Monday Music’s the one post where Some Of It Was True! drops its London-only rule. Princess Chelsea - We're So Lost New Zealand chamber pop (by Chelsea Nikkel , a 25-year-old from Auckland) - you don't hear much of that. On the basis of this weird wonder, we should hear more. Parks, Squares & Alleys - Youth Russian dream pop (by Sergey Khavro , a 19-year-old from the [...]

Princess Chelsea is currently on a UK-wide tour with Alt-J and you can grab her latest track for free right here! Follow / [FACEBOOK]

Chelsea Nickel, of New Zealand rather than Stamford Bridge, and not in any royal line as far as I know, makes kaleidoscopic psychedelic pop of a quite unnerving quality; ‘We’re So Lost’ is electronica twittering fretfully underneath an otherworldly little-girl-lost voice, with fruity bursts of melody. She’s on tour with Alt-J, which might indicate the thoughtful, off-kilter pop that she produces. The B-side 'When The World Turns Grey' is better though, a dip into her psyche: she plays piano and sings (a little like Regina Spektor perhaps) while a synthesiser tone-shifts rhythmically, against a backdrop of sinister, [...]

Sigara denince akla gelen simge isim Marlboro'dur sanırım. Sert bir erkek imajı çizen Marlboro'nun ilk defa piyasaya bir kadın sigarası olarak sürülmesi sizi şaşırtabilir. "Gündüz kadar hafif" sloganı ile 1924 yılında çıktığında bir hanımefendinin sigarasının nasıl olması gerektiğini anlatıyordu. Zaten o dönemde henüz erkek sigaralarında kullanılmayan filtrenin ismi "dudakları koruyan güzellik uçluğu"ydu. 50'li yıllara geldiğimizde sigara ve kanser ilişkisi yavaş yavaş gün yüzüne çıkınca, sigara firmaları bunu insanlara nasıl içiririz kaygısı içinde reklam ve psikolojik bir araştırma içine girdiler. Bu araştırmaların bir tanesi, toplumların bilinçaltında bir ölüm arzusu yattığını idda eden [...]

realizzato in un’ora, prima di un party casalingo, ecco il video di Frack di Princess Chelsea - uno dei brani contenuti in These Shaky Isles , il bel sampler di Lil Chief Records.

These Shaky Isles è allo stesso tempo il nuovo sampler dell’etichetta neozelandese Lil’ Chief Records e una formidabile compilation (in free download!) di brani indie-pop: These Shaky Isles by Various Artists

New Zealander Chelsea Nikkel, ex of the Brunettes, is joined by the Brunettes’s Jonathan Bree for the whimsical pop of ‘The Cigarette Duet’. Accompanied by a sinister keyboard waltz and memorable guitar solo, the Princess and Bree pursue a call-and-response argument over her smoking, in best Lee-and-Nancy style. It has an immediate attraction but there’s also a sugary aftertaste that makes you turn down second helpings. Her talent is shown by the sharp-witted chamber-pop and Randy Newman vocals of ‘Positive Girl Meets Negative Man’ and the dreamy laptop-pop of ‘Goodnight Little Robot Child’ but overall it’s sprinkled [...]

Albert Camus , Sisifos Söyleni ’ne şu cümleyle başlıyordu: “Gerçekten önemli olan tek bir felsefe sorunu vardır, intihar.” İntihar bir sonuç mudur yoksa neden midir! Sorularına cevapları olan insanlar bunu çeşitli kategorilerde sıralamıştır. Psikologlara göre ağır depresyon sonucu girilen bir eylemdir. Sosyologlara göre bir toplumdan ve baskıdan bunalan bir insanın yaptığı özkıyımdır. Tarihin her döneminde bir çok yazar ve şair bu yolu seçerek ömürlerinin sonuna üç noktayı koydular. Kaan İnce' de bu yolu 22 yaşında seçmiş gencecik bir şairdi. Nilgün [...]

Gülmek; "Saf" denme riskini göze almaktır. Ağlamak ise; "Duygusal " görünme riskini. Birine yakınlaşmak; "Kendini kaptırma" riskini, Duygularını açmak; "Kendini ortaya koyma" riskini, Hayalleri ve düşünceleri sergilemek ise; "Onları başkalarına kaptırma" riskini göze almaktır. Sevmek; "Karşılık görememe" riskini... Yaşamak ise; "Ölme" riskini göze almaktır. Umutlanmak; " Hayal kırıklığına uğrama" riskini Çabalamak ise; "Başarısız olma" riskini göze almaktır... Ama riskler yaşanmalıdır. Çünkü hayatımızın en büyük riski, hiç risk almamaktır. Hiç risk almayan kişi, belki acı ve üzüntülerden korunabilir; Ama Büyüyemez, Sevemez, Değişemez, Hissedemez, Öğrenemez. Garanti arayışlarıyla [...]

Princess Chelsea is the solo recording project of Chelsea Nikkel from Auckland, New Zealand. With the piano and assorted keyboards as her main instruments, he sings quirky pop songs, with a schoolgirl voice that softens the darker meanings of her lyrics. Her debut Lil' Golden Book is a collection of fairy tales an true stories without Hollywood endings. Apparently she doesn't care much for alcohol ( Too Fast To Live ) and tobacco ( The Cigarette Duet with Jonathan Bree of The Brunettes). A grandiose song [...]
