April 21st - April 22nd
April 21st
Ahhhh. There is nothing better than jumping on a train and just going it on your own through the big city. We gandered through London Courts and that was heaps of awesomeness because I hope that one day I am walking through the REAL London. :D Oh, and lucky for us I happen to know Dad's friends - we dropped our bags off at Marian's, who's a jeweller so we owe him! :P
We just went through a fuck load of shops and I ended up buying Emma Arcade Fire's 'Neon Bible' on vinyl for a shiny $35.00. Early birthday present for my dear Em-Em! Then I went to the ABC Shop and got meself a nice Chaser poster ($9.95) which shall sit laminated on my desk within the week. So, whoo!
Now, Court is the shit. Yes, she is. And her house, is the shit. I owe that awesome Muser quite a lot. First of all the free accomodation and then the driving us to the show and the driving around Perth trying to find Foos. Alas, we failed at that but it was worth it just hanging out and wandering the outsides of Burswood. I like Burswood. *giggle* Oh, AND I'm getting all, "Presets11!1!!one!!1!!!1!" so thanks a lot. *cough*
Can I just enter the: HOLY FUCK. HAARP. *HYPER-FUCKING-VENTILATES* It was a day about Foos, but I desperately needed a Muser to watch this with and ugh. Dom. UGH. I will have a way better recount of the DVD when I finish it for good, sorry guys! But the strike is over, HAHA! I kept squealing, twitching and the tears wouldn't stop during Invincible - it's the anticipation of knowing that the heart warming riff is coming. Magic.
Wanna hear about the gig? DAVE GROHL IS THE FUCKING SHIT. Crazy guy! Running to and fro along the stage. Going down the walkway. Be so fucking rock god it's not funny. What can I say about the entire strong, steady rock vibe you get from Foos? Nothing, you should already know. I mean, I feel unfortunate to say that NO band can fill the live experience void for me like Muse; once you Muse, you don't stop till either you or they are dead. Them and Radiohead if they ever come. Back to the main act, ey, though? We moved our seats and got a cooler view with Court but now I wish I stayed in the original seats. That is, till the end of the encore, we got better ones, MWHAHA. Thanks again, Court. ;)
Setliiiiiist. Updated!
#1 - Let It Die
#2 - The Pretender
#3 - Times Like These
#4 - Breakout
I believe this is where a rather long drum solo came out of Mr. Hawkins. Fuck, it was sa-weeeeet!
#5 - Learn To Fly (David, I thought you hated that song. :\)
#6 - Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make-Up Is Running)
#7 - This Is A Call
#8 - Stacked Actors
Above included a long ass bluesy jam between, excellent stuff!
#9 - Skin & Bones
#10 - Wattershed (like, whoa. Ollllld song.) Or apparently it was Marigold according to the paper, but I do believe the setlist said Wattershed.
#11 - My Hero (acoustic)
Between here and the next song, a fuckload of banter.
#12 - Cold Day In The Sun
Then we got a triangle solo from Drew. WHOO!!
#13 - But, Honestly
#14 - Ballad Of The Beaconsfield Miners\
With Kaki King and may I say, it was superb. "Well, I can be fucking awesome too, Kaki King." :D
#15 - Everlong
OH MY GOD. IT WAS ACOUSTIC. Yes, it brought tears to my eyes. Ugh.
#16 - Monkey Wrench
#17 - All My Life
Leaving stage we were left with a night vision camera projected on the screens showing us the setlist. Dave appears, drinking beer. Pan to Taylor with what appeared to be drumsticks up his nose. Scan setlist. Back to Taylor and Dave, no audio, but telling us that they're done for the night. Wander down setlist. David is offering us one more song. Nah. He offers two. More boo-ing. Three, a wide grin. Long cheers. Night vision disappears, David is onstage, holding a beer cup. "You want me to drink all of this right now?"
#18 - Big Me
Duet with Jessie, the string player. "Can I get a 'holy shit' for Jessie?!" And on acoustic.
#19 - Long Road To Ruin
#20 - Best Of You
Muse's Knights Of Cydonia is some kind of closer, but Best Of You (not that it take's the cake) is awfully epic as well. The breakdown of "oh's" before the last chorus was sung by everybody and it is so magical to hear that. Be part of it, too. He stands on the catwalk/walkway and points to sky, beckoning all to join. So as the Foos bid goodbye, we ran to the buses/carpark. Time to go hunting.
Oh, skipping down a carpark with another Muser and just having a laugh is the absolute best experience. Board meet-ups are so awesome - you know the people, but you've never seen them in flesh and although you say you do some of these actions with them, doing it in reality beats doing in the asteriks. It's amazing how I was just sleeping over someone's house I'd only met like, twice in real-life in my year of knowing her. Court = \m/
Unfortunately after our waiting about the Ruby Room at Burswood, believing them to be there but not, we drove around and around and around and eventually, by my decision, gave up. Taking Court's friend home she took us down to a seaside reserve (a fun drive to!) and we wrote Muse in the full moonlight. That was a blissful place. So to bed, crushed by not meeting teh Grohl but satisfied from the incredible rock show we'd been given.
April 22nd
Waking up in Mosman Park is bliss. There is a lovely view of the river/sea/water! :D and it's so peaceful out there. I would of loved to of woken up in Court's room - UGH. The walls are plastered in memories of her trips to London and New York, as well as her own photography. Friends pwn - Musers to be precise. After moping about and chatting Muse for an hour or so, we bid our goodbyes as she dropped us off at the train station. I'll be seeing her next Saturday for a while, moohaha. Can't get away from her now! :D
Kim-Kim and I ventured back to Marian's for our bag dropoff, thank-you kind sir, once again. :D Getting some Chinese for lunch, hard to find a seat at the Carillon Food Court - ugh. And it's been renovated if you didn't know. Interesting fact! After lunch I bought my lovely, shiny 12" Shaun of the Dead talking action figure, valued at $59.95. *giggle* Fandom of the Pegg. \m/ Then we saw Superhero Movie which was gobshite, but we only went to see it for Drake Bell. Oh we love thee, so leave us alone, it's called being a fan. After that it was waste a bit more time and head on home. So Tuesday wasn't as fun, eh?
Okay, my ass is getting real numb from sitting on this bloody chair and giving you lot a recount of last night's events and stuff so I'm just going to go and get on with life now. :D
Craaaaaaap, I have train lag.
