So. Yesterday I took a day off to join the `Øya-Festival <http://www.oyafestivalen.com/>`__. The tickets were a kind of expensive  if you're just wanna see one or two acts a day, but I would have totally gone on Wednesday to :ref:`Low <2011-low_time_is_a_diamond>` - if I would have know early enough for the tickets not being sold out. Well, you can't have everything. But `Aphex Twin <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphex_twin>`__ was on my list for a longer time and `afaik <http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=afaik>`__ he's not playing that often. Therefore I took the chance.

But since the day-pass includes all the acts  that day I had to see some others as well, of course. On that opportunity I found `White Denim <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Denim>`__ and `Fleet Foxes <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleet_Foxes>`__ on which I'll have a close look as well.

I was basically expecting one or two songs I knew, but what we got was a 90 min. live playing with video and light-performance. Took a moment to get used to it and adopt the expectations to it, but at the end it was OK. Though I have to admit that 90 min Aphex Twin is enough for me for a while...
