Impressions from the Dillon concert

Last week I went to the Dillon concert. It was brilliant. She sang and played the keyboard while this tall guy worked two mac books and sound machines I know nothing about. Her voice reminds me of Lykke Li, soft and vulnerable. She’s from Brazil but calls Cologne her home, writing her own songs and playing the piano. Now her debut album “The Silence Kills” came out, featuring this Track:

Here are some impressions from the concert.

And this is what I was wearing by the way (thanks for the photo, Jo). American Apparel velvet leggings and boots from Zara.

Cool Yule

Kind of surprised to see it is december already! As a result of global warming or whatever we’ve had virtually no rain this november, so I’m not really prepared for it to be winter just yet. Although I’d love for us to skip the rainy part and just get to the snowing already.

Anyway. December first means people are opening the first door of their Adventskalendar, one of my favorite German traditions. It’s on. Another great german tradition is Weihnachtsmarkt. A market where you can buy all sorts of things from trimmings for the christmas tree and festive decoration to roasted almonds and waffles. These markets are a great tourist attraction so I welcomed the oppurtunity to visit a more alternative market which was held at a local club called Gloria.

Here are some pictures of the wonderful stuff they had:
