In spite of my efforts to go to bed early and be well rested before Synergy, I managed to stay up late every night of last week. Monday to Wednesday’s lack of sleep was avoidable but there was nothing I could do about Thursday – LMG’s exclusive Shadowclub gig was pretty much unmissable.
Having another dig through the archives – if you’re interested, here’s what was happening in my life this time 8 years ago up until the present…
2003 – I was a miserable 14yr old, but luckily that misery helped to drive me to truly start discovering photography and music. I had a little Canon Powershot A40 which was really fantastic.
Music I was listening to: RJD2, Interpol, The Rapture, Feeder, Goldfrapp
Next weekend is Synergy Live, something I’ve really been looking forward to this last while. Last year, Synergy was my inaugural music festival and I had an awesome time – the weather was super co-operative (not ridiculously hot like Ramfest), Jax Panik performed live for the first time in their current form and seeing Feeder, long-time favourites of mine, was just amazing.
Oh! Hush thee, my baby, the night is behind us,
And black are the waters that sparkled so green.
The moon, o’er the combers, looks downward to find us,
At rest in the hollows that rustle between.
Where billow meets billow, then soft be thy pillow,
Oh weary wee flipperling, curl at thy ease!
The storm shall not wake thee, nor shark overtake thee,
Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging seas!
– Seal Lullaby by Rudyard Kipling
