“I started thinking about things in a very mechanical way. I found it interesting how we would use our senses to come up with an emotional reaction. As I get older you get to know yourself better and I realized that a lot of my emotional reactions were mechanical responses and that was hugely influential. I didn’t want to be a robot. But the reason why we are superior to computers is that we have emotions and I realized that emotions are mechanical so the only thing left between us and robots is curiosity and inspiration — and I don’t think you can program that into a computer. That’s definitely where I was at when I started writing the record.”
Patrick Watson the Canadian singer-songwriter from Montreal has just announced the band’s fifth album “Love Songs for Robots” on May 12.

…weeks left until we finally have the chance to look in the eyes of our daughter for the first time. I still can’t picture her and I don’t feel the urge because I want to be free of all this expectation stuff. I just can’t wait feeling her little body pressed against mine, hearing her tiny lungs being filled up with air by her first inhale, wiring her sweet baby scent into my body and taking her in in with my eyes, mind and heart.

Tulips – almost two weeks old. They are getting more beautiful each day, like a good bottle of wine.

Great pom pom lamps in Berlin.
Simply love what London indie pop outfit Felt Tip did to Neil Young’s “Only love can break your heart”! Cover is not the right expression, it definitely feels like a whole new song!
