Music

Oh dear, worst night ever (or in a long time). I had an episode of sleep paralysis. It's been happening to be on a regular basis for a few years now but it had been a while. It's still the most terrifying thing ever, I don't think I'll ever get used to it. Then I fell back asleep and had the most horrific nightmare. Ugh.

I began listening to Clémentine's mixtape with my morning coffee but turns out shoegaze is very high-pitched and I felt it wouldn't help my headache (I probably spent the night clenching my teeth so my jaw and my neck were super sore), so I changed to Klangstabil after 5 songs. I think I need to listen to the mixtape on the amps (instead of headphones), it would probably work better for me.

Then I listened to Cocksure's TVMALSV, DSX – Anonymous, Glass Apple Bonzaï, WULFband (love them!), 3TEETH, Zomboy, Venetian Snare (but Making Orange Things is a super BAD idea when you're on the verge of a migraine, go figure!), Mlada Fronta – Polygon.

We cleaned the flat a bit, so it was the perfect occasion to test again my second mixtape, which is done, except for a few sound levelling problems. It's quite trashy, I love it! I've put some Haujobb on as a palate cleanser though. :P

Then Music For A Slaughtering Tribe (again), a bit of Die Form (I quite like their latest song) and Kirlian Camera – Still Air (I forgot how much I loved this album, I haven't heard it in quite a while).

Food

We opened the Duvel bottle we randomly found in a grocery store last night, then went to Valentin and had pedrito. Pedrito... We were the first there so we had an extra serving of the first slice (charred crispy pork goodness) between us.

Watching

We watched Broadchurch after a giggle fit that lasted for well over five minutes. First I sent my first mixtape to a friend after posting on FB about the second mixtape (which isn't ready). I was like, “so the trashy one isn't done, are you interested in this one first?” and she started listening and she was like “I love it! It's trashy but makes me want to dance!!”. Uh, love. This is not the trashy one.

:D :D :D

And of course Math made fun of the typo I made last time I blogged about Broadchurch, in a Scottish accent and all and I was tearing up. I think the tagline “Never a beak” is going to stick.

Broadchurch was good. Interesting developments, really strong moments, weaker, predictable ones, imho.
