Everyone who loves Sibylle Baier really loves Sibylle Baier. If you go on a date and the other person is also a Sibylle fan then you have to fall in love. She’s this amazing German folk singer who made recordings in the 1970s which were only released in 2006. Her song Colour Green is the best song to walk sadly across bridges to, in my opinion.

Found her music a while back and it stayed close to my heart ever since! Added almost her whole Colour Green album to one of my early playlist that I still like to revisit on the occasion. Sibylle’s music has a cool histpry and I recommend looking into it if it tickles ur fancy :-)

Known best for her early work with Wim Wenders, and for her album "Colour Green," Sibylle Baier remains one of the most beautiful and elusive artists of recent times. After giving up a career in the arts in Germany to raise a family in America, her son found old recordings of her music from the 70s and compiled them into a CD album for her 50th birthday for her and all her party guests. Somehow J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr received a copy, and gave it to the execs at the Twin Orange label, where they ended up publishing it in 2006. "Colour Green" remains one of the most hauntingly beautiful albums I've ever heard. It's the perfect album for autumn, right as the leaves are changing.

She was a force to be reckoned with. Finding this hidden gem was a gift. A collection of songs from 1970-1973, released in 2006.

A once- favoured first date spot which I overused and now only go to alone, either to smoke furiously in the yard if in a mood about something, or to watch Jeopardy at the bar with the bartender and other strays

I’m a huge advocate of crossing a bridge every day by foot. When I’m depressed I can’t do anything much, can’t do a proper work out or cook a meal or read or write, but I can always manage to cross a bridge. In London this means walking from my place in South East into town across Waterloo Bridge to go to therapy or the library, and in New York I like going from Clinton Hill across the Manhattan Bridge, usually just to go into Lovely Day thai cafe and eat something and turn right back around. Better than nothing!!

This is a debut novel by a hugely talented Irish writer about a teenage girl in 1960s New York who ends up working in Warhol’s Factory, transcribing taped conversations destined to be collated into an experimental novel. It’s weird and wild and extremely funny and sad, perfect for anyone used to wandering around a glamorous city feeling like a lumpen freak.
