music

wow, wow, wow!

so yesterday was seriously on of the most amazing days ever. i got a ticket for the fm4 frequency festival for free on short notice and immediately drove off to st. poelten. after finding a parking spot i found out i still had to take a shuttle to the festival area. after getting there i stood in line for over 45 minutes in the guest list line… at least i got a great tan in the burning heat. the last bummer was that they wouldn’t let me take my SLR inside, which i think is the most stupid rule. why can people take their cameras inside, only SLR ones are not allowed? BUT smart me had a plan B and hid my manual SLR in my bag, which they didn’t find. so next week, when the rolls will be developed you will get to see some photos 🙂

so after seeing TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB (awesome!), CLUESO (really cool!) and THE NATIONAL (breath taking!) i bumped into vicky sweetie from ellevictoire and sabina/david from broken cookies. so we actually ended up in a cool blogger-festival-gang. we saw INTERPOL (crazy!), KAISER CHIEFS (incredible!) and THE KOOKS (absolutely no words!). unfortunately i had to go back to vienna and had to do the 1 hour drive back at 1 in the morning. thanks red bull, for saving me!

here’s some cell phone videos, my manual photos will follow soon!



obsessions #1

 
Since I am a little computer geek, who spends a loooot of time in front of the screen, there’s so many things on the internet I am obsessed with and that I’d like to share with you. When I am at home there’s always music playing and I am on the constant look out for new artists. One thing I have fallen in love with over the past years are music blogs. I have a couple of favorites but my steady number one has always been DAYTROTTER. I love it so much, they should hire me to promote them. I love not only the music, the design, the illustrations but also the fact that they put so much thought in how to make everything work. The usability is so user friendly and it’s so easy to download free music. They always host musicians for studio sessions, which you can download absolutely free (4 tracks per session!).
