Right, so this biznitch just saw Julian fucking Casablancas and it was FANTASTIC. Just…I cannot believe it. This guy is so great, chickdees/dudes. Serious.



( READ MORE, YEA?!? )

*OMG* Okay...so I saw Franz Ferdinand last nite...and it was so awesome. D: I've been crying all morning and I'm like, "okay dumbass, why the fuck are you crying?" to myself...and then I just cry some more. D: And omg, I'm still nervous.

ALRIGHT PEEPS! So there was this Filter/Lucky Brand in store thing and Bat For Lashes was playing! So I was like, Oh HELL YES. So I RSVPd and shizz, and went! YAY. Now review time! But just FYI, this will probably be super ridiculous. Like, srsly. Well Amina's probably going to be the only one to read it and she loves the ridiculous-ness so I guess I don't need the warning, haha. Right, moving on...

( [.::I knew that you had a flame in your heart::.] )

Kk. Well yesterday I saw Cale Parks + Harlem Shakes + Passion Pit at The Glass House and it was FUN. Of course, it couldn't compare to Friday's show, but it was still really good.

( [[come dance with me]] )

Hmm...it's weird, I don't really know how to start this...but I guess I'll start by saying that this will probably be an awkward review cause lately I've been really angry and calling people the stupidest names. So yes, I apologize for that and I hope that at least you'll be entertained. Mhmm. This is like my fifth time seeing them? Or Idk. Cause I've only seen them twice in concert, but I saw them once on CD USA (with Jojo, hahaha) and on that one comedy show that I wrote about a while ago. Anyway, they were FANTASTIC. They are just the nicest, funniest, coolest guys and every time I see them I'm thoroughly sexified and entertained.

( [[OK GO]] )

So...I saw of Montreal...yup..............................

( OMFG DID I HAVE A GREAT TIME. SHIIIIIIIT. :D )

Okay, so my mom ended up taking me to see Lykke Li at Amoeba’s. Sexy times, hehe:

( I think I'm a little bit, a little bit in love with you... )

Better late than never, I guess.

Tuesday was fantastic, spectacular, amazing, etc. Goodness. I just get so happy when I think back on it.

( Sexiness... )

Yesterday was a most eventful day! My goodness, it was just wonderful. This is pretty long. I couldn't make myself stop writing! Click the link for sexxxiness.

( yay... )

OMFG!!!

Today was a good day.

I woke up (around noon-ish) and my mom had made pancakes. YUM. I started getting ready for the OK Go thing. I don't know why but I only bother to dress up for concerts. I cleaned my shoes and everything. At about 3:30. I decided to check the mail and the Spin Magazine was here. Who was on the cover?? VAMPIRE WEEKEND!! Gosh, I was even happier, if that's possible. There were so many pictures. It was lovely, although the article was more about hype and blogs in general. I did find out that Ezra was a middle school English teacher! That's so adorable. Anyway, I finished reading it, got all my things together and I was out of the house at about 5:00. I thought it was going to take nearly two hours because that's how long it was last time, but I was there in less than an hour. There wasn't too much traffic. It took us a while to find the place because we passed the street we had to turn at.

I was officially at the place at a little past 6. My brother ran in to check if we were at the right place and he saw Tim. My goodness, he totally freaked out. Since I could only buy one ticket, he didn't get to go. I was too scared to go up to him so I just stayed in the car until he was inside again. I lined up with three other girls, one of which was Kalinda! Yay! She had her sexy piano scarf. It was raining a bit so we had to get under these stairs. The two other girls didn't have tickets, so they went to go ask if they could buy some and if we could wait by the door. They did have extra tickets, but they had to wait until the show started. We waited by the door too. From outside I could see them practicing!! My vision isn't the best, but what I saw was crazy sexy. There were these other two girls singing along with them. At about 7-ish the place started getting packed. They let us in a little after 7:30. Me and Kalinda got seats in the front row! For some reason people were steering away from it. We were so close! I got up to buy some candy. I only had a twenty and the place didn't have change so they gave it to me for FREE. That was cool. B)

The show started at a little after 8. Things that I remember (I have a horrible memory):
*They came out and played a song. It was wonderful!!! I was sad that Dan wasn't there though. Drums and Dan's presence make things 292480394 times sexxxier. I'm not sure if it was a new song or something they had made for the show or just a song I'd never heard, but it was great.

*Then they introduced the host of the show. He did a little monologue. I loved it. He was really funny, but what made me laugh the most was that he'd laugh at all his jokes. Then there was a mix of comedians and music.

*OK Go stayed on the stage for the whole show. I would have stared at them the entire time but they probably would have gotten freaked out.

*The host started messing with Damian because he was on Letterman with Bonerama instead of the band. He said that they had secretly broken up and this was their reunion and then Damian gave Tim a hug. GOODNESS! That was incredibly adorable. Everyone in the audience went "aww." :]

*They played "A Million Ways" at some point.

*They also played a song with these two other singers. It was a nice song. Damian kept smirking at one of the girls. His smirks could KILL.

*One of the comedians was talking about how he did this Michael Jackson dance at a Karoke thing. He actually started dancing on stage with OK Go singing and playing along. It was hilarious and he was so good at it too!

*James Franco was there! Since Andy Richter couldn't make it because he was filming in New Zealand, he read Andy's essay. I saw him on the way out too. He's a nice guy.

*Seth Rogan and some other girl helped out with one of the essays as well.

The show ended at 9:20-ish. I called my mom right after but she didn't get there until around 10:15. So, I waited for them to come out. It was raining a bit. I saw Andy run out of the place and walk down the street. It was weird. Finally Tim came out but he was busy. Then he and Damian came out together. I was waiting with Kalinda, and she asked Damian to sign some stuff. Nothing could come out of my mouth. He's so much smaller than I thought he was! Tim too! I just wanted to put them in my pocket and take them home!! I finally got up the courage and asked him to take a picture with me. He did. I look like a monster in it, but he looks lovely. My brother got out of the car to see what I was doing and got a picture with Damian as well. He was sooooo excited about it. YAY! This is the first time I've met someone famous...it was so weird. I don't know. I usually don't like to wait but I guess I was forced to this time. I'm so glad I did. Damian is the nicest person. By the time we were done talking to him Tim had left. :[

We left. My brother and I were jumping around in the car. My mom was so excited too!!

PLUS! I come home and my mom's made chicken.

BEST DAY EVER!!!

(I've painted myself out in order to spare you guys the horrible pain of seeing me.)

I went to see Vampire Weekend today. They were performing at Amoeba's, a music store in Hollywood. My mom didn't really want to take me because I've been incredibly sick for the past two days and traffic to Hollywood is a bitch. I was at the brink of tears and she broke. I left at around 5:30 p.m. after I finished eating and changing. I got at the place at 6:50. It was ridiculous. We were barely moving along on the freeway. There was a giant line and I got a place around the middle. There were already tons of people inside and they were letting us in 15 by 15. I was sooo far away from them. I was so upset. I know that half of the people were only there because of the recent buzz they've gotten >:[ It's selfish of me to want bands to stay small, but it's so much better that way for fans!

They were in the middle of playing a song when I went in. I don't remember which one it was :/ I was the only one moving around, singing and dancing. Everyone around me was NOT moving. It was a bit upseting. I hope the the people up front danced a bit more.

Boston was played! That's definetely one of my favorite songs :] The set was only about 30 mintues.

I didn't know that they were doing a signing thing, so I didn't take my cd. (I know I should have predicted that.) Well I didn't have any money to buy another one, so I left. I called my mom and it turned out that she was lost. I waited outside for about 20 minutes and finally went back in. It was completely freezing and it was windy like a mofo!!! I'd only taken a thin jacket because I knew it was going to be hot inside.

I know I'm going to regret going tomorrow when I can't wake up. When I went back in they were still signing stuff. My mom finally got there about 15 minutes later. They were giving away these Monster drinks and I took one. I was like zooming throughout the store trying to look at Ezra and his prettiness. The stupid employees were being a pain though.

I went outside, met my mom, and she gave me a few bucks so that I could buy the vinyl and get it signed. When I went back in they were already done siging stuff and I wanted to cry :[ I don't know, but it didn't seem worth while. Sure, I love Vampire Weekend, but I just feel horrible. I made my mom drive for hours for a 30 minute set. When she couldn't find her way back she was totally freaking out and even after she found me she wasn't quite the same. I feel terrible.

poo.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG That show was so amazing! It's just, it's left me without words and I'm literally crying. <3 Ok, so, my meager detailed happenings of the night *warning! may contain excessive use of the word "sexy"*:

Before the show -
I got there around 10 in the morning (there was already a line!), but my mom was freaking out since my brother and I had missed school for this and the police are getting real tight on trauncy and all that crap. She dropped us off at my dad's shop and we actually ended up in the line at around 10:35. There were about 15 people in front of me. (The last time I saw them, I got there at 5 an ended up with about the same spot in line. They're getting fucken huge, it's ridiculous.) It was soo hot and due to the fires (I heard that a lot of people couldn't make it to the show because of that. SUCKS =[), the sky was this orange-looking color and there was ash all over the place. My nose was bothering me for a while.
At around noon they moved us out of the street and into one of the ramps. We were seperated into two lines of girls and two lines of guys. I ended up a bit closer to the front this way. For some reason, there's always less guys and my brother ended up third or fourth in line. So we waited and waited and waited. It was unbearable, especially when they did the sound check (Pace, Pioneer, A Time to be so Small, and The Lighthouse). My brother eventually left since the security guys were letting people come back to their spots. At around two my sister showed up and saved our spot in line while I went to eat. I came back and waited and waited and waited. They said that they were going to let us in the venue at around six, which was pretty early, I think. My sister, being the little shit she is, at the last momment called my mom and told her to pick her up because she was tired and wasn't feeling well. That was soo annoying, but seeing as how I was there because of her, I couldn't tell her much. My older brother decided to show up since we had an extra ticket, but he just ended up leaving after five songs because the crowd got too crazy.
We were inside at 6:30 p.m. My brother got a spot up at the baracade and tried holding one for me but people pushed him out of the way. I ended up just grabbing part of the railing, but I eventually pushed my way up (I had to be continuously fighting with this little bitch that was also trying to get up there. When Interpol started the back rows just pushed us both up, though, so it all worked out.) I was in between Paul and Carlos, but closer to Paul (of course!). And then more and more waiting.

Liars -
At a little past eight Liars came on. I had heard such horrible things about them, but I thought they did a good job. The singer came out in this white suit, which was soo adorable. I love it when guys wear white <3 Anywho, they did their thing. The singer danced like kRAzY. He was always pulling up the bottom of his pants, exposing a skinny, pale, probably hairless, little leg. All in all, I really liked it. They played for about 45 mintues, I think. They were off stage at approximately 9. Then we had to wait, wait, and wait some more. My back hurt like a bitch, my feet felt completely numb, AND I was still fighting with that guy for a spot at the baracade.

INTERPOL!!!!!! -
Jed the Fish came out to announce them. He did this stupid thing about the fires that are happening and how we needed to bring the fire for Interpol or something like that. It was retarded.
ahhh!! And then, and finally, my babies came out. I couldn't believe it. My heart was beating like crazy. I just started yelling and clapping uncontrollably. Daniel was wearing his little suit like always. Carlos had the western thing going on. Dave had his suit, but no hat! =[ I could barely see Sam because his drumset and Paul were in the way, but he was wearing his little hat, a white shirt, and a black tie. Paul (oh, Paul) was wearing a black, long-sleeve shirt, his wristband, the same pants he always wears (haha), and his hair was nicely put behind his ears (I was hoping for crazy, hair all over the place Paul, but this was just as sexy). They're all so skinny and seemed so tiny...ahhh, well the point is that they all looked wonderful =D

They started off with Pioneer, like always. OMG that song is so amazing live. I felt the same way I felt when I heard it for the first time and I was almost crying. After that, the crowd got crazy! I was pushed so much, my feet were stepped on, my hair kept on getting pulled, and I think some guy was dry humping me. It was just insane. It was nothing like last time where no one was touching me and I even had a little room to move around. They got worse during the singles and more popular songs. But of course, I was part of the crazy too, hehe. It was so hard to just stand there. I couldn't stop moving or yelling or singing along. I even forgot some lyrics but still mumbled along.
Daniel was unbelievable! His moves are totally killer. He just got into the music so much and during a few songs, when the crowd would yell, he would scream "whoa" with us. It was the most adorable thing ever. He got on top of the speakers sometimes and during one song he jumped onto these giant thingys (I don't know what they were) next to the stage and closer to the crowd. That was sexy. Again, I could hardly see Sam =[ Carlos was looking fucken FINE! During one song he lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth while playing. That was soo sexy. OMG and the way he would move his bass. It was just crazy. Farmer Dave would occassionally have this dork-ish smile. It was so cute. Paul (oh Paul!!!) was just incredible. He looked so sexy throughout the whole thing. He got into the music so much and his little smiles and smirks would just melt my heart. I couldn't take it!!
----Little Random things I remember----
Paul sort of presented Farmer Dave to the crowd. I couldn't hear what Paul was saying, but Farmer Dave just kept smiling and blowing kisses to the crowd <3
I think The Lighthouse was definitely the highlight of the night. I thought they were going to get off stage because I saw Paul take off his guitar. It was the most beautiful surprise! I think Carlos walked off stage for most of the song. There was this spotlight on Daniel and then Paul started singing. OMG it was the sexiest thing ever. First of all, he always has his guitar and seeing him without it...ahh, just...ahhh!!! He had his eyes closed for most of the time and he held the microphone so gently. I swear he was having an orgasm...seriously. I might have been having one too, hahahah! I was actually crying. I tried so hard not so cry because I knew my brother was going to make fun of me but it was all so beautiful. During the end of the song, when the drums and bass come in, Paul, Sam, and Carlos were all in the back, not facing the audience, and this yellow light came on. All I could see was their shadows. It was priceless. That just went so well with the song.
They did a LONG intro for PDA. It was sex. They were all turned around, except Daniel, which looked pretty cool. That guy CANNOT stop moving!
During Pace is the Trick, I don't know if it was that Paul forgot the lyrics or he wanted the crowd to sing along, but he wouldn't completely finish a lyric. It was pretty cool, though.
OH OH! Paul did the kiss during Stellaaaaaa!!! hehe. PLUS, he added this little hand gesture, like when you blow a kiss to someone. Sadly, it wasn't in my direction =[ ahh, but I swear, my legs turned into jello. I think the crowd sand along to this song the most. He had a little smirk during most of it <3
I think that's it. I might remember a few extra things later on. It's four in the morning so I should really finish my homework =/

All I have to say is that Paolo is unbelievable. He's so amazing live and so beautiful!! *hehe* The whole day had this wonderful gloom and it just made everything so beautiful. Oh, and it started raining while we were waiting outside and after the concert!! I love the rain!!
my pictures:

(warning! I'm not a good writer) Today was just wonderful. It started off with a Calc test, which was kind of easy. So going to school on Saturday wasn't that bad. I got home and ate. By 2:30 p.m. I was out the door. I got to Loyola at around 3. There was no one there, so my sister and cousin decided to go get some food and my brother and I stayed. OK Go was just in the middle of soundcheck!!!! No one was there, just my brother and OK Go. It was wonderful. I saw them play 1/2 of two songs and then Damian passed right by me. All I could do was squeal and squeal and squeal. I was so scared and nervous and it was just a wonderful feeling. They didn't let us take pictures because the manager was complaing (what a bitch!). Luckily, earlier I had managed to take a few. It turned out that there was a wedding going on near the stage so they had to postpone the show. Instead of starting at 6 it started at 7. My bother and sister said they didn't want to stay so they left me by myself (punks). Like a loser I waited for 4 hours for the show to start. Luckily, I had a really great spot, front row center, right in front of Damian. The time finally came and Common started off the show. He was alright, but that definitely not the music for me. It felt like an eternity waiting and waiting for OK Go to start. At one point, he pulled up a girl on stage and started air humping her. It was gross. Common finished, the roadies set-up all the equipment, and soon OK Go was on stage. I felt like my heart was going to explode. They all looked so beautiful in their suits. Tim looked so small and cute. All I wanted to do was hug him and put him in my pocket. Andy looked sssoooo hott. The poor girls next to me screamed their hearts out to try and get Andy's attention, but they couldn't. Dan had his little hat on and was just as sexy as always. But no one looked better than Damian. His hair was so shiny and smooth and he looked so sexy in his suit. He took his coat off during one of the songs and my eyes popped out of my sockets. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I sang to every song and screamed as loud as I could. They did both covers and Damian jumped into the audience twice (Unfortunately not on my side. I so wanted to touch that wonderful butt of his!). They were all just as energetic as always. There were some technical problems and Damian seemed so angry, but who actually cared? Just as long as I could see them I was happy, and the rest of the audience too. Before I knew it, they had finished their set, but they came back for an encore, played Do What You Want, and did the dance. I was so surprised since lots of people had said that they had decided to stop doing it. The sound shut off just in the middle of the dance and poor sexy Damian was so upset, but they managed to start over. Who could get tired of that dance? Dan and Andy did some weird thing and they started to laugh, Dan grabbed his privates, and Damian lifted his shirt up a little like always. And then they were done. AMAZING! (Sadly, I couldn't take any pictures during the actual show because I'm a bit of a moron when it comes to cameras.)
