So my friend Novi asked me to compile a playlist of songs for her Postkartraveler Project 2012, and after sometime gawking at her pretty postcards, recalling my own experiences in traveling, a bit of musing and browsing through my music folder, I came up with this mixtape…
…about traveling, seeing new places, meeting new people, experiencing new things,
I’m in love with the world today
And I want to give myself for all of you
There is something magical here
Even when we don’t believe
Living/Breathing, Mesita
…about the joys and wonders, experiencing everything with excitement and fresh senses,
Toujours, tout doux, tout doucement
Comme ça, la vie c’est épatant
N’allez jamais trop vite
Vous avez tout le temps
Tout Doucement, Feist
Let’s just bend the invitation
Leave our bikes down at the station
And lose all sense of direction
I’m going to get lost with you
Get Lost, Patrick Wolf
…about the sweet melancholy, that certain yearning, longing,
Like a swell window I will wait for you
We’ll ride the moment ‘til I catch you again
Swell Window, Zee Avi
…about saying hello and saying goodbyes,
Good Morning Midnight, Fanfarlo
…about missing home, or finding a new home,
I’m leaving everywhere
To go back home
I need a good heart to keep me well
Leave Everywhere, Toro Y Moi
…about living life, taking risks, getting lost, but ultimately (re)discovering something new: ourselves.
I see the walls, then see them fall
You break through them all
I see you crawl, now you stand tall
Grow and grow till tall
Around Us, Jónsi
Happy listening :)

Jean Dujardin showing his John Travolta moves on Jay Leno (x)
Oh my god i need to watch this Leno episode!!
While Dujardin is almost completely silent throughout The Artist, the actor still had to speak his lines while being filmed. But since the film used cards to relate the dialogue, it didn’t matter what language he spoke. “Sometimes, I acted in English, sometimes in French,” he says. “And sometimes, I was just speaking complete gibberish.”
