spiderpigApparently I've gotten an overall of 50 for my Econs midyear. That's a D. OMGGGG. I DIDN'T FAIL. Thank all the omnipresent Gods in the world. Hey, maybe I'll actually y'know, not fail Econs for my A Levels! It's a darn relief that I'm not a total wuss in the area of academics.
Anyway, Modest Mouse's This Devil's Workday is one of my favourite songs and you should all go give it a listen! I always welcome requests for me to send it to you, if you don't have it. Well, actually I just love the bass line for the song and the warbling of the trumpets at the end. It's justifiably very groovy in a back-alley sort of way - my kind of music.
Surprisingly my iffy 1.3 megapixel Nokia 6680 had quite a good time recording video and sound clips of the majorly kick ass awesome concert last night. I'll be uploading the rather low resolution photos and videos for you guys to take a look at. Though nothing on earth beats standing up, surrounded by a curiously large amount of Caucasians and their families, singing along to Yellow, Trouble and all their popular and not-so-well-known hits. It's the electricity in the air that can make you forget about the boredom you had while waiting a 2 full hours for them to take the stage and just screaming your lungs out when Chris Martin jumps right out.
Wish I was in the 'mosh pit'.
I can't remember the exact order of songs they played - my gold-fish memory is like that - but I fell in love with Coldplay all over again when they performed Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire and another song that had something to do with the Backstreet Boys (I forgot the title :D() ) with a harmonica. You've got to respect a band who respects Cash. There was a sort of intimacy about that transitional performance, the yellowed spotlight just on them and you see the sprinkling of handphones and light-sticks waving in the air. It makes me happy because I know that music still has that power to bring people together, even if you don't know the words, even if you don't know the song or the musicians - it's all just music. Cliched, and possibly even corny, but you know they all say a cliche is a cliche because it's true.
When they released all the yellow balloon and Chris Martin began jumping around and bursting them, showering the audience and himself with gold confetti, I don't know why but I just felt that it really represented the moment. Of balloons in the air and golden confetti.
Being there with Sim was absolutely fantastic. It's with friends like these that you can sing along and not get embarrassed. YEN YOU SHOULD HAVE COME, then it'll be even more awesome!!!
And they did play 'Fix You'. It wouldn't have been a Coldplay concert otherwise. They left the stage, and we stood there clapping and screaming for them to come back - and they did. Haha, like Jesus resurrected. But their finale was breathtaking. I don't regret paying $120 at all for this.
Oh and CURRY FAVOUR gave me a foodgasm! I need to bring all of you foodies there immediately. :O~~

I've been trying to edit what Madison gave me, along with what I wrote - without compromising any of our artistic integrity. It's been hard, folks. She's done a great job and I'd like to keep hers in its entirety - like two differing perspectives, one of a J2s and the other of a J1. But y'know all these illiterate freaks, they don't really care.
