Fireworks over the Sydney Opera House
And so we come to the last post of the year. As I’m using a PC at my parents’ place because my laptop is currently a virus infested pile of uselessness (yeah thanks, hackers) and I’m sitting down the hall in the extremely un-air conditioned part of the house, this will be brief!
New Year’s Eve will be a fairly low key event for me this year, as it is most years. I don’t get too caught up in the whole New Year’s stuff I have to say. Last year I did go down to Melbourne for the whole fireworks in the city experience (haven’t done the Sydney one you see pictured above though), but all I really remember is getting trapped in a big bottleneck crowd crush, unable to escape for nearly 40 mins. It was hot and sticky and I don’t cope with crowds at the best of times, let alone in the middle of a heatwave. Ugh, never again.
I will leave you today with a hodgepodge of new tracks (well new to me at least) that I’ve been sampling this week. Have a fantastic New Year’s Eve, whatever highjinks or antics you get up to, and I look forward to talking to you all and sharing more wonderful music with you next year. Here’s to 2010! Oh, and there’s apparently going to be a blue moon tonight, so in honour of this event I’ve included a little something from a certain man you may have heard of, Mr Elvis Presley. Enjoy!
Midfield Maestro – There Will Be Fireworks (unintentional teaming with the theme there – go me!)
Music Belongs To Those Who Make It – Woodpigeon
Weightless One – Two Hours Traffic
Hi Agnes, thank you for all the great music this year. You’ve introduced me to some real gems, and I always enjoy your writing and beautiful photos too. Happy New Year to you!!
(and I hope the computer is fixed up soon!)
Oh thank you for your lovely words Greer, they’re much appreciated!
The laptop is all fixed too – it’s quite handy having a dad who knows his computers! It was dealt with quick smart and we’re rolling again already.
great picture of the Opera House and Bridge, was amazing to see the youtubes of it too! Hey, check out our blog for some Australian bands and info as well. Are you covering BDO this year for your blog? We were able to get press passes so we are very excited with the band lineup for 2010!!!
Cheers!
Indy
Hi Indy, yes I am heading to BDO and will definitely write about the bands I get to see. I didn’t try to snag any press passes though, preferred to take a more sedate approach! I’ll certainly look out for your coverage though. What bands are you particularly hanging out for?
