SkyLion: "The 10 Free CD Project"

skylionmusic:

I had this dream last night where we mailed 10 of our demo CD’s to 100 different people all over the world, and it grew our band to an amazing international fan base. Suddenly, this allowed us to play more shows, make more CD’s, and even tour…..and when I woke up, I realised this didn’t have to be…

In a sense, it is the coming back, the return which gives meaning to the going forth. We really don’t know where we’ve been until we come back to where we were - only where we were may not be as it was because of who we’ve become, which, after all, is why we left.

On Sunday I went to big day out for the first time, and despite hearing mixed reviews and a lot of people complaining about this year’s line-up, I had the funnest day I have had in a very long time. It was a sweltering 36 degrees, and I was already a little burnt from spending the day before at Cape Paterson so a t-shirt was necessary. I’m so happy I made that life choice, as at times I felt like I was even being burnt through my tee. I snuck in a full bottle of vodka via various creative methods because a) I am ridiculously poor and could not afford to pay $12 for a can of spirits and b) you had to consume your *purchased* drinks in bar areas (lame), so at least by BYOing I got to drink wherever I wanted. They were giving away free slurpees and raspberry ice tea all day, so between consuming my weight in complimentary refreshments and adding my own little somethin’ to them, I was set.

Seeing Parkway and Living End made me feel like my sixteen year old self,  I watched My Chemical Romance only because I’m a supportive girlfriend, The Getaway Plan didn’t play anything I would have liked to have heard, Kimbra, Foster the People and Best Coast were good but Girl Talk and Kanye blew my mind and made the day worthwhile in themselves. So so good.
