BS Guide To Øya: See and Avoid
Finally it’s time for another edition of the Øya Festival in little ol’ Oslo. Despite what you might think, Bad Sounds generally has a good time at Øya and we will be there again this year. For 2014, Øya have moved to the area known as Tøyen. Tøyen has been neglected by politicians for decades, […] …

Primavera Sounds: Day 1
Oh Barcelona, city of Picasso; or, at least a city in the country where he was born…and that architect guy whose name sounds like that white cheese, and whose churches they never seem to finish building. Sangria, ridiculously strong cocktails, up until the 2010 ban; bullfights, at least one good soccer team, and of course, […] …
