I tre “music moments” del 2011
Ovverosia, tre momenti particolarmente emozionanti legati alla musica
1. Una settimana di tour in Europa con gli A Classic Education.
2. Esultare per passaggi sulle radio nazionali italiane, come segno di consacrazione popolare, dei Girls.
3. Incontrare casualmente Jens Lekman in un bar di Glasgow e non disturbarlo.
