I love Pianos. I think it is because I spent a great deal of my teens 'air piano-ing' to Tori Amos and then Fiona Apple. The Piano always seemed so elegant yet kinda cool.

My dad never brought me one as he said I had to learn the keyboard first to prove I would be committed, sadly I never felt inspired by the keyboard (although I do secretly love a bit of synth-pop) so my bohemian rock goddess on a piano dream was never realized!

One day, when I don't live in a matchbox sized house I will have one, maybe Alex will grow up to be a Freddie Mercury!!

Bohemian fantasy: Sitar

xx George xx

I am a big Ravi Shankar fan and over the last few years I have really fallen in love with the sound if the Sitar and am considering learning. I  have found a teacher in my local area and am contemplating beginning soon. However they are pretty expensive and I am not sure if it is very realistic with a new born to look after....

but they look and sound so beautiful...

Bedroom Gramophone

They are just faboulous arent they? I would smile for a year if I had one of these vintage beauties!!
If I wasn't so worried that if I got one it wouldn't work I would buy one tomorrow, I do just have really bad luck with electrical s..... of course it would look pretty even if it didn't work

However, for those scared of vintage electricals too, there are always the iphone Gramophones, which are still pretty darn cool?!?

Arvo Pärt - Spiegel Im Spiegel!

I am having 'one of those weeks' as it is nearly a year since my little sister had her  brain surgery. So instead of posting interiors I am leaving you with a video. This is one of the most beautiful, emotional pieces of music I have ever heard.

Bat for Lashes

Originally from Brighton, as I have proudly mentioned before, I am pleased that an artist such as Natasha Khan aka Bat for Lashes has been proudly boasting her residence in the wonderful sea side city.

A musician, artist and former primary school teacher is there nothing this lady can't do?I just love her quirky style her music is pretty good too.
