Goals and Goddesses
Can you have a beautiful piece of music along with an awesome video promoting girl empowerment? Yes, yes, yes! UNICEF Namibia and #TeamUNICEF have done an awesome job here.
“This video for the song ‘Goddess’ by up and coming US artist BANKS was inspired by UNICEF’s work on promoting children’s rights through sport and play and the Galz and Goals programme in Namibia which helps disadvantaged adolescent girls make healthy decisions on and off the playing field.
Most of the girls who take part in Galz and Goals come from vulnerable families experiencing lots of social challenges. Indeed, many of the scenarios in the film are real challenges the respective girls have had to overcome in their own lives. Filmed on location in Windhoek, Namibia – including the Katutura township where the football scenes were filmed.

Majestic summer
The room next to me in the office is a conference room, today occupied by UNFPA people in training and loud conference calls.
I just remembered I can block my ears out with some summer. Why didn’t I think of that earlier?! On a roll now – Thanks Majestic.
Back to work.
Where is my mind?
Beautiful cover of the old Pixies song by the French pianist Maxence Cyrin, with a super sweet video. Looks almost like a silent movie!

Love Never Felt So Good!
Michael Jackson ft. Justin Timberlake – Love Never Felt So Good (2014)
Heard this in a grocery store here in Belize City the other day.. and today the official video for the Jackson + Timberlake track was released. This whole thing about really talented dancers, diversity and happy people never gets boring now, does it? Brilliant!
Dinosound
“Argghh, are we moving somewhere AGAIN?? Ooh.. ooh.. oooh.. wait, never mind, I LOVE the sound of whatever it is you’re playing on this thing right now – let’s go, girl!”
T-Red is apparently ready. He just jumped into my bag along with my new mindblowingly awesome mini speaker.
Audiophile much? Me? Moi? Oui! Yay!

And hey, in case you didn’t notice – the sun is out!
Time is fading to memory
Manchester based producer Oceáan, also known as Oliver Cean has shared his 15 minute debut EP to SoundCloud. It’s a rather minimalist electronic journey through sampled loops, deep popping bass lines, 2-step beats and of course Oliver’s own hazy vocals. It’s a little bit of “The Weekend” meets “James Blake” kind of painful and heart ripping, while pleasant to listen to. Enjoy.
The EP releases via Rough Trade on 12″ and digital tomorrow (April 7th), it was released on March 31st via iTunes.
Oh right, by the way, I’m back in Sweden and very much up for coffee or wine. Talks, that is.
The Sheltering Sky
Ryuichi Sakamoto – The Sheltering Sky
The Sheltering Sky Soundtrack (1990)
Here’s a live piano piece from the ultra-talented activist, pianist, actor, composer, musician, writer and singer Ryuichi Sakamoto from Japan. If you have missed his previous piano works or his experimental and mysteriously soothing collaborations with Alva Noto, head on to Youtube and explore. I wish you a sweet and relaxing Sunday evening in the company of your mind.

Photo from February and Cicirellas place in Copenhagen. That’s sweet Maria hiding beneath her winter layers.
Bliss and sunny photos
I will share the photos from Marseille tomorrow, dears. It’s been a lousy day that not even an entire bar of dark chocolate was able to fix. But I’ve had a really beautiful evening with hours of rampue remixes and photos – and now it’s time for me to finally get a proper night’s sleep. Can’t wait. Bliss. Good night!
