Owen Pallett live at Union Chapel, this show was ten times better than his previous Union Chapel one. I think with the album was more rehearsed, and the fact that we’ve all heard Heartland made this show enjoyable. The highlight was definitely when he played Lewis Takes His Shirt Off. Some skillz on the violin.
The beginning of the show was pretty lulz, apparently there’s a bar! :O Videos ensue…
It’d be right to say 2009 was definitely a year of gigging, given that over 40% of the time I’ll be at a gig (no doubt shooting)
Spent several painful nights jotting down all the gigs I’ve been to in 2009. The statistics side was the best bit out of it, I managed to calculate a total of 381 sets for the entire year out of the 152 gigs. May strangely being the one where I gigged the most.
The most visited venue was strangely union chapel (though I love that place so much
) and the most visited band was… uhm… I haven’t worked it out yet…
But yeah, this photo was taken as my second to last 365 shot. It just got so delayed after the damn gig list! Sorry folks
Oh and here’s the spreadsheet of the gigs, enjoy spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tUlX-uDuEpLNOAoYsjzW16w&a…

Who would have thought Borderlands could be so addictive
11 Jan
Haven’t been posting much on the blog but will hopefully get back on track with this bad boy. Right now i’m ploughing through a game called Borderlands which is sort of a first person shootemup mashed in with RPG. It’s very addictive and has got me off going on Mac land for a while (play it on Windows 7 you see!).
But yeah… i have loads of posts to update with, mainly those conclusive 2009 posts and uhm… yeah… should be updating this a bit more when i have the time. For now enjoy this photo of my Katamari t shirt. I’ve ended 365 last year and feel ever so relaxed that i don’t need to shoot something everyday nows. Though my poor camera feels every so neglected 
Thought I’d share some holiday photos from Ghent, knowing that I have venice photos to upload means I need to get all these Ghent ones sorted before moving on! Ghent was an awesome holiday so there’s no need to neglect that bad boy, anyway, here’s the photos:
No idea when i’ll start uploading these badboys like crazy but i thought i’d start you guys off with this.
This was probably one of my simple pleasures during venice. The rule was, if i see a place that sells ice cream… i buy an ice cream.
The rule was good.
More venice antics later

Pretty much the literal name for these bad boy cufflinks. I don’t know why, but I always thought cufflinks were the sign that someone is growing up. Not the first paycheque, or the first time they’ve opened up an ISA account for their savings and what, it’s all about the first cufflinks for their business or dress shirts. No more of that pre buttoned shirt crap business malark (well… that’s not true but you know what I mean).
Anyway, they make me look pretty menacing, plus the design is pretty timeless so it’s an overall win ^_^
But yeah, this will be my last photo before I head off to Venice for the weekend. Will obviously be taking my camera with me so there will be plenty of photos to share after I come back ^_^

The Sounds live at Electric Ballroom, lead singer Maja really knows how to get a crowd going. This was a pretty ace show with Matt and Kim supporting and the fact that photographers got to stay in the photopit to enjoy the show ^_^ This show was nice and pumped, was nicer hearing the set after their latest sophomore album, Crossing The Rubicon was out. The highlight was most likely when they brought up a dude on stage to play the cowbell but he was all kinds of horrific in terms of whacking the cowbell in beat, I think he was a bit too excited. Lots of posing, jumping and dancing on stage (lame review i know! but hey, i hate writing with so little time available)
Tickley Feather live at Cafe OTO. Really enjoyed seeing them live, the atmosphere was chillaxing and the music was soothing and quirky. Singer Annie Sachs was lovely throughout the show, giving away free DIY instruments to the crowd, telling us funny anecdotes and evening singing about my socks halfway through a song ^_^. The audience were in giggles during the intervals with Annie’s crazy sense of humour and eeir vocals. Was definitely a great show. More photos..
