Deal of the day


I know I had to watch Narnia 3 times to realize it, but, my God, is prince Caspian hot!

Fru-watch


Just something I learned today, with slight regret, from Q's website (after beeing thoughtfully announced by Diana as well):

"Fru-Watch:

A few more news outlets are picking up on John Frusciante leaving Chili Peppers. Fru-watch are retreating into a corner violently shaking our heads"

PS: wish I had written something about snow, but I have no photos yet :( Truth is I just love Bucharest right now. Been listening to Carol of the bells all morning :D

Music is my aeroplane


So here it goes, what I could have seen and I would have loved seeing, had I been to this year's Galstonbury:

Kasabian
Regina Spektor
Emiliana Torrini
Lisa Hannigan
Cashier No. 9
Amadou & Mariam
Blur
Bloc Party
Ting Tings
Jason Mraz
Peter, Bjorn and John
The Prodigy
Glasvegas
The Big Pink
The Noisettes
Just Jack
Black Eyed Peas

And that's just one festival. Long list, you say? I give you another one:

Oasis
Travis
Kasabian
Glasvegas
Amy MacDonald
Gogol Bordello
Manu Chao
The Killers
Guano Apes
Yann Tiersen
Les Ogres de Barback
Patrice

The things I did get to see this year. Now you see, the first ones have split up (for now), so that might as well have been one of their last gigs, Gogol and Manu I got to see for the 2nd and 3rd time, Kasabian became (even if for a short while, to be magically replaced by Snow Patrol) my favourite thing after that gig, Guano Apes were for free, les Ogres sang beautifully for around 4 hours and the Killers came with some other bands as filler to my mind. So you do the math, coz I think we're on the right track here.

Q

Nu cred, chiar nu cred. I have to say I thought about something like this, but I just rejected the thought like something too far stretched to be guessable. I can't think of many other times (or any time at all, in fact) when I got what I wanted, on any given occasion, without specifically mentioning before what it was that I wanted. You are a mind reader and you made my day. For this you deserve a blog entry. Cheers and lots of luck wherever you end up, Elena x
