Himself and I went to see Rancid on Friday night, it was reeeeeeeeeeally good. It's the first gig we've seen together since Toy Dolls in Sept 07 which is ridiculous. RIDICULOUS. I mean we both go to shitloads of gigs but just never together? But it was amazing. He's all uber-cynical about them these days and he did enjoy it but thought they played too much off ...And Out Come The Wolves, and he thinks they look old and tired and blah blah blah and it's like, I remember your ultimate!fanboying over them so don't get cynical with me. He upset me a bit actually, cos I have their lyric tattooed on me now you know so it's like, can't even be cynical over Rancid. But then he sang every word along with them and said Matt was still a great bass player on a par with Flea (he is) and so it's like well shut up, you.
That's a long paragraph. Anyway Sam asked for some recs so all the way through I was thinking, ooh, I'll include THIS and I'll write about THAT and etc etc, and I was going to do it yesterday with the pictures I took of them, cos we were fairly close to the front and we could even see THE DRUMMER and I LIKE him now! Last time we saw them he was just ~The New Kid~ who wasn't Brett and we couldn't see him anyway cos we were at Leeds Refectory which is a shite venue anyway and you can never see the bloody drummer (SSV was invisible, woe), but now he's all settled in and he FLAILS when he drums in a very Bob-esque kind of way. Which is funny really, since he's The Used's old drummer!
Also Lars didn't look like a twat, Tim TALKED and Matt is like. Awesome. And I got good photos! So I was yaying!
And then I lost my bastard camera....
At first I thought someone took it out of my pocket at the gig, see. I didn't take my bag cos I wasn't driving so I didn't have shit to store, and I wanted to move around, so I had my phone in one pocket and my camera in the other, and I thought, when I got home and couldn't find it, that someone had pulled it out of my pocket. But then I remembered I took a photo outside, of it saying 'RANCID' in big letters. We stopped for food on the way home and I think it must've fallen out of the car then and neither of us noticed. We drove back and the owner had a conversation about Rancid with us (he looked like an old punk, haha) but we couldn't find it. So I'm bummed :( Fortunately the only photos I lost were the Rancid ones, but it still sucks cos I can't afford a new one. Plus, you know. Raaaancid. I wanted those photos :(
Anyway, rec post still forthcoming and you can all blame Sam when I post a ridiculously post about them :D
Also, you guys should know that Empires and Madonna mix entirely too well.
