It's friday, I'm in love
Here I am, after a crazy friday...After a good night, without the pressure of any take-home exam to handle in, I got up late in the morning, and took it easy. I finally decided to take my bike to the shop because few things need to be fixed. On my way back to school, I stopped to the music store and stayed like a kid in front of a red Fender basse, 7,995 SEK... Not good for my wallet. And because I'm not ready yet to sell my Cort... Then, one hour in class, got to the systembolaget and get stuff for the crazy week end that is expected. The others left to watch a movie, I just hang out in the streets, as they already put out all the Christmas decoration. After a hot chocolate with cream and marchmallow (highly recommanded, Expresso House) and the reading of a french newspaper, I finally got home, and got ready. After picking up Qiao, we went to Summer's to have dinner together. The pasta were not the best ever, but the chocolate cake was succulent. Around 22, I drove back Qiao, without going upstairs (it was a better idea!!!), went back home, picked up Ben's bike and ride to the Yellow House. Here I joined Adrianne, Camille, Jenny, Oleg, Torsten, David and Andrea. Few beers, some others who joined, and we were on our way to the nation party...
Blekingska Nation...!!!
Blekingska Nation... you killed me!!!
The place is small, a bit out of the center of the city. It looks like another building in the neighbooroud. We smoked one, and got upstairs. It was 23 or so. The music is good, not too loud, the place is not crowded yet. We got some beers. In the back of the room, not that big, a scene with amps, a drum and wires everywhere. Yes, every friday night, they've got a concert. I heard earlier the band who is playing tonite on MySpace, and I found it interesting. And here they go...
Jeans and shirts, no hair upside down, they don't look to be the kind of crazy rockers that jump everywhere. A drummer, two guitarists and a bass player who sings too (respect!). we still don't know what to expect, but anyway, we're in the front, not even 1 meter away from them. "Vi är Sibiria" (we are Sibiria). During an hour or so, they just enchanted me. With their indie pop-folk-rock, all in swedish, they transport me somewhere else for a while (maybe the beers helped a little bit). It was one of those moment you don't think about anything, it's intense, it's serene, your hand is moving alone with the rythm, sometimes you wanna jump, sometimes, you wanna close your eyes and escape thousands miles away, sometimes you just want to kiss this girl who is dancing next to you and who feels the music the same way as you. It was not a rock that breaks everything around, no, it was a mix of Belle and Sebastian, Beatles and the Smith. Sibiria, you wre great. After the show, a very good DJ just played some good indie pop rock, I even heard a nice track from Camera Obscura, and the band even show up to drink few beers, a good occasion to talk a bit with them. Very cool and open, those guys really diserve good things for the future.
So if you have a minute, go on their MySpace, listen it, and why not, find a good music store...
