Good morning my lovelies!
How are we feeling today? I am very tired, and I just remembered I still have a wet load of clothes in the washing machine (haha!) Oh the joy! I just can’t escape! However, I am very excited about tonight. Bullion is playing at WWU and I simply can’t wait! The excitement is on top, woop woop!
I was asked to put together a little jazzy hiphop podcast. All I can say is that it is in the making, but I thought I would give you a small preview with todays song. I hope you enjoy and have a nice day! I need to go and take care of those wet clothes…

This picture speaks louder than a thousand words. I have been doing a lot of boring stuff today, like washing clothes. In all honesty, I don’t mind washing, I just hate the process of hanging up all the wet clothes and then trying to put them away.
First of all, I always drop at least half of my wet load of clothes on the floor when I try to take them out of the washing machine. Now, since I don’t have a cleaner who regularly comes and cleans my house, it is safe to say that the floor is far away from being clean, which kind of takes away the essence from the whole ‘clean clothes’ scenario once they have actually fallen on the dirty floor (because the clothes are wet and all the dirt and dust just stick to them like flies stick to sugar).
Second of all, there is never enough space to hang up all the wet clothes. This results in that I have to spread out my clothes on various places in the house; on different (dusty) radiators, staircases, hangers, you name it! In theory, this wouldn’t be a problem, if the clothes actually dried rather quickly. But they don’t… I can turn up the heating to 40C in the house, stand and dry them with my hair dryer, it doesn’t help. Sometimes I truly feel like my clothes have a conspiracy against me.
Last, but not least, there is the issue of space. When my clothes are clean, and dry, and oh so very ready to be put away in their places, there’s never enough room in my wardrobe or my chest of drawers to fit them all in! Now what is that about!? I mean, I have gone through the steps above, been frustrated and angry, on the verge of tears and close to throwing them all out and set them on fire, and when I finally think I can get them out of the way and not stress about it, they won’t fit anywhere! So I need to keep them out on my sofa, where they sit and haunt me…
As promised, here is a little Valentines Day present to all of you, made by myself and Gavin from Jus Like Music. Its a little musical postcard made in the name love, just to show our appreciation to all of you who tune in and read and listen, and encourage and support us in what we are doing. You can find the podcast here. I hope you enjoy it!
Much love to all of you! Orsi x
Happy Valentines day my friends!
I was greeted by this lovely bunch of roses when I got into work yesterday. There is nothing quite like it having the whole office singing “Orsi has a boyfriend, Orsi has a loooover”. I wanted to post the picture here on the blog and ask who sent them. But have no fear, I have now figured it all out, so I don’t have to hunt anybody down. It was a nice suprise all in all, and it did make me smile (even if I don’t really like Valentines day). What I found even funnier was when some of the guys at the office went out and bought their girlfriends/wifes gifts and flowers. Better late than never I suppose…
I have a Valentines day gift for you guys too! Hopefully you will like it.
Hello my lovelies!
It’s Friday the 13th today! Let’s hope nothing horrible will happen to any of you (or myself! I mean, what would you ever do without me!? haha) Thanks to all of you who have been messaging me and commenting on the podcast. I must admit, it is a bit overwhelming to get such lovely feedback on my first attempt. And since you are so nice to me, I have decided to let you in on a treat!
I have collaborated with Jeej on a special podcast to mark the occasion of this Anti-Valentines day (yeah, it is Valentines day tomorrow. In case you forgot and you have a partner, I would suggest you act quickly!) You can find the podcast and the tracklisting here.
I hope you enjoy it! Tune back this weekend because I have some more sweet stuff lined up for you.
Much love,
Orsi

I would suggest that you head over to Jus Like Music and read the piece I have written in the memory of J Dilla. It’s nothing major, but it came from the heart…
Wohoo! Look at all the snow! In London! I want to go out and play! The office is having a ‘snowday’ due to the sudden stop of ‘normal functionality’ of the capital.

Read the review of this great 7″ single (Steam by Laura Vane & The Vipertones) at Jus Like Music. I cant sit still when I listen to it! Hope youre having a nice weekend. Im still ill so I feel rather sorry for myself. But now I need to do someting I have been avoiding for way too long, clean.
As requested, I have put together a little playlist for you. I hope it works… if not give me a shout. Im updating it as I go along. (special thanks to Gavin, because I stole some tracks for our joint playlist)
