sparklehorse
last night i went to see one of my favourite bands in the leeds cockpit - sparklehorse. the gig was made better for me by the fact that i managed to get a copy of the setlist afterwards and that mrs linkous (sparklehorse's wife) got him to autograph my copy of his album.
as is the case with most gigs i go to i struggled taking pictures as without a flash everything is too blury and with a flash the stage it too far away (plus it's kind of distracting). this was the first gig that i have been to with my new camera which shoots video and audio. so i took the opportunity to film some songs. this shot comes from using the highest settings (640 x 480) however i decided to shoot most of it with the lower quality so i could fit more onto my memory card. the audio quality is far from perfect but it's still cool to go home and rewatch (and relisten) most of the set.
