Awkward – San Cisco

That, my friends, is a photo Chrystal took during the last song played by the Arctic Monkeys at the Enmore Theatre on Friday. Yep, that was bolded because MY GOD seeing them was such a big deal. Their show was so so so good, their setlist was full of great classics (Crying Lightning, I Bet That You Looked Good on the Dancefloor, Teddy Picker, Fluorescent Adolescent, Brianstorm), and all my favourites from the new record (Black Treacle, The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala, She’s Thunderstorms). Alex is incredible live, don’t let anyone tell you any different. They’re actually an incredibly talented group – Miles Kane made some fun appearances in there too. The only mildly annoying thing was where we were standing – it was close enough (whenever you take photos at concerts it always seems like you’re so much further away than you are) but to our left were couples constantly making out, and to our right were a collection of 5 or 6 40 year olds trying to re-live their youth and open a moshpit.

Basically, there is a reason why I love this band so much. They were so amazing.

Peter Pan – Jinja Safari
Photo credit

This was last Friday, the girls in the last photo and I went to see Jinja Safari play, a kind of end-of-exams celebration. It was great because before we went to the concert we went to eat sushi and a few members of the band were at the same restaurant. Just a bit of fun, more or less.

Fantastic show, though. Probably one of my favourite Australian acts out, too. They played a lot from their EP which I really appreciated seeing as its the only stuff of theirs I have, and a lot of different stuff too. Even cracked out the acrobatics and the lead guy climbed around the stage with his vuvuzella (fucking vuvuzellas). The supports were iffy but y’know. It was just a brilliant night.

Hawaiin Air – Friendly Fires

I am currently some way through the last week of the second term of school. The rest of this week, then break for 2. You have no idea how much I am looking forward to it.

Its been kind of exciting lately. Friday night was fun, Tiffany came over for a while, then we went out. All the uni exams are done so I get to see those guys (Tiffany, Luke, etc) more. Saturday had a cute little session at Samantha’s, and Sunday had a cute date with Chrystal. We went to these abandoned tram yards which (as you can see) have been trashed and graffiti-ed and such. I had to get her to model for my art major work, so got a lot of great shots and such. Its such a scenic place. Afterwards we went to a cute cafe and went to see X-Men First Class (which is the most exciting film I’ve seen for such a long time).

The rest of my time lately has been governed by assessments (which are all done for the term, so cheerin’), downloading new music (Manchester Orchestra, Friendly Fires, The Dodos, Cat Power, Florence & the Machine, Arctic Monkeys (♥), and Frank Turner all now hold new or updates places in my life), and sorting out life. Should be getting a new phone soon, so hopes up for that.

I just need holidays nowwww !
