Summer Sonic '08

Just came back from two days of sweating it out in Osaka for the Summer Sonic festival. Excellently run concert on all fronts, but the memories I take with me will be of what happened when the stages faded away and only notes and words remained. Nearly impossible to pick a single highlight, but it'd be hard to argue against finally hearing "Bittersweet Symphony" live (check that one off the bucket list). Here's just a small sample of the other sights and sounds that made an impression on me.


MGMT on the Sonic Stage


Bedouin Soundclash

The Verve, pre-Richard Ashcroft meltdown


cooling off in front of the misters


Viva La Vida
