This past year I’ve been to a number of amazing concerts of some the most wonderful, unforgettable, astonishing and divine bands and artists. This is my seen live list of 2007:

Pop Levi (February)
My Brightest Diamond (February)
Aereogramme (February)
Susanna and the Magical Orchestra (May)
Erase Errata (July)
Au Revoir Simone (July)
To My Boy (July)
You say party! We say die! (support: Appie Kim) (November)
St. Vincent (support: Windmill) (December)
Alela Diane (support: Alina Hardin) (December)

There’s only one disadvantage about going to concerts, I went on my own 80% of the time this past year. Meaning to say I didn’t find anyone to go with me, does this sound sad, it probably does. I’d love to have some more company next year, going alone doesn’t make a concert less beautiful, absolutely not. Having company makes it more of a shared experience, and I’m of the opinion that these bands I see live deserve to be seen live by a lot more people. I just don’t seem to get them along, and it would simply be ‘gezellig‘ if I had some people to come with me to live shows, having fun and buying drinks for eachother .
Alas, I’m already looking forward to 2008, though the agenda is still empty, I do believe I’ll be seeing some remarkable bands and artists next year.
