Only in the US of A. Sigh doesn’t even come close to the utter frustration this man gives me and with that his voters. I’m not saying we don’t have derranged politicians in Holland (Geert Wilders and his party) but I mean really? The only words that come to mind is contradiction and hypocrisy.
YES,YES, YES! After years of sitting, waiting and wishing Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! are finally coming to Holland. I am beyond psyched. I have the tendency to only check out the concerts in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. But after missing out on a lot last year (Bon Iver, Ben Howard, SUFJAN FUCKING STEVENS) I made a promise to myself: check out e-v-e-r-y possible location. Et voila. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! here I come, nothing but hearts.
Best.ever.period.

In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps

Every now and then I realize how beyond awesome my (pre)master is. While I sat there, still hungover from Lisbon and the many drinks after that, my teacher gave us an assignment; to do a discourse analysis on Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs. Combine sociology and Arcade Fire, two things I love and I am one happy, happy camper.
Obessed with anchors as I am, I was in constant awe in Lisbon. Anchors E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E! This one was one of many and was surrounded in a garden of anchors.
