 Those of you who know me, and I’m going to assume it’s all of those reading this blog, will know that Bon Iver is my favourite band. Perhaps the only band I can say that I honestly love whenever people ask me about my taste in music. I discovered Bon Iver in the Hong Kong HMV in Causeway Bay shortly after For Emma, Forever Ago was released in 2008. I was walking around and saw a band I was familiar with in one of the CD players. For the life of me I can’t remember what band it was, [...] 30 September, 2011 at 7.51 am
this has to be my favourite cover of all time. The original song was used by my dance teacher to inspire us to do hardcore sit ups, and then it got stuck in my head. 21 July, 2011 at 11.14 am
I’m getting pretty annoyed by how much gigs cost in Hong Kong. I’m seeing Bon Iver in October (22nd! BOOYAH), and that cost me 20 pounds. To see Elbow tomorrow in Hong Kong at Kitec (WORST VENUE EVER) will cost around 40 pounds. Tickets to see 30 Seconds to Mars next week will cost between 38 and 54 pounds depending on whether you want seated or free standing. Red Hot Chili Peppers in early August will cost between 30 and 70 pounds also depending on where you’re wanting to be seated. Friendly Fires in mid August is also costing [...] 20 July, 2011 at 8.44 am
I realise it was released last month BUT blame international shipping. My first vinyl. 12 June, 2011 at 2.03 pm
 I’m sitting at my gate at Beijing Capital Airport waiting to board a flight to Hong Kong. I’m surviving on one hour of sleep (3.30-4.30am) thanks to the fact that I just stuffed my face with a grande ice lemon tea and tomato and mozarella ciabatta (my first meal proper meal in about 20 hours – more on that in a bit). I’m also in a lot of trouble with my mother because I forgot to bring my phone out to the festival yesterday and only just realised that my phone has run out of credit. I don’t want [...] 20 May, 2011 at 5.05 pm
 So just a couple of days ago I preordered Bon Iver’s next album, entitled Bon Iver. That’s out 21 June. Part of me wants to go completely cray-cray on you now and declare that the release date of Bon Iver being so close to my birthday is clearly a sign. But I don’t want to sound like a crazy person. So of course, I won’t say that. I’ll just think it. But look at that cover art! Gorgeous. Also very exciting, is that Adele, Rosie & I are going to be [...] 12 May, 2011 at 3.13 am
I stopped watching Grey’s Anatomy a long time ago. I don’t remember when. I think sometime either end of Season 3 or beginning of Season 4, when Meredith’s whining increased tenfold. My desire to stop watching was cemented by the Writer’s Guild of America Strike, which encouraged me to stop watching all the shows that I was watching at the time (I couldn’t be bothered waiting any more). But whenever I think about it, I feel like I have the music team of Grey’s Anatomy to thank for my taste in music (I remember checking lists of the [...] |
