Honestly, I knew nothing about them before writing this post. Their music came up and I had to look them up! It makes me feel like a character in a whimsy silent film. If that makes any sense. 😆

Now Playing: Alexandra Savior - MTME
March 10, 2017
MTME o Music To My Ears es una canción con vibras de película de suspenso de los años sesenta con twist halucinógeno-experimental con todo y grito de terror incluído. ¡El video es igualmente interesante y además dirigido por ella misma!

MTME or Music To My Ears is a song with vibes of a 1960's hallucinogen-experimental thriller... *horror scream included. The video is just as interesting and it was even directed by her!
Savior’s vibe is that of “feminist angst with a horror film feel.” - gigwiseYou can listen to more of Alexandra Savior here.

TWO FOR FRIDAY: A PATTERN / A SONG
March 27, 2015
A song: Slow motion by Phox.
___
Como este es el momento en que les cuento algo de mi semana, les digo que me quedan sólo tres semanas de clases en el posgrado. ¡Tres!
Me vienen a la mente los flashbacks de todo lo que tuvo que pasar para que viniera a estudiar a Toronto y ¡zaz!, ahora está a punto de terminar y empieza el terror de encontrar buscar trabajo.
Since this is the time where I share some notes about my life, let me tell you I am about to graduate from my postgraduate program! Three weeks more to go and it's over. Looking back it's crazy to think of all the things that had to happen in order for me to be here. Now apparently it's job hunting season and everybody is sharpening their swords because this is going to be intense. Mind your heads!
While this happens this morning I noticed there are more birds flying and chirping around, which makes me ridiculously happy since it means summer and the promise of warmer days is just around the corner. It's almost april and we still have some days at -12!... If weather was a person he would totally be laughing at us!

TWO FOR FRIDAY: A BOOK / A SONG
February 20, 2015
A song: Pinos, by Masa (Didi Gutman from Brazilian Girls and Héctor Castillo)
So... these past few days I have been obsessed with Miranda July. I introduced S. to her movies and her work in general and this last weekend while we were strolling in Toronto I saw this book and trust me, it is the next one I want to buy. Apparently it is a compilation of short stories, but with July the most important thing is the way she tells those stories and how they revolve around the ordinary things. For those who are not familiar with her, she is an american filmmaker, actress, artist and has been named one of the most influential independent voices of these recent years. If you are curious about her work you can watch her first movie “Me and you and everyone we know“ which was awarded at Sundance and Cannes Film Festival.
About this song... I am a huge fan of the band Brazilian Girls. A few years ago I was lucky to run into Didi Gutman who plays at this band so I was really happy to find this video of Didi and multi awarded producer Héctor Castillo with this project called Masa. I think the sound is pretty cool and can make you dance while you get ready to start the day!
Estos últimos días he estado un poco obsesionada con Miranda July. Le enseñé a S. algo de sus películas y su trabajo en general y esta semana mientras caminábamos por Toronto me encontré con este libro que ya lo tengo en la vista para la próxima. Aparentemente es una compilación de historias cortas pero con July lo importante es la manera en que cuenta las cosas y que normalmente habla sobre lo cotidiano. Para los que no la conozcan, Miranda July es una directora, actriz, artista americana que ha sido nombrada una de las voces independientes más influyentes en los últimos años. Si les interesa saber más de ella les recomiendo que vean su primer película “Me and you and everyone we know“ que es un poco rara, pero es buena y como dato curioso ganó en los festivales de Sundance y Cannes.

TWO FOR FRIDAY: AN IMAGE / A SONG
January 30, 2015
An image: La boum, by YELENA BRYKSENKOVA
A song: Jogalong by ROZI PLAIN
This weekend is the last of january already!... I don't know about you but it seemed like this month was way too long!... Or maybe it is because my head has been all over the place for the past couple of months and finally I am letting go some ideas and thoughts that were becoming a bit to heavy to carry.
Has this happened to you?... that you think and think about something and you can't seem to find an easy solution and then out of the blue on a random day you just decide you don't care about that anymore and from one second to the other life is bright and shiny again?
Anyway... one of the purposes I really want to achieve with the blog during this year is to be more honest and share more of what's on my mind. So there you go. Baby steps here, but we've got to start somewhere, right?
This song here is amazing. Seriously! Make sure you listen more about Rozi Plain on the link above. I found her through a friend on facebook (that oddly enough is friends with her!) and I think it is a mix of Vampire Weekend with Cate Le Bon. haha.. but that is just me.

A PATTERN / A SONG
December 05, 2014
A song. Nuit 17 à 52, Christine and the Queens.
_____
Pues estoy de regreso... México fue un viaje que me dejó exhausta en muchos sentidos. Es extraño visitar un lugar que antes era tuyo y ahora verlo como una visita.
Por otro lado los conciertos fueron un sueño y lo mismo me dejaron contenta que con un montón de ideas en la cabeza. Como siempre, sigo creyendo que un viaje te cambia y definitivamente este ha sido de los más intensos que me ha tocado en un rato ya que también fue un viaje para encontrarme con varias verdades, miedos, dudas y quereres conmigo misma.
Pero bueno... también me puso a pensar cuál será mi siguiente viaje. La fecha está aún por decidirse, pero el destino está claro: Islandia. ¡2015 pinta para ser un gran año!
___
I am back from my trip to Mexico, which was a trip that got me exhausted in many ways. It is strange to visit a place that used to be yours and now see it like a visitor.
On the other hand the concerts were a dream and left me with a whole bunch of great memories as well as ideas in my head. As always I still believe traveling changes you and definitely this trip has been one of the most intense in a while because it was also a way to find many truths, fears, doubts and longings with myself.
However... this also made me think about my next trip. Dates are yet to be confirmed but destination is clear: Iceland. 2015 looks like it's going to be a great year!

Guess who is traveling to Mexico right now and being such a nerd working on a presentation from the airport at 4 am?! #nerdalert
Guilty.
Oh, and yes, this is my best angle. From here you can't see the big dark circles around my hard-working-nerdy eyes. Yikes!

STICKY QUIRKY MUSIC / PLAYLIST 1
September 24, 2014
* For those epic nights after an epic rough day. A perfect mix between something calm and something fun to leave crap behind.
___
Tengo acumulación de música a tal grado que había que hacer un playlist. Hoy me encerré en mi cuarto, me puse a escribir y saqué los audífonos del closet, agarré las últimas canciones que he puesto en el grooveshark y me armé un playlist que es perfecto para reanimar un día de esos donde uno quisiera no haberse levantado. El título del playlist (y de hecho toda la idea de hacer uno) es por una línea que escuché en la primer pista. Enjoy!
Lately I've been swimming in new music and thought creating a new playlist was a good way to share all these little jewels. So I closed my bedroom door, turned the laptop on, put the headphones on and browsed through my grooveshark archives to create this mix. Perfect to cheer you up after having “one of those days“. The name for this playlist is from a line of the first song. Enjoy!

* P.D. No fumo pero la última canción me hizo reír. / P.S. I don't smoke but thought the last track was really funny.
1. “4am“ - Kaskade
2. “Stand still (feat. Micky Green)“ - Flight Facilities
3. “Collective mon amour“ - Éléphant
4. “Chistine“ - Christine and The Queens
5. “Black balloon“ - The Kills
