Woooo! I'll see you there. I didn't think I'd be able to make it over to NZ but my father's gone and stunned me and will probably pay for me to come.

Yee-harr!! *jumping hug* That's so awesome, Andre...what are parents for eh?!

Aw man, four more months! This is just so exciting...doesn't quite feel real yet that I am actually going to be in the same room (if you can call it that...:P) as the guys I've adored since I was 15! Ahhh...music will come and go out of my life, but U2 were my first love. And you never forget your first real love. :P

Aw, by the way, I finally checked out Pop. Me likey.

I'm really surprised he did it, as he isn't normally prone to willingly paying to fly me to New Zealand. I suspect it's at least in part to do with the fact I ordered the tickets, and as they're fanclub ones, I need to be there with ID to collect them. Or maybe he's just feeling generous. Either way, I'm delighted and grateful.

You know, it's funny, it doesn't feel four months away to me. It feels like a semester to me, and given how fast last semester shot by, I suspect that before I know it, I'll be on the plane to NZ. Why can't they build a bridge already - I hate flying!

Pop's an album that I really feel is hit-and-miss. Half of it is absolutely exceptional, especially Gone, the song that elevated me beyond casual fan status in the first place. I also very much like material such as Mofo, Last Night On Earth, and Wake Up Dead Man. But other parts of the album just contain total clunkers - Discotheque, Miami, Playboy Mansion. Thankfully Discotheque and Miami were excellent live, especially Discotheque.

We fully need our own "Chunnel" between Australia and NZ. Cos dude how much freaking cooler would that be? I'm not a great flyer either- I tend to have a bit of trouble with my ears on planes, even on really short flights.

Speaking of which, I fully have to post my dream about seeing U2 play on a plane. *shakes head* Yup, that's Erin's whack imagination for ya...:P

As for Pop...I'm with you, Gone is absolutely stunning. Please and Wake Up Dead Man...spine-tingling stuff. Those lyrics, I tell ya! Then you've got Do You Feel Loved which is all raw and raspy, and slightly sexy on the side. And If God Will Send His Angels, where the band proves once again they are the masters of the rock ballad. And If You Wear That Velvet Dress, which is...dark, and voyeuristic, and vulnerable, and really quite scrummy. And I do love me some Staring at the Sun...even though I know you don't like it. :P ( ... )
