Too Late?Meh!

Tuesday 23 March 2010

Hey how the devil are you?I must apologize. A few very busy days have meant that the blog has taken some time on the side. The current post was saved to drafts for three months for many reasons. Well better never than late right?

Overall, 2009 has brought an excellent variety of memorable albums and after rummaging through countless hours of music this year, it’s now time to wrap it up here with my belated final year-end list.

*Photos By Me and Fran

Number 1: The Horror-Primary Colours
The album that soundtracked my year
The album that brought everything full circle
The album that showed the future
Favorite track:Do you remember




Number 2: The XX-XX
One of the new bands of late to write an actual album that graps you from start to finish.
Favorite track: Heart Skipped A Beat



Number 3: The Phoenix-Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
The best thing to come out of France since the croissant
Favorite Track: Rome




Number 4: Arctic Monkeys-Humbug
It's the time of the year where NME makes me lose a tiny bit of faith, when NME Awards shortlist is revealed. Why is AM' ''Humbug being allowed to make the shortlist for worst album. I agree it's miles away from ''Whatever people Say'', but it's still lyrically deft as ever and has some incredible riffs, surely making it one of the fav albums of 2009
Favorite Track: Dance Little Liar



Number 5: The Drums-Summertime! EP
I have no photos for this one, cause i haven't bought the album yet!!! You'd wonder where to go after something as perfect as the ''Summertime'' EP, wouldn't you? Well that's why the Drums are on top of the world with their perfect preppy haircuts.
Favorite Track: Submarine




Number 6:
Julian Casablancas-Phrazes for the Young
None of the can be first without the rest. End of story. Glass though has made it to be my favorite song of 2009. Hell YES!




Number 7: Grizzly Bear-Veckatimest
I found it to be the most cathartic and a emotional album of the year. Sometimes though you need the test of the time to confirm whether an album is one that you really love. Well i think that Veckatimest will pass with flying colours!
Favorite track: Foreground




Number 8: The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart-The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
It feels as if my Bloody Valentine forgot to release a late 80s album. The song ''this love is fucking right'' has soundtracked my trip to London. Skipping the sister part the song could have written for Me and Him.Favorite Track: This Love is Fucking right



Number 9: Girls-Album
Was the band that made me want like crazy to go to San Francisco. It's the album you can listen to when you're sad or happy or driving to work on a rainy Monday morning. The album itself is beautiful. It's heavy and it's about death, life, family,friends, lovers and all the important stuff. Thanks Girls.
Favorite Track: Lust For Life




Number 10: Yeah Yeah Yeahs-It's Blitz!
Long beloved by those who believe Brooklyn to be the center of the cultural universe, i'm not one of them. For me London is that place. Nevertheless 2009 was the year YYYs finally shook off their art-rock trappings. My indie hipsters have flew that disco Flag with success.
Favorite Track: Soft Shock



Number 11: Bombay Bicycle Club- I had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose
Too often it's bands with gimmicks or crap haircuts that grab attention, but for once a band that has written great songs and played amazing gigs has triumphed.Yey!
Favorite Track: Always like this



Number 12: Merriweather Post Pavillion,
Animal Collective always fitted uncomfortably in my playlist, but listening hard to Merriweather Post Pavillion, focus on each sound, analyze it, pull it apart then i realized that i can't live without it. Masterpiece!
Favorite Track: Brothersport




Women Do It Better

Monday 22 March 2010

The soundtrack of my weekend

To the ego, the present moment hardly exists. Only past and future are considered important. This total reversal of the truth accounts for the fact that in the ego mode the mind is so dysfunctional. It is always concerned with keeping the past alive, because without it - who are you?''Eckhart Tolle''

My friend Marios Ioannou performed fantastically last Saturday. The work ''Anti-war Songs'' directed By Emanuele Balzani is constituted by a Trilogy of monologues of tragic heroes of Euripides. Marios Delivered a great Performance as Helen, Clytemnestra and Iphigenia in Tauris. The 3 women are denouncing war. And we have a reason to denounce war in My Country!

At The Shop

It was cryptic and spindly, a warm and fuzzy, a slanted and enchanted an inverted and noisy, lo-fi and subtle weekend. Helena brought me to a lovely place in the Old Town to buy vintage sunglasses from Mrs Mary! The shop is the Paradise. Chryso was with us. I always forget about her. She always forgives me!

Sunday was even better. I spent my afternoon, with some of my students at the expo of Joan Miró. The exhibition continues until May 30th and will display more than 200 paintings, sculptures, engravings, drawings and sketches by Joan Miro.

Photos are not allowed, but i took secretly this one

And now about Oliver Spencer’s clothing range, which is what I had endeavored to talk about today, specifically their menswear line. Even though short is a strange item for men, I tend to be a fan, and those on offer from Oliver Spencer are nearing ideal. Check em out by clicking on the shorts


On a bleak Monday morning
holding my head
everything tastes right
permanent daylight

Flash Delirium

Friday 19 March 2010

66 55 red battleships
40 earthlike planets
3 holes 2 tits
1 fork in its side
zero tears in their eyes

Having my own flashing delirium, in front of my favorite mirror, while listening to Flashing Delirium, Yesterday!

I’m walking with spiders
