LET'S TRY THIS SCHEIßE

SO music right? What great things you can hear with your ears. So melodic and so influential.
I dont really know what i'm talking about to honest.
 Fuck this I wanna go to bed.
But I wanna write something ok? I wanna write something while intoxicated and read it in the morning and be like "what the fuck is wrong with me just ugh fuck off you're wasting your time."
dont' read this yo're probably wasting your time. And fuck it my laptop doesn't have autocorrect I'm tired of clicking the delete button
My friend told me today that deep fried butter on a stick exist. like who eat that kind of things? Apparently peaopl do, a freakin butter on stick. But no, it's deep fried.

I finished catching up on Supernatural and South Park and House of Cards now I'm just bassicaly done and I don't want to be done because that means I now have to continue on studying which is why I'm in Australia in the first place. I don't like saying "I" a lot let's change the subject into something more objective.

The amygdala, yeah that little thing inside your brain, is said to be Almond-shaped. I don't get it why is it almond-shaped do we all have almond shaped amygdala? why is it almond shaped? Why did I capitalised Almond? But the amygdala is great it's basically a little thing, like tiny tiny part and it control of our emotions and memory. Like, both memory and emotions which is pretty badass. Particular fear, apparently. According to some studies that the left and right amygdala in both parts of your brain control either your pleasant memory/feelings and unpleasant ones. It's like, one side of your brain is evil. Not evil, evil is a pretty strong word. but we're all pretty evil anyway aren't we?

you know what fuck this im going to bed. peace.

FW: FOALS WEEKEND

#1 28/09/2013

Hawaiian shirts. Denim shorts. Unnecessary hats? Floral shirts. Excited facial. Great hair.

I followed a group of people that matched the categories above, and found myself in front of Enmore Theatre after somewhat being lost in Newtown. This method have helped me several times in finding concert venues when I'm lost, like that time in Singapore when I got lost in Fort Canning Park on my way to see Friendly Fires.

I met up with Vivien and her cutesy car, and spent nearly thirty minutes to find parking. But once parking was sorted, and we weren't too keen too see Alpine, we got gelato instead. But let's skip all those parts.

Not being big fans of Alpine, Vivien and I started the night with a few drinks; aka Jack in a can. Then close to 9.20 the band started. Pretty sure everyone in the crowd was on the verge of having an epileptic seizure from the strobe lights, but since we were standing next to the lighting desk I was mesmerised by the tech guy. Like, how much does he get pay? Does he get free drinks like the band? How long did it take you to record all of those lights? What does that button do? The lights were amazing, by the way. Apart from the strobe lights, I didn't particularly enjoy but the rest of the night it was amazing. Real 'in your face' type of lights.

Also I apologised to her once and I'll do it again, I'm sorry I had to go pee during Total Life Forever Vivien. It was those Jack in them cans.
The setlist for the night?

Prelude
Total Life Forever
Blue Blood
My Number
Providence
Milk & Black Spiders
Spanish Sahara
Red Socks Pugie
Late Night
Inhaler 

Encore
FUCKING HUMMER MAN
Two Steps, Twice.

I have to be honest, I don't think I'm as obsessive or fanatic with Foals as I was before. I think it's part of me growing up. So I didn't know they played Hummer the two nights before in Melbourne. I didn't know they have been playing it quite a while in their tour. And it literally just, SWAYED ME AWAY OFF MY FEET (in a realistic way meaning that, I jumped in excitement). Also the fact that I was half-ranting to Vivien before the show how I wished they would play Hummer but I knew they won't because it's been too long and they probably forgot how to play it but THEY DID OK? THEY DID. 

So when they started playing that, I simultaneously spilled this woman's drink all over her and stomped her feet. I apologised duh but, that didn't stop her and her friends to give me bitchy death glares. Well fuck you woman, I'm not sorry anymore.

Then during Two Steps, Twice Yannis went to our side of the crowd and literally jumped in front of us. He was, right there. The fangirl in me came back for a split second and pretty sure all I did was screamed because we all know what's coming next. He's going to make his way upstairs to the balcony and jumped. So once he was on the balcony, it seemed he had some doubts. He took his time to find a jumping point and after a while, he gave his guitar to someone, and he jumped. He fucking jumped. And it was just 10/10. When he came back on stage, he was shoeless, shirtless but not guitar-less.

#2 29/09/2013

I heard this show hadn't sold out, so by default I'm assuming the fans in the crowd won't be as wild or dedicated as the ones in the first night. 

Maybe it was the area we stood, maybe it was the people, but I had more fun in the second show. Safe to say I don't think I've ever went this 'full-on' in a gig before. Here are the setlist:

Prelude
Total Life Forever
Olympic Airways
My Number
Blue Blood
Providence
Milk & Black Spiders
Spanish Sahara
Red Socks Pugie
Late Night
Electric Bloom 

Encore
Inhaler
Two Steps, Twice.

No Hummer but I was happy about it because it seems like it was 'exclusively' for the first Sydney show. But Electric Bloom though, it just made me miss listening to Antidotes. And after listening to their old stuff again I've always wondered what it was like to hear XXXXX live instead of their new Prelude.

I think the fact that more people around us at that night danced, made it more fun. It wasn't as awkward as it was the day before. Like the majority of the people around us were dancing, and we were all tired. Resting for merely 5 seconds before the next song started and we all started jumping around again. 

Sadly, during Two Steps, Twice when Yannis once again tried to jumped from the balcony, the security guards wouldn't let him. It was quite funny to see it actually. Very comic, like one of those things you see in cartoons. Like literally he was about to jump, the security guard who was way bigger than him strongly grabbed his arms and shook his head. Yannis smiled, and tried to negotiate but the security guard was firm. Knowing he didn't have any luck Yannis disappeared in the crowd, soon after so did the security guards. Seconds later Yannis reappeared after hoping that he lost the guards in the crowd, he quickly made his way to jump from the balcony but his plan was foiled by the same security guard who took him by his shoulders and literally pulled him back. Pretty sure everyone was smiling and laughing, including the band members and crews. The security guards didn't seem amused though.

Notable crowd members?

Well there was a guy in the wheelchair right in the corner in the front, one of the security guards gave him Jack's drumstick at the end. It was really cool. And then there was this girl after the show we met who looked confused. Turns out she had thrown her bra to the stage during the show, now she wants it back. It was quite funny, especially when she had to ask a security guard and a couple of roadies if they've seen it. They were all laughing too, but at the end she got her grey bra back. 

Also at the end of the gig I saw these two girls (they wouldn't be more than 18 or 19 to be honest) sneakily making their way backstage. Like it was really sneaky, you can tell it wasn't their first time. But at the end they failed, so maybe it was their first time. Pretty cool what they did though, I always wanted to do that when I was 14, but I never had the balls to do it.

Vivien is the most notable crowd member for both nights, because she's lovely and I want to thank her for giving the opportunity to get to see Foals on their both shows. Even though she almost killed me—twice, in one day.
