.alla finestra.

Sitting, the rays of the sun burning my back, it is a good feeling, a sort of rebirth. Paolo Conte sings into my ear, last night's lack of sleep makes me feel in a dreamy-drowsy way and I like it so.

Tra le tue Braccia

Scuserai
questo inverno di foglie
e i pensieri che
vanno scalzi per lontane vie
via da te...via da me...

è un privilegio stare con te,
dolce persona vicino a me

Sentirai tra le dita
il respiro e la voce mia
che ti invita al mare,
o quel che sia...
sentirai, sentirai...

è un privilegio stare con te,
tutto è distante
niente lo è...

è un sortilegio
vivere in te
dolce persona vicina a me...

. in a sentimental mood .

Duke Ellington and John Coltrane playin'. I'm rather not sentimental now, but more in jazz classics mood. I watched Bird yesterday, the story of Charlie Parker. It's crasy how talent can be difficult to bare.

.bon weekend.

I am going to the eco-festival Kuzca with my friend Emma this week end. 

It should be good fun. 

I hope you'll have a relaxing week-end. 

Let the music play! x.

(P.S: I love their poster!)

.NYC.I.Miss.You.

Ok, I keep writing it, saying it, dreaming it, but I think I've been marked for life by New York. It's been some weeks I have that recurent dream, that I'm walking in the streets of Brooklyn, then down to the subway, missing the train, the one to the airport. In my dreams I always miss the last plane to Paris and stay there, strolling back to the brownstones... Today, I'm quite (-very-) nostalgic, and the radio is not helping - on air : Anthony and the Johnsons Fistfull of Love. 

Have a happy weekend...

.girl crush nº2: Lisa Jaeggi.

Lisa Jaeggi is a Brooklyn based singer-songwriter. I discovered her via Backyard Bill's photos, went over to her website, and now I can't stop listening to her music. Check it!

.girl crush: Lianne La Havas.

I'm not the first and won't surely be the last to have fallen completely in love with Lianne La Havas. She was born in London in 89 -!!!!- and writes her own songs. 

I hope you like her too... 

P.S:the girl has some swag!

Evening music, listening to Bill Evans thanks to my cousin Julia who posted a video on facebook. 

He's just a love face!

dimanche.

At last...

I would like to wish you a nice week-end,
but first I'd like to say "bon voyage" to Etta James.

Life's too short, so please enjoy it!

Sophie Hunger.

Love the broken-voice of this girl covering Noir Désir's "Le Vent nous portera".





Sophie Hunger is a singer-song writer from Switzerland. More info on her

The Red Rum Orchestra.

This past week,
my brother Baltazar -the one in middle of the poster-
and his band The Red Rum Orchestra were rehearsing in Correns.
It made the days a bit more cheerful and lively.
I couldn't really define them,
but it's more rock than folk, but still not totally rock either...
A nice mix of styles and personalities!

They play on saturday the 14th of january at 9pm/21h
in Hyères (83-France) at Théâtre Denis (12 cours de Strasbourg).

Go and enjoy -it's free!- or visit their myspace!

.2012.Resolution.Nº1.

"I know I can be what I wanna be",
I make the vow to apply this sentence.
2012 will be the year of Renewal.
It has to!
I hope it will bring you love and peace of mind.

Runaway.

Can't get bored of Kanye West yet.

Fior di Nha Esperança...

Cesària Evora 27.08.1941-17.12.2011.

I've already writen here how much I loved Cesaria Evora.
Her voice crafted my ears throughout years.
She passed away two days ago,
aged 70,
and it feels like a hole,
but I'll keep her always in my heart!

Gatekeeper.

Listening to Feist.

(Wearing COS cardi; Nice Things blouse; vintage pencil skirt; h&m belt.)

Remember last summer.

Puerto Rico? No, Brooklyn, NY.

Come monday night.

Nagymama.

Just stumbled upon that song of Lana del Rey, made me think of my grand-mother. She is the wisest person I know. An artist. Always listening, always saying the right thing. She is 85 and still works on a new book. She wrote lots of them, about weaving, natural dye, minerals... My cousin Dóra wrote an article about them here.

Little story: she never smoke in her whole life, but one cigarette and there is a photo of it.

All the boys and the girls...

Tonight was my friend Elena's last "Bric-à-Brac" show on Radio fabrik.
This was the last song.
God, Françoise Hardy was so beautiful and still is!

It's bit pathetic, but I kind of recognize myself in the lyrics...

The more I see you...

Just heard Chet Baker on the radio.

What is there to say?

Just look at these pictures and listen to some of his music...
