Kobiety | Women

I badly misjugded the popularity of Mirel Wagner. So only a few hours before the concert did I find out I was left with no ticket. The show was sold out! Well, of course. She is good and that is why I was planning to see her in concert :). But my short holiday took me away from the reality of concert booking. Mirel certainly would set me in a meditative, blues mood. Therefore, being already dissapointed with the lack of ticket, I decided to reward myself with a set of a total different sounds instead. On International Women's Day, Kobiety seems to be a proper choice. As a bonus a slick and probably the simplest video ever was served. Satisfied. I am not very demanding today.

What'll it take to make you people dance?!

Graham makes a good point again. Ellen and James surely wouldn't have such a problem. They simply make people dance. Well, and so does Graham. Just get up offa that thing and stay tuned as Graham's new album is in stores 2nd April 2012! Yeah! Oh, I wish March wouldn't exist this year at all!



Meet the director of the video Ninian Doff and those who dance in the video :)

in her musical way

It was simply ridiculous. The height of snowdrifts in the city was almost impossible to get through today. Plus the wind. Oh, joy. Well, in fact it was a jolly evening (even though I got a bit of a sinking feeling due to the works of  Elina Merenmies I went to see). Luckily all that was in a good company and ended in lovely Arkadia Bookshop with a witty concert of Catself that brought somehow Julia Marcell to my mind. For more music of Catself click here.



I'll be left with my wit that can hurt

don't let your blood run cold

A fresh start of a new week. Fresh? Indeed. Even though the reminiscences of David Bowie are somehow echoing here in a pretty inextricable way. But that's never bad I suppose. Infatuated with their True Romance, my ears are pleased to hear yet another good tune from Citizens!. This time with an appropriate chorus for taming winter effects: don't let your blood run cold. Oh yes. Reptile is to be released fashionably by Kitsuné, a quality label from Paris. Posh. Yep. Voilà!



Meet the director of the video Thibault Dumoulin.

a good (pop) song from Wolfgang

a good song from Django Django

this is a band to watch in 2012

a sweet good (night) song from Owl + Mouse

My British mode just keeps on continuing. Owl + Mouse (although originally from the Down Under) is a sweet master of ukelele released by Haircut Records.

brought to The Beta Band senses

I guess I suffer from a British sounds fever. Well, it's not a state of delirium but it's progressing pretty fast. I shall book a ticket to London right away :). It's just so easy and enjoyable to get infected with all these sounds. Django Django sweetly worsens the situation by a few more degrees. I really have a déjà vu feeling while listening to Default. Just as if I was brought years back when I discoverd The Beta Band.

Video credits goes to Dan Brereton & David Maclean and producers from Partizan.
