We Have a-ha!

[przed]

I just got an e-mail that tickets for a third a-ha concert on May 8 have gone on sale. And I've got one! (It's increasingly looking like the promised Canadian dates aren't going to materialize. And hey, if I've got a job in the fall, I still might go see them in London, which was my original fallback plan

Heh.

Hadn't see the Reel Big Fish one. Who knew Take on Me would make a credible ska song. *g*

I was pleasantly surprised myself. *g*

I grew up in South London in an area with a large Jamaican population and have had a life long love of reggae and ska as a result.

The Sweetie is a huge old school ska and reggae fan. He's educated me in how awesome they are. And he gets Ros singing along to songs from The Harder They Come with him. *g*

Oh, wow. I didn't even know they were still around! (Yes, I fail as a music fan. Once upon a time I would have been shocked by that.) It would be very cool to see them in London. (Well, okay, I think everything is better in London.) Clearly, this is a Sign that you will have a job in the fall!

Clearly you have not been paying attention to the songs I've vidded. *g*

But you're forgiven. a-ha are still selling out stadiums in Europe and South America, but they have virtually no presence in North America. And ya know, as awesome as Take On Me is, it's the last ten years of their career I like best.

Here, have a live version of one of my fave songs:

Yay for A-Ha! But only one ticket? Don isn't interested?

If I'm still bereft of job, I'll be going myself and on the cheap. And if I do have a job, we're going to make a family vacation of it, but one of us will have to stay with Ros at the hotel. And it won't be me. *g*
