Killers @ MSG

The show opened up really quickly. In the middle of conversation the lights go off and the stage lights up blue with a lower case k front and center. The Killers take stage and the place goes wild. They immediately begin playing Spaceman off the new album. Everyone is on their feet (singing "the starmaker says it aint so bad, the dream makers gonna make you mad. the spaceman said everybody look down, its all in your mind!") and no one I saw sat down throughout the rest of the show. Way to kick it off!

They played about 20 songs and all three albums were represented pretty equally. The 3rd song was Somebody Told me, the place e-rrupted! Other great songs were Human, Can You Read Mind, All These Things I Have Done and Mr Brightside. During All These Things I Have Done, the crowd was chanting "i got soul but im not a soldier" for like 1 minute until the band joined in (great moment). One of my fav moments was the performance of Sam's Town - The Abbey Road version. I had never even heard it before, its a beautiful song. 

They ended the night with When You Were Young and then thanked NY a bunch of times. The drummer threw out sticks to the fans, everybody cheered like crazy of course. Going into this concert I was a pretty big fan of their work. I only started listening to them after their 2nd album but went and got the 1st soon after. With their 3rd album coming out late in 08 and then attending this show, I am an even bigger fan. They really sound awesome live! 

Im not gonna proof this so sorry if theres mistakes. bye

oh the button killed my cool

so, this is my first new blog. just got this fancy website. yahoo! so check this. i dont think im cool anymore, and i almost had it too.

last weekend i got my friend over and its like 4 am, im starting to sober up by now. anyway that has nothing to do with it. we start talking about this chick, shes a bartenter in Yonkers, not gonna say where. Anyway my friend asked me about this chick and i told him, her body aint bangin but its dope. then he asked me about her face. See, a girl can have a good body but if her face isn't up to par, its a deal breaker as far as long term goes. (now im getting off topic, ill talk about this in another episode) I told him her face is cute, but... i used to expression "cute as a button" and he got on me for that. I mean this girl is really cute, so i thought the expression fit, ya know. He called me an old man. Hadn't heard that phrase in like 20 years! To be honest i dont think i've even in said it, but fuck it i said and now i totally lost my cool. I guess its just not a way to describe a girl (unless shes 3), but sometimes its fun to pull the pin from the grenade and see what happens. It doesn't always blow up in your face, does it?
