The Monolators played an amazing, emotional, and intense 10-year anniversary show on the 22nd of September, complete with appearances by everyone who has ever been a member of the band. Here’s a photo I took during a moment:

I adore, but I ignore her.

See, I know it won’t last as I reflect upon my past.

But on severance she makes no difference.

There’s things I won’t let her know, as we’re perfecting our show..

I won’t ignore her - I think I’ll phone her.

I can’t explore her if I ignore her.

Arab Strap - The First Big Weekend

Nothing makes me as nostalgic as this song, and it isn’t for the 1996 that it was released in. It brings me back to my first year at uni, where I listened to it obsessively in the summer. I was having the time of my life like the protagonist of the song. And watching a lot of the Simpsons.
