A year of music so far

I've seen loads of amazing, mainly dance, bands and DJs this year. It's been emotional, to say the least. I've probably forgotten some, particularly at the two big festivals (Glade and Ozora)...

Thanks to Eartheart for keeping us going with Chai and pizzapizzapizza hotorganicpizza at Ozora - lifesavers;
The Hungarian crew near the chillout tent for bean bags, massage and general good vibes;
RNID for Don't Lose the Music and for their commitment at Glade;
My legs for not dying on me;
The weather for (mostly) not sh*tting too hard on us, and especially for the sun coming out during Hallucinogen;
The Sketchy cafe;
All the crew at Cohesion for amazing vibes every month, and Sati and Prozak in particular;
Rammstein;
Simon Posford;
Duncan for booking Get Loaded;
Donna for smiling and general loveliness;
Lucian for sorting out Ozora and for unmatched balls-deep commitment to hard rave;
Tinski for late night psy;
Albert Hofmann;
Red Bull;
Easyjet and BA but not fugging Ryanair;
My bed.

Travelling without moving

The psy extends life
The psy expands consciousness
The psy is vital to space travel

Travel without moving
