Idiot wind.
From Hajen to Jaw Lesson and now Idiot Wind.
These are all the names that the fantastic Amanda Bergman goes under to perform her astounding music. Idiot wind toured last year with The Tallest man on earth and was honestly the best opening act I have seen yet. The piano singer-songwriter like Tallest man is also from Sweden, and signed to Knoppar.
The Singer can not only win the crowd over with her dazzling good looks and alluring curly crimson hair, but also with her stunning characteristic voice and beautiful blend of notes.
And the final song played by The tallest man on earth was blissfully joined by Idiot wind and her stunning harmonies.
Enjoy,
Georgie.

The Tallest Man On Earth
Kristian Matsson, the singer-songwriter from Sweden who plays under the stage name of The Tallest man on Earth.
The artist whom critics have compared to Bob Dylan, for his incredible song-writing ability and vocal style is quite unknown in the confines of the British Isles. However, i believe this tells us more about the popular music culture of today's Britain, than Matsson's ability to create moments of clarity with his music.
After seeing Tallest man at The Electric ballroom in Camden, i discovered that one man and one guitar is all that is needed to produce outstanding music and silence the most lively of crowds.

The red section. My favourite.
Brick Lane, the place to go for all your vintage/ second hand clothing needs. With shops such as Beyond Retro and Rockit, as well as markets that seem to go on forever. I guarantee you will not come home empty handed.

Helplessness Blues
1st June 2011
Fleet foxes perfored at the Hammersmith Apollo supported by The B's and went down a storm.
Promoting their new album 'Helplessness blues' which incorporates everything they are as a band.
Soothing harmonies and fantastically composed music creates beautiful songs which excite the mind and feed the soul. I leave you with a picture of them live performing Mykonos from their previous album 'Sun giant'

He's back with a vengeance.
Bon Iver's mightily anticipated album is out in just a little over a month.
And so as all musicians must, he has made his appearances.
But, rather than the more expected offering of his advance single Calgary for his appearance on Fallon, we got a taste of Bon Iver’s love of covers, with a medley of Leon Russell’s “A Song For You” and two Bonnie Raitt tunes, “I Can’t Make You Love Me” and “Nick of Time.”
Listening to these, i felt the sheer power of his capacity to bring people to an overwhelming sense of joy and clarity, that comes effortlessly with his voice.
Enjoy

Malnutritioned Affection.
Bon Iver - Painful emotion mixed with raw passionate music.
Justin Vernon has been the light in the darkness, when light itself was only a concept i used to understand.
His music represents more than just beautiful sound, but real, truly fierce emotion that defines him and all those who are lucky enough to stumble upon him.
If i could name one, once in a life time experience, it would be to see this phenomenon live. I have been blessed with this.
23rd October 2011.
I leave you with the beautiful and humbling sound of malnutritioned affection that is;
Skinny Love by Bon Iver.
