Way Out West 2012 kicked off last Thursday at the beautiful Slottskogen Park in Gothenburg, Sweden. The line-up this year is packed with lots of amazing artists which is great since it is my first time to attend it. I’ve always wanted to be a part of this festival since 2009 but something always got […]

Stockholm Music and Arts Festival 2012
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 […]
I’m totally killing it!
Hello beautiful dreamers! Greetings from Vilnius, Lithuania! I am so sorry for the delayed updates in the blog (I update more in Facebook and Twitter so better follow me there!) and for the delayed reply of emails. I have been really busy traveling the past week. More on the travels later but first, the 4 […]
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
In 2010, Anthony Gonzalez announced his latest album, “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming”, would be “very, very, very epic.” Well, that seems like an understatement because his album was in fact more epic than “very, very, very epic.” So imagine how mindblowing and crazy it was when they played live in front of a gorgeous, dance-y Norwegian […]
The xx Live at Hovefestivalen 2012
The xx concert was dark, sexy and orgasmic. It was like sexx on the dance floor. I totally love the stage set up and dark lighting. I’ve also wanted to see them live since forever and I’m so happy I was able to see them at Hove. I think they were one of the best shows […]

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 […]
