January Jubilations :)

-
Hello there people :)

Before you get your monthly dose of music, I just want to post a quick little something about my super awesome January. To keep it short, this is what I've been up to:

I read books.
I bought dresses. And a denim jacket.
And some sparkly eye-shadow.
I was pretty :)
I celebrated a big important birthday.
This is what my birthday day looked like. Oh yes, I got a new camera, so I can take even nicer pictures for my blog now :)
in other news:
 I ruled the dancefloor!
I applied for jobs.
And then I bought me a CD (and a calendar) as a reward :)
 


As for that CD, Gabrielle Aplin's English Rain, I think it's safe to say that you may soon expect a special post dedicated to the album :) 

January has been one of the splurgiest months for me in a long while, but I figured I am allowed to treat myself a little, since it was my birthday. Also I had some gift cards that I got for Christmas, so they came into good use and resulted for example in these lovely collections of patterned paper: 

my paper crafty Christmas pressies :)
I've also started some serious sorting through hundreds of photos from my Ireland /bits of England trip from more than 7 years ago, because I want to have a selection of the photos printed and make some sort of a physical album/scrapbook/pretty crafty thing to remember the trip. Given that to this day it has been the only time I set foot on British soil, which is ... tragic, I hold it as a crucial little bit of my life and I want to have something nice to recall it by. Other than a pile of postcards, maps and tickets. I expect that this project will be one of the more long-term ones, but I will make sure to update you on the progress when something happens.

Oh and Hudson Taylor replied to my comment underneath their new song on YouTube :)

All in all I wouldn't mind having January all over again, but alas, we must move on.
How was your beginning of the new year? I hope 2014 has been treating you nicely so far! :) Talk to me in the comments. I will talk back :)

Don't forget to vote in my little poll over in the right bar, where you can have your say on what kind of content you like to see on here! 

I will see you soon with some January music. Take care for now. xx

Hudson Taylor at Electric Ballroom

Well aren't you good at patiently waiting for me to get it together? I hope the following music-y ramblings will not disappoint you. In all honesty, the timing of this post could not be any better, because Hudson Taylor's debut album has only just been released in Ireland and for the rest of us the wait is almost over. Trust me, 23rd March will be here sooner than you think. Head over to hudsontaylormusic.com to find out about how and where you can pre-order it. (Or indeed, purchase if you have the proverbial luck of the Irish :) ) Now, let me once again take you back in time, to last summer, 5th June 2014, if you want me to be date specific. On that memorable day I strolled around Regent's Park and in the evening I went to my first (and hopefully not last) concert in London. I've already talked about the supporting musicians: Kimberly Ann and the oh so amazing Flyte (still not over them!), but now comes the time to talk about the music that I

Milé divadlo, chybíš mi!

Dnes je Noc divadel. Měla jsem být.. hádejte kde. Nikdy dřív jsem se Noci divadel neúčastnila, nebyla odvaha/s kým jít, ale moje posedlost láska k divadlu je čím dál silnější, a letos to mělo vyjít. Měla jsem to všechno naplánované. Měla jsem dnes být v divadle. A nejsem. Všichni víme proč. Také všichni víme, že se pravidla, respektive možnosti toho, jak divadelní představení (ne)smějí fungovat, mění téměř před očima a záhadně, občas trochu proti zdravému rozumu. Nejnovější perlička: “Divadla smějí hrát, ale bez diváků.”… Ne, nebudu to tady komentovat, nemá to smysl. Je rok 2020. Nic nedává smysl. Místo toho raději napíšu o tom, proč divadlo miluju, co mi na něm chybí a proč je živý zážitek z představení nenahraditelný. Takový malý milostný dopis pro divadlo.

Music Monthly: September 2013

I am not even going to try and come up with an apology for this article being 2 weeks late. It just is. Deal with it :) Why not take a little mid-October brake from digging in the back of our closets, searching for where the heck are all the gloves and scarves and warm wolly sweaters, make yourself and nice cuppa of something warm and listen to a couple of songs I assembled last month. As always, it's a little bit of everything: mainstream, indie, folky... I hope you find something you like. First up, yet again, Hudson Taylor . One more song and then I'll shut up about them. Haha, as if :D  First they would have to stop producing such lovely and heart warming music and that is unlikely. (New EP is out now, go get it on iTunes!) Anyway, this is about September and there was one song in particular that spoke to me more than the others. It's one of their oldies, from a couple of years back, and it's called "Concrete Walls" . Sadly, I must say that a lot of t
