my mind is open wide

And yet again SBSR and all the good people there proved to be worth coming to this corner of Europe. And by this corner I mean Portugal :)

I follow... faltam 2 dias

I follow my so far one-year-old tradition and so here I am counting days to Super Bock Super Rock. 2 days left. Wonderful line-up with Lykke Li on the top of my list.

Today I woke up in a new place of mine. Such a liberating feeling!

won't let the city destroy our love

Patrick in summer sounds is so much more cheerful! :) His new album Lupercalia is out now.

a good song from The Dimes

crowd inspired song

Imogen Heap ranks among my favourites. Her concert in November 2010 was probably my best birthday gift ever. She seems to be on the same wavelength as I am. A remarkable artist. It's really inspiring to see how she embraces technology and make the most of it not only in a musical sense but also in a sense of connecting and breaking the barrier between artists and their fans. Now she has embarked on a new project of writing "crowd inspired" song every three months. Exciting! The first one is called "Lifeline". See and read more on Imogen's use of Twitter and other ways of social networking. And why not asking Imogen a question? :)

Hundred times funkier than Black Eyed Peas

I have the best neighbours in town. I just paid a visit to my Ukrainian and Russian friends and they are just irreplaceable! Oh, how I'm going to miss them when I will be living in a new place... luckily I am not moving that far away :). Speaking of Ukraine and moving out - one band comes immediately to my mind - RotFront - Emmigrantski Raggamuffin Kollektiv. It's quite a suitable name. After all my zdies' emigranty (We Are Immigrants Here) as Gretkowska wrote. Get funky!

a sweet song from Asi Mina

over borders, over frontiers!

Time travels at illegal speed! (Or was it love as Graham claims?) Having been caught up in a whirl of work and travels I've just realised that it's already mid of July. And today, on the seven day of the week, in the empire of the senses I was somehow brought to the melodies of Sting whose concert I saw exactly ten years ago. As summer approaches I pick up one of Summoner's summery song from the unmistakable The Dream of the Blue Turtles album. Splash, it's the seventh wave, I say!
