VE-WHRONG-ICAS

I'm gonna talk about twins today. Lets start with Veronicas, the twins who try to get a lot of media coverage by trying to be curious about their sexuality or trying dramatically dress up and act like rebellious adolescent girls, with their odd piercing and whatnot. The worst thing about them is that most of their fans are under the age of 13. I'm not telling that it's bad for a band to have fans under 13, but between you and me, words like ''i feel so untouched, i want you so much. I go oh la la la'', should never come out of a little girl's mouth. (I'm thinking my 5-year-old niece right now, singing this and i find it quite cruel). The thing is that some bands have to stop predenting to dig it to seem alternative.

We live in such a materialistic, fractured, just-in-time society, that it's difficult to find bands that can take you into a deep black hole of an other worldly universe! This is an amazing feeling, and it's the least, of what it feels like when you’re listening to ''School of the Seven Bells''. The twins Alley and Claudia Deheza know the way to make their music work so well. I had the chance to see them perfoming live, supporting ''Bat for Lashes''. Sure, they have angelic voices, and not all ladies can harmonize like they’re in a professional church choir—certainly not every set of twins ( See The Veronicas case).

I remembered how sweetly this song brought tears to my eyes at the concert:

Here are some photos i took at the concert. Aren't they so amazingly beautiful? Yes, they are!

Lashings of Loveliness

The sun was beating down from above and at last we felt heat, natural heat. The air was still and I could almost see the plants stretch out and rejoice, but the most important, i went to TESCO with a short sleeve t-shirt! Harrey! My kids were weather forecasters at school today, it was fun. It was fun when they started arguing about which tv show is better: EastEnders (very popular British Soap Opera) or Friends. I was trying to tell them not to waste their time watching soap operas, but only Lia seemed to listen. Then i remembered that when i was their age i was watching Rosalinda, which is much worse than watching EastEnders.

''Kyriaaa, I'm Phoebe...Phoebe is weird, I'm weird too!''

I had to correct Lia in that Point that Phoebe is not weird, she is naïve and innocent, a wise generous and funny person. ''For these reasons you are allowed to be Phoebe's character Lia''.

I returned back home knackered and only one thing could save the situation: Listen to new Bat for Lashes, which i download from Torrents two days ago (i promise to buy the album as soon will be released). Since then i can't stop listening to it: ''Two suns'' is epic in scope and ambition and requires a similarly epic patience to unravel its charms, is at its heart a brilliant pop album. Natasha Khan was everywhere in 2007: She toured with Radiohead, played Glastonbury, was nominated for a Mercury Prize, became a unique fashion icon, But more importantly, Fur And Gold, an amazingly amazing and strangely strange album. I can tell though that the new one is twice as nice, look even Kanye is a fan, that's quite cool. This man sometimes surprises me. He is totally retarded but blogging about Natasha is a big bonus for Kanye!

Ιnitiated into mystical indie rock, listening to her hauntingly beautiful songs, i felt asleep. As a master story teller Natasha took me on an imaginary trip through animal kingdoms and magical dream sequences.

I woke up after four hours to discovered something really delightfull while i was surfing on Flickr's pages: I came across a gay couple from Canada. Photos are totally emotional and romantic. Is always good to see love meet art! One of my favorite combos.
