When mind cannot think of anything else (but one thing) and the mood for writing something interesting simply doesn’t exist, I decide to post a music video. Such a shame.

Such a shame to believe in escape
‘A life on every face’
And that’s a change
Till I’m finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don’t know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It’s a shameSuch a shame
Number me with rage
It’s a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
It’s a shame

The dice decide my fate
And that’s a shame
In these trembling hands my faith
Tells me to react, ‘I don’t care’
Maybe it’s unkind that I should change
A feeling that we share
It’s a shame

Such a shame
Number me with rage
It’s a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
Such a shame

Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don’t know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It’s a shame

Such a shame
Number me with rage
It’s a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
It’s a shame
Such a shame
Write it across my name
It’s a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change

Such a shame

It’s nice to spend a long weekend with people you love and care for. It’s not nice…it’s great! Had a great time with Olga (my sis) and Eleni (her best friend and a good friend of mine too). Looking forward to being your host in London again!

Just a few photos (and actually almost all the photos) we shot together these last three days …and time for some Photoshop play

A beautiful night at Islington Academy in Angel, London watching Delerium on stage… and taking advantage of my brand new camera in difficult shooting conditions! The canadian “band” was great and especially the singer with her theatrical performance and the strong voice. Nice touch, the video projection of images and video related to the (mainly) ambient songs. And not to forget, Christos and Christos… whose company I really enjoy lately.

In general, a nice gig that cannot be compared though to the last one I went (back in October if I remember correct, lol). Then it was LCD Soundsystem, an unknown to me group by that time. Of course, I always enjoy gigs and since I haven’t been to many in the past years, it’s among my first priorities from now and on.

So have a small taste of Delerium live by looking at the following photos. I’ll let you choose on your own the soundtrack…

the opening supporting group… or should I say solo artist!

when the supporting solo is turning to a group! (…nice track by the way)

and still “supporting” with male vocals this time

the intermediate (really good) dj set before Delerium come on stage

and the essential (shitty) artistic photo! hehe

Delerium have just started playing

Delerium’s singer; a voice not as ethereal as Sarah’s McLahan or Leigh’s Nash but still great!

emotional performance combined with inspiring video projection

(almost) the whole group on stage…

…and here’s the soul behind Delerium; Bill Leeb

And a memo photo to remember this night out (hope you don’t mind Christos on the right!)…

P.S. Did I mention how impressed I’m with my new camera? Believe me, it’s hard to get these photos with an inexpensive compact digital camera… Hail Ricoh!

My holidays in Greece are history and I’m back in London since last night. With all my personal belongings this time! (almost all… my new favourite smart jacket is still somewhere in an empty house in central Greece). Undoubtedly, I had a great time in all the places I visited. My only concern is the fact that due to practical difficulties I didn’t meet many of the friends I really wanted to see this time (especially Anda and Kostas… if you read these lines). The new thing in these holidays has a name: Sarah. My friend, course-mate and iColleague who came to visit me in Athens for the last 5 days of my stay there. Showing mainly Athens to a foreigner through the perspective of an Athenian was something I was looking forward to since the moment that Sarah suggested coming to Greece back in February. The whole process turned out to have much more fun than I’d have expected. Along with Sarah, I also had a great time, especially cause I spent many hours close to the beautiful west coastline of Attika. And believe me, what I really miss since I moved to London is not the Greeks or the food, but some wine the sea and the sun. A daily trip to Hydra was also the highlight of Sarah’s visit to my home country. And along with that a sunburn (which I hope it turns to a discrete tan in the next days). Probably Sarah should comment here with her impressions from her journey… but from what I know two things made her good impression; the men and the food… and the order is probably not random cause as she is a vegetarian she didn’t have the chance to eat many of the infamous dishes of the greek cuisine.

I could write many many things as always about the last 10 days but as is usually the case I won’t do it. lol. I’ll just put here a few of the photos I shot with my new present (thanks a lot). Enjoy…

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Nice things are soon to follow. And returning home feels always so pleasant even after leaving back all these beautiful places. First day at work tomorrow! Hooray…
