The first-ever edition of Stockholm Music and Arts Festival was packed with some awesome artists in its line-up. How could I ignore Björk and Antony and the Johnsons? The festival was set in the small island of Skeppsholmen in Stockholm. It’s a gorgeous island and I enjoyed walking from the central station to the Old […]

The Shins Live at Hovefestivalen 2012

“This is way beyond my remote concern of being condescending.” Ahhhh, The Shins! My favorite band-on-repeat back in college when I was a skinny, pimply kid with the iPod U2 edition (which is still alive by the way). Their albums “Chutes Too Narrow” and “Oh, Inverted World” were forged in melody and drenched in atmosphere. Their […]

M83 Live at Hovefestivalen 2012

The xx Live at Hovefestivalen 2012

Beirut Live at Hovefestivalen 2012

Beirut and his tuneful Balkan stomp got the crowd hippie-dancing at his live performance at Hovefestivalen 2012 (caught on video!). I’ve always wanted to see him live and been trying to catch him in his other European tours the last 2 years but no luck. Who knew the Hove folks have heard my prayers. I […]

Olé! Olé! Olé! Watching Spain v. France in Madrid: A Video Montage

While in Madrid, me and my friends went to watch Spain versus France in Marca Sports Bar. I am not a really a football fan but who could ignore it if Euro Cup 2012 is happening? Every now and then you hear neighbors shouting and you know what that means. And my Facebook newsfeed is […]
