8:58 am - o/~come out to meet you tell you i'm sorry~
|
went n saw mr paltrow and his band in sandy eggo last thurs. GAPIT :)
didnt expect politik or scientist. prolly coz i was expecting a clone of the brixton academy setlist and the first few songs of the sd set was extremely similar.
think general feeling i got in the end is htat they're trying for a middle ground of a rock arena concert a la U2 and the immediacy feeling of a flaming lips/radiohead show. LOL. not a bad thing/experience but MOR all the way LOL.
setlist:
Life In Technicolor
Violet Hill
Clocks
In My Place
Yellow
Glass Of Water
Cemeteries Of London
42
Fix You
Strawberry Swing
God Put A Smile Upon Your Face (techno version)
Talk (techno version)
The Hardest Part (Chris piano)
Postcards From Far Away (piano instrumental)
Viva La Vida
Lost!
Green Eyes (acoustic)
Sitting on the Dock of the Bay / Death Will Never Conquer (Acoustic, sung by Will)
Billie Jean
Viva La Vida (remix interlude)
------
Politik
Lovers In Japan
Death And All His Friends
-------
The Scientist
Life in Technicolor ii
The Escapist (outro)

charging it right now and hopefully nothing will be wrong w/it. *crosses fingers*
coz i would really like to use it in abt 2 weeks or less to CCI. 10.5h of battery mmmmhmmmm goodness.
it is shiny shiny black (i am still denied megaera LOL. TWICE now! first it was colour of camry and now the netbook). the shiny black is gonna be a fingerprint magnet, i can jsut *SEE* it. hopefully my inner hannelore will NOT start obsessing abt shiny-ness.
and now to figure out yet another black themed FSS ballance fatima to name the netbook after.
cheers

11:41 pm - on babyseals
|
i have nothing much left to say
i am learning the subtle art of restraint with politeness
thats all
and i mean babyseals in a metaphorical way. and it is in no way connected with real animals. for reals. except the emotional response one usually gets about babyseals. i guess.
there hopefully PETA wont come after me.
meanwhile
i put on WKAP
then DCfC's plans.
and it brought me down from hopping mad to resigned-ness.. LOL
i also realised the chorus of 'marching bands of Manhattan' is damn catchy
o/~sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
just like a faucet that leaks there is comfort in the sound
and while you debate if its half empty or half full
it slowly rises and your love is gonna drown....

12:46 pm - my ears saved by ghetto last minute ear plugs made from paper napkins
|
LOL
yeah. fri nite was mogwai.
ear melting experience. tho nothing quite like the 15min feedback at MBV@coachella LOL
hence the subject line. opening band was dead meadows-> eh. shrug.
sat(yesterday) nite was NIN|JA
*snicker* that name always cracks me up.
the show as usual was awesome. the energy, the intensity was perfect. a tad disappointing set list from NIN for me. things that surprised me was he sang fragile and i am afraid of americans. i wouldve liked to hear also 'something i can never have/perfect drug/everyday is exactly the same'. ah well.shrug. theres one more chance next friday LOL
amazingly there wasnt 'closer' but there were the standards of hurt/head like a hole/terrible lie (where we had a tech/sound problem and trent got reallly pissed)/march of pigs/wish... and more stuff. i can prolly find a setlist somewhere on the interwebs later. LOL
but it was a really too short a set. sigh.
JA was good. i forgotten how good that band is LOL. last song was 'jane says' ahhh~
and oh yeah, i also forgot how small the GAPIT area at cricket amphitheatre was cf the whole place. it was nice to be up pretty close. LOL
ps: i was amused to read local news review about the NIN|JA concert. dood was like all kinda whiny abt NIN had no big light show this time. wtf man, that was already old news (no big light show). LOL. but i think reviewer is more JA fan LOL. i will admit JA put on a really good show. plus perry ferrell isnt as annoying in JA vs the other times i've seen him live solo/satellite party. he was also kinda fun when he was dj peretz too. LOL

11:33 am - hmmm
|
so i watched quite few more youtube videos on mylene's new concert tour which started in nice last night? or smthg.
i agree with zaff that its one of the best costumes for her shows so far. i think they look more structured/coherent. shrug. her hair and makeup looked more subdued than in the past. maybe mylene is accepting that time is an enemy she cannot defeat. *gasp*
the tech/stage design for this one seems to be the accumulation of the various tech stuff/design ideas shes used over the last few tours, e.g. the LED screens as stage doors,the stairs, the animatronix statues, the insect/scarab? 'chair'. the exit end was a nice echo to the avant concerts (but down -into hell perhaps?- instead of up-acension LOL), the intro/entry was a lot simpler but the use of LED screens was a nice touch.
alain escalle's fascination with death seems to dovetail with mylene's obessesions quite nicely. sometimes it feels like we are entering into a 'bodies' exhibition ..but also with LED screens/strobe lights/lasers/dancers and a band. LOL
personally, i still think NIN lights in the sky shows had a more intuitive and maybe more immersive use of LED screens in a show than what i saw for mylene. granted for the latter, its not a lot and it looks like i wont be able to go for the brussels show. but. shrug.
the setlist (and mylene usually doesnt vary) is a tad disappointing. outta the whole list posted, i wouldve liked to hear je te rends/a quoi je sers/nous souviendrons nous outta the older albums, and from the new album i'm only really interested in c'est dans l'air.
so yeah i think i am not being a very good fan in saying i wont mind going to see her for this one, but not like feeling any compulsion at all. ah well. i think maybe the really good memories of being GAPIT for the avant series of concerts in jan 2006 just pwns the whole stadium tour shows that will be put on for this series. but supposedly theres 2? stage designs one for hte stadiums and one for hte 'smaller' venues.
in second thoughts, i remember the stadium setup on the ticket sales page. and it seems like theres a walkway into the GAPIT. so i figure there's probably gonna more walking/interacting with the GAPIT doods and also prolly pyro/fireworks when towards the end she sings si j'avais au moins before she exits. i cant see mylene completely changing the setup as its a traveling show
but am pretty sure there will be more youtubes videos, and rumours of a blu-ray HD dvd of the concert tour abound. la la la~.
PS: i just realised i just saw the drummer abrahim? (i forgot his last name) like not more than 2 weeks ago, going at it with macca's band. tee hee. that was a good memory, fireworks and all. *nods*
PS2: listening to a bad audio rip of the Nice show, i am wondering if there's any auto-tune used LOL, coz dang! mylene misses quite a few notes....LOL
current mood:  pensive
