09/23 - Give Me Scissors And I'm Running On The Tightrope

Went to another festival. These were my highlights:

 

 

Sara Parkman - Öppna Spjäll

Powerful opening concert.

 

 

Caroline Polachek - Caroline Shut Up   

The one I looked most forward to and the one that lived up to my expectations. Amazing artsy pop diva experience. Top notch stage design, stage presence, hits, and spinetingling vocal acrobatics.

 

 

Pusha T - Diet Coke

Best mosh pit!

Blur - Country House

My second blur "reunion" concert at the same festival. Last time was in 2012 and this time was as good or maybe even better. A reason as good as any to post one of the best upper class charicatures, disguised as a perfect pop hit, referencing Orwell's Animal Farm, ever.

Blow, blow me out. I am so sad, I don't know why...

Håkan Hellström - Valborg

It was years since I saw Håkan, and this wasn't quite the experience I remembered. A little bit too showy, not quite feeling the genuinity. It made me a bit sad, wondering whether it was me who'd finally lost contact with my teenage self. But then, the wistful slower numbers managed to reach through and squeeze some emotions out of this withered 40-year-old.
