Canadian indie, a great deal of instruments, extraordinary stage presence

Arcade Fire is one of my great favorites, especially after I've stumbled upon their 2010 Reading performance. It's so good to see them on stage, being totally excited about their performance. It's infinite love for music in each and every tune they play. Btw, Régine is so cute in her glitter dress, especially while singing 'Haiti'.

Foolish though it may seem

Murdoch on the Porch

Discovered some great music today...I guess I like taking a walk in the cold:)

X says 'I love you' to Y in a brainstorm, or some crazy Hungarian music

Crazy rhythms and lyrics, it might not really make a sense, but still, it is very cleverly written and it's so elevating, like a new wave bombshell exploding and dissolving in my (and maybe others) microcosm. It reminds me feelings that were lost long time ago, relationships and old friends and frozen food and loneliness ('went down the subway to dream about friends') and suddennes and crazy, life-like moments at the same time. The band is called Kistehén (LittleCow) and the two songs are Vágjál hátba (Spank my Back)-the official video and the live version...I tend to like the live version more these days...and the other one is We want to do everything in the darkness. Enjoy :)))

Keep forgetting...or rather..keep listening??

I've just discovered a British band called The Cinematics. I have to say the play some great tunes. Yepp, that's me...I'm always returning to the good old indie for a while. By the way, I'm thinking of going to an Interpol concert this fall (Wien or Berlin, maybe...). Does anybody know something about these concerts? For instance, they are giving a concert in Coimbra, Portugal as well (in October) along with U2. Well, that would be truly amazing to see!

500 days of summer

I really liked the movie for several reasons: first of all, the music works unbelievably good with the story, along with the characters, the acting was great, the end was sad but hey, that's life, but the reason I loved it was of course, Summer (Zooey Dechanel), my no. 1. favourite because of the cute little outfits she wore and her nice, easygoing character. I'm writing these lines wearing a summer flower dress and high heels and I can't really explain how inspiring this movie was.
One of my favourite tunes from the movie:

....and the trailer, if you're interested...

Teenhood memories

It was around 1999 when I discovered Silverchair. I was so crazy about their songs that I was surfing the music channels for hours, just to see their videos. I even cried a little here and there because of that beauty and joy of the art of music I discovered in these songs. It's rock, it's grunge, call it whatever you like, it's great to listen to even today. Haha, it's so funny, I remember that feverish teenage enthusiasm when I entered the first internet cafe to google the lyrics of these songs. I wrote them down and learned them by heart and I was sooo happy. I kind of miss those days. Anyways, here's Ana's Song and Miss you love. :)

Sound, silence, beauty, peace

Mondtam volna már? The Visitor az egyik kedvenc filmem, főként Tarek, a főszereplő miatt, mert talán ez a jazzklubos jelenet a legemlékezetesebb, legmeghittebb pillanat, amiben csak úgy izzik a karakter, teljes fényében megcsillan lelke szépsége. Egy őszinte vallomás dalban, mosolyban, gesztusban, egy más kultúra nyelvén, ami egyszerűen és hazugság nélkül melengeti a lelket, mint egy puha ágy, egy finom ölelés.
