Currently obsessed with:

Never heard of this band before, but they've been rocking my world this past month. Have been listening to the last album basically everywhere and during everything I do. I love it in the car, while I'm doing the dreaded housework, at work (with headphones firmly in place), while studying and like I said, anytime, anyplace, anywhere :).

Cobalt - Slow Forever on Spotify
Cobalt on Last.fm

The other albums are not on spotify but they are on youtube. I don't really like listening to music on youtube, being a last.fm junkie and all, but from what I've heard, they're epic too.

Not for the faint of hearted and sort of in your face. It has the tribal rhythms that I like, and it is genre defying. 

An afternoon at the zoo

Last weekend the sun finally came out again. I was torn between staying in my garden all day and doing something fun outside the house. In the end we did both. The morning was spent in the garden and late in the afternoon we went to diergaarde blijdorp. We both have a season pass so we can go whenever we want, but most importantly; we can go for a short time without feeling like we need to stay longer to get our money's worth. Sometimes we only go in to have lunch :). 

Going to the zoo late in the afternoon on a sunny day has one major advantage: most children are already tired from a long day and are going home. It was still quite busy but it was manageable :)
