Music worth sharing
With a new season comes a new music mood -or so it is with me anyway, and because I’ve got some new songs on my most played list recently I thought I’d share them with you all. First I’d like to say something about these amazing headphones you see on the picture below. I’ve seen ...

An acoustic session with Kodaline
Last monday I had the opportunity to meet Kodaline at the headquarters of Sony Music Belgium. I discovered Kodaline thanks to Leila from Smosblog. She showed me the video of the beautiful song “All I want” and I was immediately hooked. I have to admit that this song makes me a bit emotional. The video is so ...

Urbanears Plattan Tweed Edition
Meet my favourite accessory of 2012: the Urbanears Plattan Tweed Edition. These headphones are simply genious. They look awesome, are collapsible and the sound quality is phenomenal. But wait! There is more: First of all I’m a total sucker for fabrics with a story and especially for tweed. And this isn’t just regular tweed: it’s ...

Frànçois & the Atlas Mountains
Indie folk-pop in French can easily turn cheesy, but Frànçois & the Atlas Mountains luckily didn’t fall into that trap. The concert during Les Nuits du Botanique was cute, but especially because of the two percussionists there was still enough body to their music. Frànçois himself was cute too, as my friend Hugo (thanks for ...

Pony Pony Run Run

Great Lake Swimmers
The Great Lake Swimmers concert made me want to cuddle next to a fire on a camping during a summer sunset. That was exactly the vibe I had during their gig in Botanique. It was my first time at the venue and I had a wonderful evening. It was striking how humble the band was. ...

The Big YOU
How can we say no to a pretty, pink UPR invitation, right? In fact, it was the first time we got invited to a UPR event and of course, we were very thrilled! The lovely people who organized the event stayed mysterious and obviously wanted to make us curious: mission accomplished! Unfortunately I had to ...

Gotye
Els gave me for my birthday a ticket to see Gotye with her. I was so happy because I love going to concerts. I have to admit that I only knew two songs of Gotye. So this concert was a discovery of their album. What I liked the most about the concert was their use ...

Every year around mid-July, I get this kind of “festival fever”. Yes I think you know what I’m talking about. People who know me, know that I am a huge music fanatic. To fulfill this need, I go to the best Belgian festivals each year. Unfortunately, only Pukkelpop is on my list this year. I ...
