The Radio Dept.

The Radio Dept. is a Swedish indie pop band from Lund, Sweden formed in 1995 and currently signed to Labrador Records.

(an interesting point, the band name was taken from a gas station/radio repairer in Lund, Sweden called "Radioavdelningen” which means The Radio Department in Swedish...)

"Jack le Poéte"


From the Alps mountains, I am glad to introduce a funny photo taken by a close friend, Vladimir Baranovsky.
I remember perfectly when I first met Vladimir, it was in Acapulco, Mexico in 1977 and since this day him and I have always shared the same fascination for weird and different things.
Anyway, when "Jack Le Poéte" landed to planet clubmoustache, it was a surprise, I really didn't expect that at all, but quickly the mysterious Jack and his sideburns intrigued me...

I leave you alone now to meet him personally!

Tesla Boy - Neon Love by Tesla Boy / DJ Futures

Simply indescribable!



I can tell that tonight is a special rainy night because this is the first time on this blog that I publish something with such personal contain.
Some will think that this article is useless, boring or the photo is not perfectly taken, etc…
What should I answer to these ones?
I will simply say that this photo means a lot to me, makes me travel in time and feel good. This is a moment of souvenirs and passion I want to share with you including those who don't care about or just don't understand!

While watching across my window and listening some music, I am thinking about the good times spent with my love and I can tell you I am thousand miles away from home!
It is such a good feeling that it doesn't make me want to get back to the reality...

Hope you understand that kind of feelings, which is almost indescribable.


(The photo was edited by one of the two cats, named Farah).
