HEY MAN HEY HEY HEY MAN HEY MAN HEY HEY HEY MAN I WANNA HAVE A FIGHT WITH YOU

February 8th, 2010

I’m suffering from Monday aggression today, I think, but I wanted to let you know I was featured on Brinja’s blog yesterday! Every weekend she does a ‘What I wore this week’ post, featuring herself, her friends or other bloggers. I was quite honoured to be asked!
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday feature my new mohair dresses and blouse from Babbu, which I love!


I’ll go gather wood, and what I do, I’ll do good

We stayed here and it was quite enjoyable.

Half a bottle of wine, Deakin, who knows how many insanely overpriced vodka&redbull and Panda Bear. Kind of hard to focus, honestly!


And if anyone should cheat you, take advantage of, or beat you, raise your head and wear your wounds with pride

Yeah, dude, we had Ethiopian for dinner and it was awesome. We paid in Euros.
Check out those hands! You can tell they are saying something wise.


Why does it always have to end with humiliation for me?

Welcome to a (long) random Sunday post. First of all, this is what it looks like outside at the moment. I think I missed the memo that said Denmark had become a part of the arctic circle. It’s freezing!

My flatmate turned 32 this week. We had lamb in herb sauce with asparagus and red cabbage & sprout salad for dinner and chocolate cake for dessert. I gave him 20th Century Masterpieces EMI wrapped slightly girly.

vinyls

I’ve been playing these records a lot. They are Black Wooden Ceiling Opening 10″ by Mount Eerie, Ethiojazz by Mulatu Astatke, Vs. by Mission of Burma (2×180g re-issue) and Sapphie by Richard Youngs. Also on (very) heavy rotation is A Society in Which No Tear is Shed is Mediocre by Yonlu, which I cannot recommend enough (consider this my biggest hype since that time I went on a tiny rant about Dead Man’s Bones (which I know a bunch of you enjoyed). Imagine a cocktail of Elliott Smith mixed with the Life Aquatic Soundtrack topped with bedroom freakshow lo-fi and you’ve got this album. It’s incredibly intense, especially considering its history – recorded by a 16-year-old Brazilian kid before he committed suicide, released on David Byrne’s label, Luaka Bop, and cover illustrated by my favourite graphic novelist, Paul Hornschemeier. Honestly, I knew I was going to like this album before I even heard it and I hope you will give it a listen! It’s one of my favourite albums from 2009).

While this is sort of a break from Belgium photos, here are some things I bought when I was there. Some comics and a new bag! It’s See by Chloé and quite lovely if you ask me.

Lastly, I got these tights as a gift last night and I love them but I will post more about them later.
It’s the last day of January, just the coldest month of the year to go and hopefully Spring will come!
