Ghostland Observatory - pigtails, bell-bottoms and a cape? oh my!

So I am just way too excited for Dfest this year! I think it is safe to say that my focus will be on the band from Austin that reminds me a bit of Daft Punk with a little extra soul haha. Aaron Behrens and Thomas Ross Turner (who often wears a cape - awesome)create such a unique sound but what captures me is their character and funky twist on things. Watching Aaron dance just makes me want to join him. Watch the video and you'll see what I mean! You really can't help but smile, and if you're anything like me, it's impossible to hold back the intense, spastic and freaky-weird dance moves that you never knew you had dwelling inside you. Also if you haven't heard their music before you have to listen to "sad sad city"! ah can't wait!

(if you don't have time at least fast forward to about 1 min 30 sec. that's when it really gets good haha!)

"I've got souvenirs but yesterday can't mean too much"

Reading my diary really makes me miss Spain along with that "will I be alive tomorrow" feeling. Reminds me of a song:

"With an envelope we'll enter buildings we might touch
I've got souvenirs but yesterday can't mean too much" -- Architecture in Helsinki "souvenirs"



OK continuing with my Spain diary:


















Ok and nena, since I am pretty sure you're the only one reading this, I am posting this additional video from Architecture in Helsinki . . . I really want to be a still-life, sell clothes, and make music with you on the streets of Germany.
