Tomorrow I’m going to Berlin, for the first time in my life.
Could I be more excited?
(mm.. maybe.. if I was a beautiful girl from Sweden who’s going to go to USA next October)
There’s always been something.. special, between me and Berlin, since when I was a child, really.

Some days ago I uploaded a post about Does It Offend You, Yeah?, a band from Reading, and I chose, among their 5 videos to date, “Epic Last Song”, which features the band as miniature action figures.
I totally love this kind of videos: action figures with cut-out faces, or real people with cut-out faces, […]

In honour of this bittersweet farewell to warm weather and mild sunburns, I decided to make a playlist of all the songs I played the hell out of this […]

As you all probably know already, while I’m writing this post the Reading & Leeds festival is taking place.
It’s one of the things on my “must do before I die” list. No, not “write a post about it”, no.. I mean.. “BE THERE”, for once in my life.

In the end.. I surrended.
I said “Yes” to “Why don’t we try to rehearse together? Just to see what happens”.
And so..
