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'.

Love will only do it

It is when you have sunlight on top, raindrops in the middle and dusk down here (I've intentionally avoided the word twilight). Melanie's such an expressive singer, as if a whole love-story would be written on her face. It's such a powerful performance that I can't stop listening to it.

Tingles down the spine

Updates coming soon, until then whistling day and night (let it out, let it out=).
P.S. Listen to the song!!!

Cenicero...dumb faces, slow hands

Make that two, please!

This is my favourite spring look. I love her hair. It reminds me of the time when I had short hair, too.

We're gonna die of global warming

If I were a guy, I'd totally fall in love with french girls...especially for a song like this.



And I'm so fed up with stupid code of manners and urge to do as we're supposed to do, while our mind (the general mind) is so infested with the idea of 'let's meet the expectations in order to be observed/accepted/appreciated/noticed/respected/loved'. Do we need that? I think the line 'I wanna dance like we used to' totally agrees with me on this subject. :))

What's the pattern of a fabric called music?

It must be truly eccentric that's for sure! I've closed the door and turned the music down to actually hear my thoughts. It's really hard, you know? In most of the cases we listen to music to shut the world out, but what I've noticed in the last couple of months is that I don't need to listen to something all the time. Maybe, as we grow older and older, we recognize our daily needs of silence. I carry this little piece of silence with me everyday in order to find something new that makes me excited and relaxed at the same time.

...But today I needed to listen to something that has an effect similar to that feeling when you start shaking your head to get your mind into shape again. I've suddenly found this little wake up call when I heard the first tunes of Roisin Murphy's 'Primitive'.

I admire this lady for a long time now, but I always find something new in her music, her stage presence and atmosphere that I sometimes can't get hold of. Whenever I see a live performance of Roisin Murphy (Werchter 2008 is one of the bests) I have this strange, goosebump-ish feeling of art, of music covering up every little part of your body and your skin is literally soaking in that mixture of tunes, voice, words, movement and crazy hats :) speaking of which, the outfits of this girl with the magic voice are just as her music- sometimes a little unwearable, hippi-ish, lively, sophisticated, sensual...I'd really love to go to one of her concerts.









Photos: I typed in Roisin Murphy and saved the interesting ones.

Murdoch on the Porch

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

Put an avocado in the coconut

...And 'in the back of dream car twenty foot long' I'm gonna shout out loud, 'well, this is life, baby, let's drive along this way', not knowing where we're heading, not knowing, where to stop... I couldn't stop thinking about this song today. David is an alien.

Counting down the Days (Tenderly, tastefully)

I just love that in almost every song from Interpol you could hear 'I love you'. It makes it all so painfully simple yet special...depressing in a way, but elevating at the same time. Tommorrow I'm heading to Wien to see them live. It's weird in a way, but I'm very curious about the way they sound live...seeing them face to face. But I think it'll be massive! :)

"Oh, how I love you
And in the evening, when we are sleeping
We are sleeping. Oh, we are sleeping"

Buffalo, orange and mango

The music...the music in this vid is great (The Phoenix Foundation- Buffalo)

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 :)))

Russian shoes and bodiless clothes on paper

Sorryz for abandoning you these days but have lots to do. Last Saturday I've been to a friend's studio to take some photos for a competition I decided to enter. Details will follow in a later post, until then here's a little teaser.

I'm taking salsa lessons for a while now so somehow these tunes are starting to make more sense.



...and don't feel bad about yourself because you have a certain thought or feeling, because that would only mean that you're denying your own personality. This might sound a bit boring, but there are certain things in my life that made me think about that. Just a thought. It might help. :)

Felix and the funky green shoes

I'm still thrilled about that Lajko Felix concert last Thrusday. It was such an unbelievable experience that I couldn't sleep that night because the tunes just echoed in my head. I wish I could find a way to express, impress and inspire the universe with something that close to art, and that close to a primordial substance contaning the soul, the mind, hate, love and a little hortobágyi palacsinta :)

Happy birthday, Mom!!

No words for that...

Been to a concert, heard magical sounds :)
Something like this:

Good old sounds

Nice, nice tunes, great memories...Aww the good old drum and bass.!!..and I think like High Contrast better and better now.

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!

festival, real time, music too beautiful

Got home from Campus Festival yesterday safe and sound, slept 17 hours, all my clothes are dirty. I saw some not-too-known but really-really-great bands, so here are some of the best ones:

festivaaaaal timeeee

Yepp, it's official, the festival season has just started!! It's only two weeks and I'll be having fun in front of a stage on hopefully manymanymany goood concerts. I've been trying to get together some ideas for this event...this is only a first idea, but some others are yet to follow.

Festival feeling by Misskatjes featuring Rebecca Minkoff bags

Summer, photos, supreme illusions

I have another version of this track on my mp3 player and yesterday I couldn't stop listening to it while being on the tram. The tune made the whole experience so unique and I imagined myself making a video for it. Now, this music I call inspirational!!
