We were lucky enough to see Phoenix play last night at The Hordern. At the risk of sounding like a teenager, I have to say that they were FRICKEN AWWWWESOMMME!! Music sounds so much better live and loud and when the stage it’s coming from is ablaze with flashing coloured lights. I’m glad they didn’t disappoint. We heard old stuff as well as the new stuff and even a cover of Air’s Playground Love. My favourite bit would have been their live rendition of If I Ever Feel Better and the round they did. A*MAZING! (ha! anyone remember that kid’s show on after school in the arvos?). We all got to hear our songs, even Thien who was hanging out to hear Funky Squaredance!
One thing that caught me by surprise was how big they actually are. I wasn’t expecting such a ‘huge’ show and the overabundance of teeny boppers but then what could I really expect? Everything is mainstream these days and suppose it all makes sense considering how catchy their music is. One thing that really pissed Rob and I off though, was hearing one teenage twat whine that she “only like[d] shit [she] c[ould] dance to” Well, Sweetheart, maybe you should stick to buying CD singles instead of coming to the whole fucking concert. Or maybe I should suggest, rather, that she stick to downloading singles off iTunes. Bitch, have some respect! Geez.
We tried the mosh during the opening act (Miami Horror) but I think my stature (or lack thereof) and misanthropy got in the way of my enjoyment of it. I got pretty narky, having people constantly push in front of me and I wasn’t sure if it was because they thought I was some sort of easy target or if they were just cunty McCunts in general. It was all good once we headed to the stands for Phoenix though (thank you Paul’s neck for playing up and presenting me with the opportunity to extract myself from the shovefest that was the mosh!), but I will always be torn by the trade off between proximity (and the chance to bust out) and actually being able to SEE the performance. What does a girl of 153cm and 45kg do in these situations?
All in all, I had an excellent time and any voice I had left from being sick was definitely gone by the end of the night. But of course, it was worth it! I don’t have any photos but here’s a video from YouTube that someone took that night.
So, I haven’t posted anything in a while. This is just a quick post to let anyone who cares know that I am still alive! I have much to report on including our time out at the Open Air Cinema, camping photos from last year, Big Day Out pics and more recently, our trip to North Island, New Zealand! Holy crap, that’s loads.
I’m currently overwhelmed with going apeshit on the job applications (yes, it is time I get off my arse, yes, I’ve only started today) and I’ve managed to send out 10 of them today. Woo hoo. Let’s hope I get some nibbles because graduate applications – FML. I feel I may as well be back at uni writing essays again because of the stupid responses I actually have to sit down and think about – and I haven’t even gotten through to any interviews yet! My nails have been naked since last night and it’s 10pm now. There is still no polish on my nails! That is when you can tell that I have been one busy bee. Bzzzzz!
On a brighter note, I am looking hella forward to seeing PHOENIX next week! FUCK YEAH! And guess who got tickets to see Vampire Weekend in May? Ah huh, you guessed it! I’m tho exthoited!
Good music is good. I love stumbling upon nuggets of gold that are good songs and awesome artists. Music has always been one of the few things I get excited about but it’s a little disappointing when I don’t have anyone to share it with ): I haven’t been as into it over the last few years but am getting back into it now that I have so much free time studying for my exams.
The Teenagers – Homecoming
Last week I flew to San Diego to see my aunt
On day one I met her hot step daughter.
She’s a cheerleader, she’s a virgin and she’s really tanned.
As she stepped out of her massive car, I could only notice she was more than fuckable.
I think she was coming back of her game or something.
Because she was holding those silly pom poms.
On day two, I fucked her and it was wild. She’s such a slut.
I fucked my American cunt.
I loved my English romance.
I fucked my American cousin.
I loved my English romance.
It was dirty, a dream came true just like I like it she’s got nice tits.
It was perfect, a dream came true just like a song by Blink-182
Okay, listen girls, I met the hottest guy ever.
Basically as I was stepping out of my SUV, I came face to face with my step cousin or whatever.
Who cares. Anyway he was wearing skinny jeans, had funky hair and the cutest British accent ever.
Straight away, I could tell he was rocker from his sexy attitude and the way he looked to me.
Mmm he is totally awesome.
Oh my god I think I’m in love.

And don’t forget to send me a friend request.
As if!

About Me
Jess. 22. F. Sydney, Australia.
Hello, you have stumbled upon my personal blog. I'm a Jack of all trades kind of girl whose interests include, but are not limited to: nail polish; food (eating it); mountain biking; driving (my car); and (listening to) music. If there is any money left over after all that, I am, to a certain degree, interested in fashion.
Time is money and money is time. While I seem to have more time than I do money, I still don't find myself doing all of these things at one time because I don't have the money.
