Arctic Monkeys

It's like almost a month late, BUT I needed to share my absolutely fantastic experience at Arctic Monkeys on the 10th of May in Adelaide!

Alex Turner was definitely pointing at me here!

So much joy!

I met the one of my obsessions and loves of my life on Thursday night. I had seen him once before in February, but this was a millions times better because it was intimate, and I was less than a metre away from him for an hour, and got into gaze into his eyes for the same amount of time as he serenaded me.

I am talking about James Keogh aka Vance Joy, one of the most talented and gorgeous music talents in Australia. This guy has it all. He is charismatic, funny, tells a good anecdote, has mad guitar skills, writes sentimental lyrics, and a voice that makes me never want to listen to any other artist ever again.

Laneway 2014

Friday has to be one of the best days of my life. OF MY LIFE! It was my second Laneway experience, and I had no idea how it was going to top last year. However, it definitely did. The line-up was amazing, the company I had was fantastic, and the atmosphere at Hart's Mill in Port Adelaide was absolutely phenomenal.

My friends and me at the barrier for the whole day!!! (I'm the asian on the left with the awkward mouth)

With a plan in mind, armed with sunscreen and bottles of water, and the patience to stand 9 hours in the same spot, we were in for a good time. Here are some of the acts and highlights of the day:

Old Pine by Ben Howard

So pretty much all I've been listening to this year is 'Old Pine' by Ben Howard, especially during this hell of a SWOTVAC. And the more I listen to it, the more I fall in love with it, in every way possible. The instrumental, Ben's voice, the lyrics. But, I wanted to explain how I fell in love with the song. All it took was the first 10 seconds.
