Melt! Festival 2013 Friday Highlights

  My trip to Melt Festival 2013 was all very last minute. I literally got the last ticket for the hotel party train that will take me from Essen directly to Ferropolis where the festival is. I arrived last Friday quite rested because I went to bed as soon as I hopped on the train. […]

Capture the Colour of summer music festivals

  I believe that I see the world differently than most people. And I mean that literally because I am colorblind. I have red-green colorblindness. I only knew about it when I was 17, when I took the medical exam to enter university. It’s not bad. I didn’t even know I had it until then. […]

Way Out West 2012 Day 3: Miike Snow and yes, I’m still an animal

The last day of Way Out West 2012 was not that happening for me. The only band I wanted to see was Miike Snow. I couldn’t care less for the others, save for Kraftwerk with their 3D glasses gimmick. I didn’t go in the end because I wasn’t able to acquire those free 3D glasses […]

Stockholm Music and Arts Festival 2012

The first-ever edition of Stockholm Music and Arts Festival was packed with some awesome artists in its line-up. How could I ignore Björk and Antony and the Johnsons? The festival was set in the small island of Skeppsholmen in Stockholm. It’s a gorgeous island and I enjoyed walking from the central station to the Old […]

The Shins Live at Hovefestivalen 2012

“This is way beyond my remote concern of being condescending.” Ahhhh, The Shins! My favorite band-on-repeat back in college when I was a skinny, pimply kid with the iPod U2 edition (which is still alive by the way). Their albums “Chutes Too Narrow” and “Oh, Inverted World” were forged in melody and drenched in atmosphere. Their […]
