Soundwave 2008
Thursday, February 28th, 2008
This is a Soundwave:
This year, the Soundwave festival got distorted and turned into this:
Geeze… what a mess. People everywhere you turn… too many to count… bad planning… great music though… want to know what happened?

I’m deaf. Oh shit am I deaf.
Monday, February 25th, 2008
Damn. I've done more music this week than I think I have in a while.
And now I'm deaf.
But I did meet a hot girl from New Zealand tonight. I got her email.
Oh and I saw As Tall As Lions & The Dear Hunter. Sweet.
I'll be writing about Soundwave and tonight's concert in the next day or two.
For now, here's a taste of tonight…
The lead singer from the Dear Hunter.
Falling asleep now…

Waiting for Nigel
Sunday, February 24th, 2008
I started writing this on Thursday night on the way to the Nigel Kennedy gig at Kell's Kitchen. I didn't know what to expect other than that it was Nigel Kennedy and jazz… that's all I really needed to know. I knew he was playing with some of Sydney's top musicians and having seen him play with Jonathan Zwartz before, I knew this was going to be brilliant. I just didn't know how brilliant.
So here's my writing from Thursday to Friday and even a little bit from Sunday.
And all of these images are shot by me and therefore copyrighted to me, but if you want to use them, don't hesitate to give me a holler by leaving me a comment and I can provide bigger ones. Like if you want to print some and such.
Dad trying to get an interview out of Nigel…

The blog entry is almost finished.
The pictures are all done.
All I need to do now is put it all together.
But before I do, here's the glimpse of a master…

A sigh before bed
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008
*sigh*
Dad got me my birthday present tonight.
*sigh*
Earlier this week, I started cleaning out my room because I realised that
1. I didn't need a lot of crap and could be cleaner, and
2. My bed was getting crappier and I could probably move to a Queen from the Single I was on
…so I started cleaning up, opted to give my red desk that I merely used for holding stuff to my brother, and then went in and told my Dad that the present he was having such trouble finding for me since November was to be a little donation into me buying a new bed. Like a little bit into the frame. That sort of thing.
*sigh*
So Dad came back from his blues jam tonight with my present.
Guess what it isn't?
*sigh*
It's not that I don't want a violin… I do, but I'd prefer to have tried it in store quickly before going "well no, this probably isn't for me".
I mean yes, I can play cello… but that was why I wanted one of those cheap crappy cellos from eBay for so long… so I could play what I know… but a violin… what do I do there?! Especially since I'm a lefty and a regular violin which is typically right-handed is really not made for a lefty… whereas the cello I can deal with because the neck is larger and easier to hold.
*sigh*
You're not supposed to buy instruments without the people there… I mean… I can learn violin but…
*sigh*
