Joszje

EELS is my all-time hero. I first attended one of his concerts shortly after my 13th birthday. Since that day, I went to all his concerts in Belgium.

Discovering new music is really an obsession for me. Every day, while I am working, I listen to at least one, most often several, new albums. Of course that comes with a problem: I have no time left to listen to brilliant albums from the past. If anyone can help me with this problem... The last few months, I liked for instance Julia Holter, Deptford Goth, King Krule and London Grammar.

I like crocheting. I make scarfs, handbags and monsters and other toys.

I can knit socks, too, but often I'm bored after one sock, so that's a problem.

Some of my favourite writers: William Boyd, Zadie Smith, Karl Ove Knausgard, Dave Eggers, Graham Swift, Lionel Shriver, David Mitchell,...

Living on planet earth for 27 years, mostly in the incredibly beautiful city of Ghent, I learned that the most important thing is to say yes. Yes to new things, yes to scary things, yes to stupid of bizar things, and yes to all people, of course. I have done some travelling (a lot of European countries, Brasil, Togo) but I still think that the next village is as interesting as the other side of the world, if you are prepared to really look and really listen. If I trust you, which I sometimes immediately do, I am talkative. If I think you don't like me, I keep silent.
