FALL OUT BOY, YES OR NO

Ricky is going to think i am some Mad yank.
Oh well.
Anyway my friend asked me if I wanted to go see Fallout Boy on tuesday @ nokia theater in times Square.
The thing is, I never really liked fallout boy.
I saw them back in the day, way before they were famous..
before pete wentz revealed his penis to the world.
Before Ashlee was even in the picture.
It was when Fallout boy was just something you would see for like 40 min before Less than Jake at Irving Plaza circa 2003.
I used to call them Falldown Boy.

The thing is the show is down the street in a smaller 2000 person capacity venue.
And I am not into that whole emo music as I once was.
Because back in 2002/3/4 It was still primarily an East Coast New York City / N thing.
I guess I can boast seeing My Chemical Romance in small pub - like venues like the camden natives can say I saw the wombats at the dublin castle back in the day..
I can't believe that band Fallout Boy, the band I once saw at Knitting Factory years ago is like, THAT BIG.
Same goes for My Chemical Romance too. I was sure thursday was goingu to be like THAT HUGE BUT.. it never quite happened.

So tuesday I may or may not see Fallout Boy. The venue is a mere several minute walk from my flat... I guess I'll decide that day.

Again, Ricky must think I am mad. lol

MY LOVE OF THE WOMBATS

Last summer my friend dragged me to see this band called the Wombats at the Annex. I didn't know what it was but I was like, Uh okay.

They blew me away.
So i had to wait and wait till the following year to see them at the annex again this past march.
It was the best show ever and it was 5 quid!

I also saw the Wombats 3 months later from there this past june again, and that was the best night of my life (so far this year)

This past september I thought about going to see them with the Kooks far far away in New Jersey - like two hours from manhattan but by the time I decided to go the show was sold out and it was just too far away.
The reason I didn't go to that show was because I had plans to see Oasis at Terminal 5 in manhattan BUT THE BLOODY SHOW GOT CANCELLED BECAUSE SOME DAFT IDIOT DECIDED TO THROW SOME RUBBISH AT NOEL IN TORONTO.

damn canadians.

I've always wanted to see them in the UK, the idea of it seems magical but it probably would be a bit odd since I'm used to seeing them in small camden barfly sized venues in New York.

The first thing I am doing when I get to london is I'm going to go to rough trade or some shop on berwick or hmv and GETTING THIS CHRISTMAS SINGLE and some friendly fires singles. Lykke Li ones too.. and my list is just large.   

Oh does anyone know Ed Mc Farlane? He's fit. I want to go out on a date with him

VIDEO OF THE WEEK X3

First of all, a big thankyou to Jeany for making for making me aware of this 'one day, christmas classic' by The Wombats. Titled 'Is This Christmas.'

If I was Honest, I have a strong belief that The Wombats father in the video is the once legendary, Les Dennis from Family Fortunes. Interested to find out the truth.

THE WOMBATS - KILL THE DIRECTOR

What a fantastic song.
I know a girl that I can relate this too.
She is annoying but hay that's the opposite sex and love I spose.
I thought i would put the video and lyrics up for your enjoyment




I've met someone that makes me feel seasick
Oh what a skill to have
Oh what a skill to have
So many skills that make her distinctive
But they're not mine to have
No they're not mine

Whenever she looks i read the nearest paper
No i don't care about the soaps
No i don't care about the soaps
Though i'm acting like i'm in an Eastenders episode

If this is a rom-com
Kill the director
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director please

Carrots help us see much better in the dark
Don't talk to girls; they'll break your heart
And this is my head and this is my spout
They work together; they can't figure anything out

So with the angst of a teenage band
Here's another song about a gender i'll never understand
Here's another song about a gender i'll never understand

If this is a rom-com
Kill the director
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director please

This is no Bridget Jones
This is no Bridget Bridget
This is no Bridget Jones
This is no Bridget Bridget
This is no Bridget Jones
This is no Bridget Bridget
This is no Bridget Jones
This is no Bridget Bridget
This is no Bridget Jones
This is no Bridget Bridget
This is no Bridget Jones
This is no Bridget
Bridget Jones
