Bloody Valentines. Is that all anyone can ever talk about in February? Here in Ibiza, it took on slightly less of a mercenary tactic than in bigger cities (thankfully!) but the telltale heart-shaped balloons, long queues in the florist and overpriced ‘special' restaurant menus last Sunday still paid testament to the fact that love is indeed a serious business.
Bah humbug. We've always loved Sundays. Any given Sunday, as the case may be - it doesn't need to be attached to the patron saint of perfumes for us to declare it loud and proud. Here at We Love... HQ we're in the thick of plans to entertain you every Sunday at Space this coming summer. In fact, right now it's all go, go, go in our offices... though to be honest, part of this could also be attributed to the fact the bosses are back this week, as the rooms are frantically being swept, scrubbed and stripped of any telltale Burger King wrappers accordingly!
Speaking of food and the We Love... offices however, it might be worth mentioning that in the wake of yet another loveless V.Day on the island, a certain pair of We Love staffers were spotted getting cosy over a gi-normous roast dinner at island staple Sunday haunt JD's Bistro, on the sunny-but-windy shores of Playa D'en Bossa. Were they crying into one another's gravy boats or merely hatching new plans to win the hearts of the unsuspecting local lasses?
Our tip to the boys: One surefire way to get your date to hold your hand is to take her down into the depths of Necropolis Del Puig Des Molins in Ibiza Town, to check out the spooky tombs, catacombs, mummies and skeletons of Ibiza's ancient Phoenician forefathers. Applications for prospective date partners on a postcard please!

WE LOVE... OFFICE LISTENING
On any given day of the week, the We Love... office is a cacophony of rocking lo-fi garage stoner-surf from Ruairi, pretty Balearica from Julie and unapologetic classic rock and hip hop from Andy, who then harks back to summer highlights while Julie turns vintage and sophisticated and Ruairi brings balance with cascading classical and electronic chords with some rip-roaring ‘60s rhythm and blues. Sound like a vicious cycle? Click on each link to listen for yourself!

WE LOVE... ANDY WARHOL - EMPIRE
A musical event took place in New York recently, eight hours of solid sound, as a live accompaniment to Andy Warhol's Empire – a film notorious for its one, unchanging shot of the Empire State Building. The eight-hour, five-minute film, which is typically shown in a theatre, lacks a traditional narrative or characters. According to Warhol, the point of this film – perhaps his most famous and influential cinematic work – is to ‘see time go by'.

WE LOVE... SCIENCE LESSONS
As well as loving Space, the nightclub, we also love space, the final frontier. Today's lesson has a more historical approach as I take a look at some of humanity's more ‘off the wall' efforts to make contact with our universal neighbours. For some, the thought of being alone in the universe seems logical, others feel that if we aren't alone then our neighbours will come to visit us and then there are the people who are actively extending a hand into the cosmos...
