Nina Simone is really good company. Here are three songs from her first album, Little Girl Blue, released in 1958. The last clip is a claymation video produced by Aardman Animations in 1987 for one of the songs from the album. High quality jazz – Enjoy!
Nina Simone – Love me or Leave me
Nina Simone – Mood Indigo
Nina Simone – My baby just cares for me

Just came back home from a very nice dinner with friends, a song by Bebe got shuffled up by my iPod and was my company during the short walk home so I thought I’d share it here, it’s sweet. It also reminded me that I missed her concert in Palau de la Música last week, it is just next door from my place and I really like her songs and lyrics so it is a bit sad.. but well, it happens. I should bring my SLR Canon along more as well, this city is so overwhelming that I have been choosing to leave the camera at home to be able to actually get somewhere instead of stopping every five seconds to take pictures. Starting tomorrow she’s hanging along again, but now – goodnight!
Bebe – No + Llora

I need to find myself a desk tomorrow. A very nice thing about Barcelona is that every neighbourhood has a specific day when the people that live there put out their old furniture in the streets. Perfect for short-term students, money savers and squatters. Tomorrow is the day of my barrio, and I am going on a hunt for a big desk for my room and a little chair for my balcony. Wish me luck!
Current soundtrack:
Caribou – Sun
Swim (2010)
Just saw a playlist on Chemas computer and had to copy it, doesn’t it sound a bit like a poem? There is a new toy in the house by the way – a mixer. I am so going to learn this game. And hey, I just got “Tienes un sentido rítmico bastante chingon” so I guess it won’t be impossible, hahaha..
Everson – Get your Swerve on (2010)
We’ve been playing drums and listening to music since I got back from school, now we’re watching the Drummers Collective, drinking glögg with Bach-wine and I’m doing my homework.
Isn’t that a beautiful thursday in Barcelona? :)
Oh, and yes – that is my awesome friend Chema in the video above (shot with my Canon 500D) – he’s been teaching me how to play but I’m not as good as he is.. yet! Haha..
