This weekend I am heading to Razlog to check out the <a href="http://elevation.bg/" target="_blank">Elevation Music Festival</a>. My friend and colleague M. is <em>really</em> into music and got a bunch of teachers lined up to attend.

I wrote about the festival <a href="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/2011/04/30/elevation-music-festival-in-june/" target="_blank">on my blog couple of months ago</a> but it was a quick, quick post. Basically, I bought my tickets, wrote the date down in my planner and then promptly moved on to thinking/worrying about other things.

The for the last two or so weeks he's been putting together a daily emailing highlighting bands and with links to YouTube videos.  It's been great fun to get an email with music to listen to and to get a little more familiar with some of the groups I don't know (or don't know as well).

The best part of this set up is that that M. does all the hard work and I get all the benefits. I am telling you this set-up really couldn't be better. It's kind of like he's an email DJ. That's pretty cool. Oh, and it's a heck of a lot better than spam.<!--more-->

It doesn't hurt that I've been so busy recently that I probably wouldn't take the time to do it myself.  (Yeah, that's me whining about work, grades, tests and what not. Luckily there are only two weeks of school left this year.)

On a less whiny note, the weather is going to be hot, hot this weekend and really right now I can't imagine a better way to spend my weekend.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

Morcheeba and From Russia With Love / Rome Wasn't Built In A Day.

Parov Stelar - Catgroove. This guy (and his dancing) is out of control. Check out this video.

Then there's Gentleman &amp; The Evolution and It no Pretty.  Turns out he's German's #1 reggae artist.

So who else is going? And which groups are you looking forward to?
