My enthusiasm for music often peaks late at night, when I spend time really listening to music and giving it my undivided attention. However, I was stimulated enough to write about music just now at a time when I can’t even find my headphones.

This is primarily because of 2 factors:

1. Max Bemis almost talked to me on Twitter
2. The Big Day Out 2010 line-up was announced

Say Anything is in my top 3 favourite bands, and when I helped Max Bemis and supplied him with a YouTube link on Twitter, I thought he was going to reply to me and make my day! Alas, he did not @reply. But I can take solace in the fact that I saw him and Say Anything live in Sydney, and was so fucking close to the front I touched his hair when he leaned in to sing with the crowd! (I’m getting so worked up already)

Muse (first of all, how epic is The Resistance, right? Exogenesis ftw) playing at the Big Day Out is a big deal for me, because I’m planning to see as much of them live as I can while they are here in Australia, and just their sideline show will surely not be enough to satisfy me.

Plus, I just got this great feeling that is kind of tied into the Big Day Out and Soundwave etc, which is that summer is coming. I don’t associate hot weather with the beach anymore, I just think of Big Day Out 2009 and how awesome it was, and how music festivals – nay, music itself is just fucking awesome.

I’m just full of basic complimentary adjectives like ‘awesome’ and ‘great’ tonight… Later, I’ll write something more specific on my passion for music. Preferably some time between now and at least 50 hours of sleep
