time.
After that i came home to get ready for Shrell 's arrival to Rotterdam for our little Rotterdam shopping trip.
You can probably guess it but I fell asleep and had to rush to meet her at Rotterdam central station.
When i arrived the train we needed was just ready to leave but the uber nice train conducteur saw me running so she waited and Shrell and me jumped into the train.
Destination: Primark!
Downside was that there wasn't really that much nice at Primark.
I ended up buying a pair of lovely camel peep toe wedges and a camel coloured handbag.
After Primark it was time for the following
Never before did i see the store that full but it was all good fun.
I even ended up winning a €20 voucher and bought a knee length skirt and metallic brown blazer with it.
Some of the people in the store were good style inspiration, even if i did see my second Amber Rose style copy of the day.
River Island should do things like this more often in Rotterdam, it was good fun.

Monday
Friday and Saturday are two complete different days
London Calling is over and i saw enough!
I'm not a critic i just like or don't like some things about music things and talk about them, so here is my opinion.
Day one
Braids
The sound wasn't that excellent but they played convincing enough to make me forget that
Cat's Eyes
didn't come across that well but i liked the record 7
Miami Horror
were a little too glamrock for my liking but energetic fun to watch 5
Trophy Wife
brought good dancey music 7+
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti
I already knew who they were but never bother do get into them.
Maybe now after seeing them live i maybe will because the songs weren't that bad but i just wasn't enjoying it 6.5
Foster the People
saw them in the big screen but the sound didn't come across that good
The View
same good working formula they had four years ago and that's not a bad thing 6+
Day two
2:54
first thing i thought was they sounded like Blood Red Shoes if Laura May was in another band and never met Steven. Thank gosh Blood Red Shoes do excist but 2:54 has to grow a bit more 6+
Flash Guns
They played the festival last year and i liked the ep that came out that time, now they have a lp coming out and i'm looking forward to listing to it! 7.5
Ra Ra Riot
A band that never really sticked even after listening to 'The Rhumb Line' a few times. Live they came across much better and i was surprised that i enjoyed their performance. 7.5
Dry The River
I heard one song, looked up one perfomance on youtube and i knew i could enjoy this band. I did they were so one point and talked with the audiance.
I'm a fan 8
Cults
Fun but they were a small band playing in the big venue and that made them lost their magic that they have gotten from their internet fame.
'You know what i mean' their new single sounded amazing live, she has a voice on her. 7.
Sparrow and the workshop
You can't like everything and just like 2:54 they need some more time 6-
The Crookes
A perfect band for a festival like this, British? yep Good looking boys? yep! Good album out? Yes all that toghetere with the suns that just went down made their perfomance a happy happening 7.5
Wild Beast
I love them, i love them, i love them they cannot do any wrong. 9+
Yes even though i love them so i am a realist. It's is always possible that their next performance can be worth that 10
Twin Shadow
they way they translated their album to the stage was amazing! the songs sounded different but still familiar. Oh i might fall in love with this band. 8
No pictures were made which is a shame but what can you do.
Well i can wait 6 months for the second edition of London Calling Festival and go with a camera i guess!

Sunday
Reality check
Dry the River -New Ceremony live at The Lexington
Reality hits hard, so hard it left a mark on my face that only i can see.
I didn't went to Walk The Line after all because of three reasons.
1. i didn't have enough money
2. my concert buddy wasn't around i think he forgot about it, but i kind of expected that from him
3. third and biggest reason because i was too worried about school.
I have so many things to finish that i'm too scared to make a list because i honestly believe that would take up all my time. That's how much i have to do.
I can only hope, dream and work towards to when this, the last school term of my first year is over i will have something good to close it with.
No worries and feelings of self doubt just a positive accomplished feeling that i did it. The knowledge that i can do this and be good at it.

Saturday
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.
"Reach A Bit Further", "Bed Of Nails" and "Deeper" from the album "Smother" (Domino, may 2011).

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.
Thursday
High summer contact
'Contact High' and 'Summer' are two songs that are in my ultimate summer songs list.
Too bad the sun isn't cooperating today...ah well only six day until i leave for my sunny holiday destination!

A sunny afternoon, breezy evening and heart warming night
Cults-Go Outside
Volunteers only got one day to visit the festival and because i really wanted to see Lykke Li, i chose to only see her at Motel Mozaique.
This means i'll be missing Dum Dum girls for the third time and won't be able to see No age or Eklin after all.
I won a guest list spot and +1 to No Age thursday but had to give that away because i couldn't find anyone to fill the plus one spot.
you will not believe how disappointed i was, but those feelings went away when i heard that my H&M order was delivered.
Missing an amazing live concert for FREE was shit, but winning them in the first place is a sign that my luck is coming back.
Now i have my luck back and my perfect in between season coat.
*picture to come soon*

Fantastique Mozaique
la Boutique Fantastique- Here Comes
Only 5 days until Motel Mozaique, i've been waited for April to begin just for this festival.
This will be my forth year attending and volunteering for a free entrance to the festival.
My shift is on friday during some performances that would have been fun to experience, but i have to check in people sleeping at a certain Motel Mozaique location and that's something new for me so my shift can easily be just as fun as the performances.
Another bright side is that my shift ends at 23.30 so i can still catch the 00.30 Lykke Li show and the live music+film experience from No Age called No Age vs The Beer.
The saterday is filled with more acts and acts i actually have to choose between.
Dum Dumb Girls are a definite must see for me but i have to choose between going to Eklin or No Age.
I could choose seeing half of each concert but a full venue really means full...decisions, decisions ,happy this is a fun decision.
