more updates later.

i found myself listening with growing unease. already dropping the ! from their name killed a small part of my psyche. now, listening to the tracks off the new album (yeah a whole 24 hours before the concert, bitches) i thought “oh god, how… mellow…”

hell, even the track titles aren’t as happening. don’t downgrade me from “The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage” and “There’s a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven’t Thought of It Yet” or my favourite yet “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” (yes, i know it’s a coupland title. it’s also what i named my tabulas blog).

now we have such inane stuff – “Nine in the Afternoon” and “When the Day Met the Night”. titles that i might have written in a fit of adolescent despair. where are the compelling, intelligent, palahniuk-inspired songs? and what’s up with ross’ new obsession with the word “moon” found in at least 3 songs?

and i’m still most shaken up that kellie passed up the chance to try snog brendon urie at the mtv asia awards.

but why, colin, why?

being my leechy little self, am bugging bryan to get free tickets. initially forgot about him and his long warner arm, and planned to go for the RM68 (pre 2nd august) free-standing tickets. thankfully kellie accidentally reminded me. “you got free tix, babe?” hmmm… not yet.

*crosses fingers*

haven’t been to a proper concert in yonks. in fact, the one and only proper stadium merdeka gig i went for was alanis morissette way back when. the only thing that came close was nofx last year. well, it was probably better thanks to the glorious moshpit.

i need to see urie in his rouge and top hat. i want to be totally sloshed trying to sing the words to “build god, then we’ll talk” and “time to dance”!
