one year, 18 hours and 50 min, since i saw alex turner live

Last night was truly amazing! I was supposed to bring my sister with me, but something showed up. So instead of my sister, Hanna came instead. That morning it started to rain a lot. It didn’t rain for an hour or so, but literally for hours. So of course I packed myself with warm and thick clothes, and wore wellies because I knew it was going to be muddy. Neither did I brought my SLR, ‘cause I heard some rumours before that it wasn’t allowed to bring SLR in to the festival. Just right before we were entering the festival, the sun decided to show up. GOD DAMN IT! And while wandering around, I noticed several people with SLR around their neck. I didn’t have a digital camera either, so the result was bad mobile pictures. Beside from bad choice with clothes and horrible equality pictures, the line up was magnificent! I saw Susanne Sundfør, my favourite: Marina and the Diamonds, La Roux and Robyn.

Gosh, I have never danced so much during a concert before and Robyn was truly one of the best live I have ever seen and that lady can dance! She made my ass shake for sure!. Marina and diamonds didn’t last so much, I think she had trouble with her voice, since she repeated said “I’m starting to lose my voice etc.” Except for the short concert, I loved her stage appearance with rad round sunglasses and awesome “costumes”. La Roux was OK, I was surprised how good she sounded live, ‘cause I have always had in my mind she has a suckie voice live.

The end of the day, my voice got so sore after singing along so much and all that screaming. I had a great time, though, especially when I had Hanna along, but I’m so mad at myself for not bringing along my camera. Haha, poor Hanna, she forgot to bring wellies, so you can imagine how muddy she got after a day.

  5. Sounds awesome! And I agree, Robyn is so energetic on stage. Pity about the SLR, but better to be safe than sorry I guess?
