reading & music

The book of Maylis de Kerangal is sometimes hard to read because of the emotion. A young man has died in a car accident and the hospital asked the parents if they are ok for organ donation. Times of sadness, questions of parents, their feelings, how to present this request to parents, etc ... full of difficult and delicate moments. "Repair the living" is the title of the book in French.

The biography of Marie Antoinette by Zweig is really good. Loved learn many details about the destiny of this woman. Makes me want to read other biographies of people living at the same time. I also want to go to Versailles .... it's weird but I have never gone there...

I'm from Barcelona / Growing up is for trees

Very good indie pop album. They'll be playing next week in Paris. I'll maybe try to go to their show but this is not sure for the moment.

I'm from Barcelona

Violins

I have already posted several times video of this Swedish band that I love.

I say to the French who are the biggest consumers (in the world) of antidepressants: listen to I'm from Barcelona and throw your pills :)

I waited for a while their new cd and it will happen soon (end of March, I think).

I hope they will come back for shows in France this year...

For now, here is their new song "Violins".

Monday trip & more!

Yesterday we went to Paris to see our favorite Swedish band (I'M FROM BARCELONA) playing in an original place: the Batofar. This is an old lighthouse boat which is moored on the quays of the Seine in Paris. While waiting to go inside, we had little cold despite the beautiful weather. But once inside .... we had very warm!!!!

It was the first time we saw the band play in a small place. The time before, we had seen them at festivals, outside during summer. I think I prefer the smaller place, the contact is very good and the atmosphere almost electric! Their songs make me happy and gives me energy!

I took pictures but they are almost all blurry... everyone was dancing and jumping a lot :) maybe it's for this reason these pictures are blurry!!! Despite the fuzziness of these photos it reflect well the excellent atmosphere of this show.
