Mother Mother
Eyjafjallajökull is still giving the world a hard time. But I really think it's good that mother earth now and then proves that she's much more powerfull than mankind. The people at Volcano Expedition International went up there to film this great footage and got very close to the ash and fire. Amazing to watch!
Sia - Live in Utrecht
Oh what a beautiful concert by Sia again last night! Intimate venue, pretty close to the stage and enjoyed every minute of it! She performed songs from her new album "We Are Born" which will be released in June, as well as her best work to date. The highlight, like last year, was Breathe Me. When she sings that song I am nailed to the ground an completely blown away by that beautiful voice!
The great thing about Sia is that she's a VERY funny and VERY crazy person. You feel like you're in her house and she makes you feel at ease. Joking around, singing off key and laughing it away and receiving lots of crazy gifts by her fans. Have a look at her website to see her concert dates and if she ever is around wherever the hell you live, please give her a try!
And as a bonus I give you my own shaky video of her version of Madonna's Oh Father. This cover will be on her new album as well.

Sia Tonight
After the fantastic concert by Gaga last Saturday, it's now time for Australian Lady Sia to entertain me. Saw her perform last year in Amsterdam, which was awesome, so I will let you know if she's still awesome later tonight!

Paws Up! Lady Gaga in Arnhem
She did surprise me last night! I am a sucker for good Pop Music, and Lady Gaga really delivered some great pop over the last two years. But seeing her in concert made me realize she's more than just pop culture. She's an excellent singer and musician. Her concert (first big tour) looked a lot like the big spectacles we visit so often, but her voice really made the difference. Amazing!
For a woman with only one real album out (okay, and some tracks for the re-issue of that first album) she delivered a complete show, featuring her most common hits as well as some more obscure work. And she did a beautiful version of Stand by Me, in honour to the only survivor of the planecrash in Libia last week.
But the best part of the evening were our friends. Great people, all of them and all unique. Some their basic selves, some dressed up in Mickey Mouse ears or wigs with cans in them, but all enjoying the concert, the evening, the company and the beer afterwards!
