T-shirts are a really interesting method of memorising events. When ever you go to an event such as a concert or a festival, merchandise such as t-shirts and hoodies will be on sale, and it is obviously rather popular to purchase such a thing.

I’ve not been to a huge amount of gigs, but I’ve decided to backtrack on the ones I have been to and attempt to buy t-shirts for them, such as the Placebo 2007 gig, and every event I go to from now on, I’m going to purchase a t-shirt for, just for the sake of having the memory. In 20 years or so, it would be nice to be able to look at a pile of t-shirts of various colours and reminisce over the various experiences they remind me of.

I bought tickets for Tallis and I to go to Download festival this year. Whilst the line up hasn’t gone down too well amongst the crowds of people that usually go, there are a few bands that I am looking forward to seeing (and more are to be announced). Generally though, I am looking forward to the atmosphere that everybody talks about. I can’t wait to be on a campsite with thousands of people who love music, and getting to meet lots of new people.

We’re also going to see Pendulum soon, which will be an interesting experience. Hopefully I’ll be able to get tickets to go to Beautiful Days as well. I’d love to see The Levellers live.
