Supersonic 2008 – Collective Memory

2008 July 12

CiB’s frequent flyers may know that 2007’s Supersonic collective memory was a thing of rare beauty, pulling together all sorts of mentions of the festival from across the interwires.  This is an attempt at replicating that for Supersonic 2008.

[Update, 29 July 2008]  I’ve noticed very little new stuff recently so I’m going to stop actively searching and have unsubscribed from my automated updates.  However, if you produce/come across any writings/photos/videos/whatever about this year’s festival then please mention them in the comments and I’ll update this post.

On with the good stuff then…

Capsule/Supersonic themselves

Here’s the Supersonic website itself.  If you had a good time at the festival you can say thanks to the Capsule ladies, Lisa & Jenny, on this Capsule blog post.  Here’s the festival catalogue, digitised.

Previews

Blogs

Other websites/mags

Fora

Social networks

Photos

Video

If you’re interested about the process of pulling together all this info as quickly/easily as possible then I’ll be writing about it at chrisunitt.co.uk shortly.  By shortly I probably mean ‘in a month or two’.

Remember if you spot something Supersonic 08-related on the internet (or just want to say what you thought of the festival) then please use the comments below to let me know.

    goodness, now people are actually going to read what i’ve thought also, any birmingham slagging off is superficial; it’s nice really and i come from scunthorpe so i can’t really say anything…

    supersonic was incredible. same time next year i reckonsss

    I wrote a review on my blog, it may not be up to the same standard as some of those listed here, but hey, I had fun. Will be back next year I’m sure.

    A truely overwhelming response to the festival and shows just how many people ACTUALLY travel to Supersonic from around the country and further a field and what a positive impact it has on them.

    I’ve found another photographer

    Yo,

    Here’s the review I wrote for Itchy Birmingham, the plebs at head office have cut it to shreds and injected a fair bit of cheese but there you go.
