Melancholic beauty, a song by Laura Gibson Shadows on Parade

On any given day, I find myself at this tram stop. Today, I looked up for a while.

A song about light and love… amongst other things: Element of Crime, Blaulicht und Zwielicht

Und nun für mich ein bisschen Zeitvertreib …..

I’ve stepped away from my desk and will be returning mid-week or so.

A concert in Fribourg from these fine folks will be keeping my ears happy while I’m away.

A while back, I mentioned a little place that I like to call Erika. Well, I’ve been spending more and more time with Erika and there’s been ink and there’s been graphite and there’s been gouache. We’re having a jolly good time really. I’m hoping to show you more some day soon.

For today, a nice little song by Woodpigeon I Live A Lot of Places

The beauty of her under electric light, Tears my heart out every time.

This is a local antique shop at night. The song lyrics are from PJ Harvey.

So I went to the Pet Shop Boys concert on Zürich and my ears are still happily dancing.

Love them! Really love them!

The other thing that I love is looking forward to a holiday away from home.

I also like that you’re celebrating with me! So nice of you!

*Replies:

Maria and Cissi: I can only recommend seeing the Pet Shop Boys in concert if they are playing in a city near you soon.

Brit: I’m liking your photos a lot. I’ll definitely stop by your blog from time to time!

Nathalie: The photo was taken just before landing at Zürich Flughafen.

Sulu: You make me blush. You are the sweetest!

Lotte: I should have guessed that you like the Pet Shop Boys too! You’ve got good taste in music, my dear.

Sandra: You won’t be disappointed in the concert, I promise, promise, promise!

Just returned from the ATP Festival in Minehead, England. It was certainly a place where my ears had a lot of fun.

Some of the delights included:

Foals

Dianogah

Bon Iver

Before and after the festival, I got a chance to make my feet nice and tired in London. More photos to follow…

Replies:

Chelsea:  You are right. Bon Iver is fabulous. He has stories to tell, that’s for sure. He’s powerful on stage.

Lea: Thanks for looking forward!

Esti: Lykke Li makes great music. It always puts me in a good mood.

Thereza: I like *sighs*!

Today the bees were happy.

Song for a lovely, slow Spring day: Andrew Bird featuring Dianogah, Lull

When all else fails, why not just be in “lull”…

The light came out in stripes to greet me as I was leaving the office today!

How nice?!

Another nice surprise today, a few of my favorites bands playing at the Open Air St. Gallen Festival this summer!

Hooray! Friday has finally arrived! Thank goodness. I hope that everyone survived the week and that you have some delicious plans for the weekend.
