Episode 13.
It’s funny how a short break from your favourite band can put a refreshed perspective on what it actually means to you, and boy, did I miss it.
Almost three months without a gig, coming back to Maribor for a 3-hour Siddharta special. Explosive! My inner trigger-happy child went ballistic with a record-breaking 9017 photos in a single evening, almost 40k steps, followed by 10+ hours of editing on a Sunday. I’ll admit – I didn’t miss this part, but meeting the crew, the band and the amazing fans was definitely a highlight of 2026 so far. Grateful.
You can find the album on the band’s website and Facebook page. I’ll upload a few of my favourites to the website in a few days – I promise.
Do The Thing
Given that the theme is holding steady for a few weeks now, updating the website clearly isn’t one of the priorities. Even though I’m lagging with an ever-increasing number of unpublished events, I’m extending this section as a gentle, but prickly to-do list.
- Dan D event, celebrating the artists whose artwork accompanied the final album
- Second :Projekt event, celebrating and learning about hoppy beers
- Max Richter in Cankarjev dom
- Generator in sold-out Kino Šiška
Highlights Of The Week
- 3A Servis in Ljubljana, true MVPs, fixing my 70-200mm in less than 10 minutes. I can’t thank you enough.
- Saw a Lotus Exige with Gulf livery and MIK MIK license plate. Made my day.
- Successfully finalized the tattoo with Azram. A piece of art.
- A si kolesar? Si! taking care of my bicycles. Much appreciated.
- Farm El Mirador Elkin Guzman coffee by Pražarna. Funky goodness.
Low-darks Of The Week
- Committed to selling my beloved Matilda the Fixie. If you need a new bike with character, I’ve got you. Sad, but 18% inclines are not a friendly place for a fixed gear bicycle.
Song Of The Week
Hocus Pocus by Focus, live version from ’73 on NBC. Something ‘funky’.
This week, no album special – instead, Live At Wembley Stadium by Foo Fighters. If you listen closely, you’ll find a version of Hocus Pocus in there as well. And don’t miss out on the triangle solo.
We miss you Taylor.

This time, I’m asking for your recommendations – what’s the last meal you remember and would love to have again? Let me know.
That’s Episode 13. Thanks for reading.
See you next Monday.
