I'm kicking myself so hard right now for forgetting to make any sort of reservations at Citizen Cake for this weekend... I've been wanting to go for moooooonths, and even thought about making the reservations back in January!
...only to completely forget soon after. Pfft... haha, ah well. 'sall good. Will save it for some other special day en el futuro!
AND, for some reason I'm completely enthralled in this song right now ->
(haha sorry, I don't have an mp3 and haven't ordered the JP release... so here's a disturbing youtube video I found with it playing!)
I guess I never really got a clean listen to it since Light Grenades' US release, and completely forgot it was included with the Japanese release... so I'm only now getting the chance to appreciate it. FREAKING GREAT tune! Definitely a stand-out! Can't get that riff out of my head...
:) Pretty tired, but I'll try a short recap... pardon any run-ons, misplaced commas and apostophes, or things that just plain don't make any sense. :D
Oh my jiggens, getting there an hour early actually paid off. Our spot was fantastic. At the Warfield, there's basically three sections to the floor - the actual dance floor (right in front of the stage), and two sections of floor following it, both about a 5 step stairway raised above the dance floor. We got right at the front of the first raised floor, against the railing. Such. A good. View. And no moshing, which is what really made it great.
The setlist was fantastic. Though... they didn't play Rogues. I'll kill them later, but... Paper Shoes, Pistola, Megalomaniac (encore finisher, epic), Sick Sad Little World, New Skin ACOUSTIC, Pardon Me ACOUSTIC, Summer Romance, A Kiss To Send Us Off, short cover of Linus & Lucy (that song everyone knows from Charlie Brown), a near complete reinterpretation of Redefine with acoustic guitar, and a good amount of others were all performed fantasmically. They played a lot of older stuff, actually. HOLY BUTTER!
I'm feeling like A Kiss To Send Us Off was probably my favorite of the night. I've actually spent whole bart commutes to and from work just listening over and over to the 15ish seconds of rock-out goodness before the last chorus, and to see it performed live was one of the most epic things I think I've ever witnessed. Words fail.
I didn't bring my powershot, but still attempted to take some shorts with my phone. Didn't turn out TOO well. I'll spare posting any videos... can barely make out the songs in them anyways. ;D
Oh! HAHA! I just remembered, someone threw a tight red blouse on stage at Ben, and he got all
excited and said "yay! I have something to wear to the afterparty!...
[reads what's written on it] oh wait. it's for brandon. :/". And already
having taken his shirt(s) off, Brandon puts it on, despite it being about 3 or 4 sizes too small. Pretty retarded in retrospect, but hilarious during the moment, nonetheless. XD
This is the closest any concert has come to topping Jamiroquai. Buuuuuuuut... still didn't, I don't think. Even if we were front and center in front of Brandon.
Still waiting for the act that can top JayKay...
I completely forgot I had my copy of Light Grenades shipped here to work... quite a pleasant surprise. :D Even if the leak has been out since two Saturdays ago...
Shipped a day ahead of release to boot! Time to make 320 rips... hehe.
Oh man... this is getting me all anxious. Can't wait till January! I was lucky enough to bank in on ticket pre-orders last Tuesday, and scored a floor ticket to the Warfield show. :)
Stunning. Eizinger was really telling the truth when commenting that Light Grenades sounds like "13 different songs by 13 different bands."
The title track... meh. Not feeling it yet. Hopefully that'll change.
Only a couple more weeks! =)
