Regina Spektor

Regina Spektor is definately my favorite musician. One of my favorite Regina Spektor songs is That time. Look at this funny video about the lyrics of the song.

Northern State

Since I saw them as the supporting act from Tegan and Sarah, I'm addicted to their music. Three girls from Long Island, USA, made these awesome rapsongs.

Normally, I'm not that kind of a gangster-rap-girl. But these songs aren't like P. Diddy or Eminem, no, they're.. different. I don't really know how to explain there music ^^

A part of the lyrics of their song suckamofo:
This one's going out to the democrats
Ya'll mothafuckas don't know where it's at
If we're gonna win in 2008
Can we please get a mothafuckin candidate?
Like I said before, normally I don't like songs filled with the words fuck and suckah and whatever, but I love this song!
Check it out yourself (suckamofo):

Tegan and Sarah!!

A week ago I went with my best friend Manon to a concert of Tegan and Sara in the Melkweg in Amsterdam.. I looked forward to it for like three months, and it was definately worth it! The concert was so awesome! Not only Tegan and Sara were great, the support act, Northern State, was also very good. You should really listen to some of their music (www.myspace.com/northernstate )

Here are some pictures we took in Amsterdam and during the concert:

music recommendation

Music in

Fridaynight was the first Music-in of this schoolyear. During a music in all the musical talent of our school shows his music skills. My best friend and me have been the hosts of this evening since..hmm I guess 3 years:

Manon and me, July 2006

Manon and me, July 2007

Manon and me, November 2005 (omg XD )

Well, This year, it went different. Manon was ill, so I had to do it all alone:

Luckilly for me, Kasper offered to help me with handing out roses to the participians ^^ All together, it was a nice evening, but next time I want Manon at my side again!

I have to go!

Just discovered Tegan and Sara are going to perform here, in Amsterdam! I have to go! Love their music. Especially "where does the good go" and "Walking with the ghost"

I can't explain whatkind of music they make. So just watch/listen to this video
