Another morning on the bicycle taking toddler Paz to nursery. Its a short ride passing hundreds of coffee-hungry students under our local cafe’s umbrellas, drifting past different countries’ Embassies & down towards Tivoli park, but my hands certainly feel the chill. “Lets wait for the green man” I say as people straggle themselves to work. …

ANIMAL SURNAMES & GOATS AHEAD OF THEIR TIME
Over coffee my girlfriend gets a text from a co worker & tells me their surname translates to Goat! I’m baffled. “Do you know how amazing that is?” – Honestly, I was quite jealous. She went on to tell me its quite common in Slovenia. Many people have surnames after animals. Also fruits and vegetables …
JUST IN TIME
There’s nothing we disdain more than the clock. Everyday we have deadlines to meet. Most of them seem like a necessary inconvenience like getting up at 7.30 so you can arrive on time at your job or take your kid to school. Deadlines aren’t just about handing in work. They’re cut off points in time …
HOW KIDS IN THE UK HEARD RAVE MUSIC
Last night I tuned into Mumdance‘s radio show on London’s Rinse FM online from my apartment in Ljubljana. I knew Mumdance had some very special guests (for him) on the show. I would learn that Mumdance as a kid/teen (much like myself in the nineties) was heavily into UK Rave music. So many cool memories …
PREPARING FOR THE RAMP
I was riding my girlfriend’s bike back to our apartment this morning after dropping Paz at Nursery. Her bike is an old imported black Mamachari. Its a sturdy Japanese city bike which I recommend to anyone but it only has 1 speed. Driving past Cankarjedom (a big events hall in Ljubljana) there is a big …
DOING THINGS FOR A LONG TIME
So today I was on Twitter and I came across a few brilliant reviews of Glasweigan DJ Duo & Clubnight OPTIMO‘s 20th anniversary party that happened over the weekend. They are infamous for not having a code of music & will literally invite anyone they liked to play the party and will play any song regardless …
THE RAINBOW FISH STORY
Reflecting on life is sometimes easier through Children’s books. Reading a good story to your son or daughter before bed will do the trick often by suprise. One book I’ve been reaching for lately is The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. Although the protagonist “Rainbow Fish” is beautifully swagged out with a rainbow of glittering …
BOB DYLAN SONGS UNDER 1000 PLAYS
This post is for artists, creators etc. Bob Dylan never gave a Fuck, So why should you? Just look at his 2016 album Fallen Angels on Spotify. Even though he’s still signed to Columbia/Sony- some of the releases have songs that are a year old & still have under 1000 plays. Thats insane. Every 7 …
MUSIC & ART CHANGES EVERYTHING
Music and Art change everything. Honestly. It doesn’t matter if you’re an armchair fan or if you’re heavily involved in their worlds. At some point in your life an act has came on the radio, or shown up in your feed, or you’ve seen them playing for the first time or you’ve been personally handed …
RACEHORSES & BLINDERS
Racehorses. There’s a reason they are pre-equipped with Blinders for the big race. The blinders are there on the right and left side of the horse’s face to make sure they aren’t distracted by what else is going on around them. The horse won’t miss a step. Full speed ahead, tunnel vision! Thats how artists …
