Hello my dear friends,

I'm having sudden moment of absolute joy and excitment about life.
Wanted to share it with you :)

Listening to my new favourite band on high rotation this week -
Mary and the Baby Cheeses - f@&*ing amazing experimental pop group from tel aviv. The singer has the wildest voice, like PJ Harvey meets Patti Smith, but entirely her own.

They sound 'very now' as my record label friend described them on thursday at NBI; with gorgeous cello and home-made theremin sounds by NRAN - my new favourite hardcore minimalist electro musician (gorgeous grungy sexy.... devoted); a fabulous looking instrument hybrid of coal scuttle and bbq grill, bowed by Gil, and the wonderful Mariya's voice and keyboard.


Check them out, book them, sign them... do it now!!!!


The gig was fun, it was a treat to hear the bridges through a serious sound system, those bass rumbles are something else.... and to have that live connection with an audience. Really looking forward to the on-site gorilla bridge performance in Ljubljana. More details on that after the fact. Danced until 5am to trashy pop music - and I mean britney, robbie, kylie - with the indie experimental electronic kids. Fun. Now about to run out and take Julaine to the nearest wool shop, take Lola for a test run in her stroller - going for my baby license, maybe, one of these days... if I pass the tests of not a. leaving the baby behind, b. driving her into a ditch or c. overturning her in traffic - and then we shall see what the night will bring. Torben sent a flier for Cosmik Disko at 8mm bar tonight, and his favourite cult Finnish band Circle are playing on Friday, can't wait for that!
