S01E19 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 19. A month and a few days. That’s the gap since Episode 18, and I’d love to tell you there’s a dramatic reason. There isn’t. Just several unfinished drafts, a few deleted ones, and a steady supply of excuses. Sitting in a coffee shop, pondering how I still can’t wrap this one up, feeling…

Koala Voice, Kisovec
Congrats on 500 concerts! Koala Voice took it back to where it all started – Kisovec. After 15 years, 5 albums, Manca, Domen, Tilen and Miha came full circle and brought the show to their hometown crowd. Easily one of the best live bands out there and a pleasure every single time. Here are a…

Foto Beseničar Exhibition
Three months ago, I got a deceptively simple question: “Marko, can you pick 9 photos for a small exhibition at our shop?” Sure. I’ll do my best. It turned out to be one of the harder tasks I’d taken on in a while: nine frames out of 15 years and exactly 850 concerts, which took…

Siddharta Unreleased, Tabor Hall
Playing around with the idea of publishing some unseen photographs that didn’t make the final selection, or just stayed hidden due to the sheer number of the final album. Sometimes, ‘Trigger-happy’ could be my middle name Here’s the first one, an unreleased selection from Siddharta’s 30th anniversary in Maribor.

Lojze Krajnčan, black & white
Following up on Hvala, Lojze! post, here’s an additional, alternative gallery of my favourite black & white moments from the same concert. Lojze, you will be missed.

Hvala, Lojze!
Forty years with Big Band RTV Slovenija, ten as artistic director. Countless arrangements, concerts, recordings and collaborations later, Lojze Krajnčan said farewell with his final concert at Cankarjev dom. Joined on stage by the orchestra and a lineup of guests, the evening felt like a well-earned bow, not a goodbye. Big night at the Linhart…

Yan Baray, Tabor Hall
Yan Baray and the band opened the night for Flirrt and warmed up the Tabor Hall audience. Good vibes, a good band, and a few photos.

Flirrt, Tabor Hall
A sold-out show at Maribor’s Tabor Hall, with more than 4,000 people in the room? That’s Flirrt. With Kaja Kovačič, Vili Resnik and Modrijani joining the band on stage, the evening became another reminder that Flirrt is still building momentum. Not chasing records, just collecting them. Casually.

Siddharta, 30 za 30, Tabor Hall
Bringing celebrations for bands’ 30th birthday to Maribor, Siddharta really went all out with a near 3-hour setlist. Supported by Cherry Flavoured, sold out Tabor Hall, Jani rocking Gliste t-shirt, Primož celebrating his own birthday, AND a boatload of pyro – what else can you wish for? More songs, I know…

Cherry Flavoured, Tabor Hall
Supporting Siddharta in Maribor, Cherry Flavoured delivered an explosive show. My initial plan was just to warm up, but the band’s energy convinced me to stay for a few songs (and photos). If you get the chance, check them out live. If I’m not mistaken, the guys are releasing their first album in late November,…

S01E18 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 18. A short newsletter break during May 1st holidays turned out to an unscheduled three-and-a-half-week hiatus? Indeed. Instead of listing several excuses, I’ve prepared a dance rant. But first, happy beeps! After months of recovery, I went for a run. My pinky, my knee and my calf muscle mutually agreed and allowed a few short runs. Putting the shoes…

S01E17 – Anything But Therapy
Episode 17. This week, I’m skipping the circles of hell, despite some strong contenders. Maybe in a future episode. For now, the focus finally shifted to something long overdue: the website. I refreshed the homepage photos, simplified the about page, and added a few galleries that had been sitting in drafts for far too long.…
