I'm TOO used to the heat! Although I do hate extremely hot weather, I hate extremely cold weather as well.

Nothing planned for 2009 as of right now . I might go on a trip in a month or so, but idk where.

And I've been checking the website that posts gigs of who and where, but none interest me.

A few popular bands are coming, but none I'd want to see. Honestly, the only people worth seeing as of right now would be Muse or Franz Ferdinand.

Omg, that exactly! I always want to talk about Muse but feel like people will think I'm strange if I do.

Wow, but that's awesome you won a radio contest. Those things are so impossible.

The crowd was rowdy? I LOVE when the crowds get so rowdy and start pushing, jumping, screaming. It's so electric. At the Kooks gig, I was in the front on the barrier, and I was getting pushed around and slightly moshed. The next day,my entire backside of my body was bruised and sore, lol. A crowd surfer even fell onto me! It's okay though, those are the kind of things that make gigs exciting. Now if only Muse performed here...

Yeah, not enough people give YCHISMB enough credit. A ot of people think it's a sophomore slump, but it really isn't a bad record. Just in comparison to their first record, the second one seems like a letdown. I don't like it when people expect perfection out of everybody.

Yeah they do have a quite a few music videos. I've seen a few, I'm not really interested in watching all of the music videos. My favorite videos by them (that I've seen) are Darts of Pleasure, Do You Want To, (beginning of) Dark of the Matinee. I also noticed that in Michael, Alex looks exactly like an actor named Cillian Murphey. Watch the video and look up the guy, you'll see what I mean.

And yesssssss! I got my permit today! The test was super easy once I studied. I'm so excited to drive but no one in my family wants to take me.

Yes, that exactly! I don't feel like I'm alone! I wanted to just talk about Muse the whole time but I felt like people would over hear me and be like , as usual.

OMG, THAT'S HIM. That's so weird! How'd you find that? I've known this guy for like...10 years. We went to the same elementary, middle, and high school.

Omg! His video was so cheesy! That guy who was sitting at the computer, his name is Adam. Adam always makes cheesy videos like that. Oh scott, he does deserve it though. He looooves AFI.

Really?! Whoa Lib, good job! I dont think I'll ever be able to win a radio contest. They're waaayyyyyy too hard. And how was Jimmy Eat World?

Haha, that's cool. I only listen to a few songs from there anyway (DYWT, YCHISMB, I'm your villian, Well That Was Easy, and a few more)

Oh dear god, I would DIE.

I almost died today when it was 60 and gusty here.

Yeah, it's pretty bittersweet. Like for a week after the concert, I was just buzzing from it. And then I slowly tarted realizing how terrible they actually we're. I have no respect for them anymore.

Even though eventful isn't a very popuylar online thing, it's still sad that you and me are the ONLY eventful hawaiians that want franz to come here.

And omg! So today I was at school in my geometry class and I was just randomly talking to my friend scott. Now scott is a rocker kid, not a 'scene' kid or anything like that, but he dresses in sort of rockerish stuff and he ONLY listens to rock music. SO anyway, he won this contest to go and help the band AFI while they are recording in the studio. He has to fly out to LA in 3 weeks to do it. So I'm like "The only band I would fly to LA for would be Muse" and then I hear the most unexpected thing. He was like "Yeah, yeah. Muse are awesome"....... I was so shocked! I actually had a weird feeling come over me, I think I almost even shed a tear from me being so stunned! It was just so weird for someone to like Muse...AT MY SCHOOL. And then I was looking through his iPhone and saw that he had the entire Black Holes and Revelations album AND it's b-sides.

I was just like "Oh my god scott, this is so shocking....blah blah blah...but you should get their better albums" and he's like "oh I already have them all, Absolution and..." and then I cut in with "origin of symmetry?" and he's like "yeah that, and showbiz." I'm in uber shock mode right now. It was so amazing the FINALLY have someone close to me like muse and actually know who they are! It was very overwhelming too, that's why I almost teared, lol. I'm a baby.

Really?! It's been cold here too, just not snowing cold, lol. I'm so used to the warm weather that when it gets doen to 60 degrees, I'm freezing my ass off! I need like 5 layers of clothes.

That's cool! I've been wanting to buy the first two Franz abums, but I have no money! Luckily, I got all of the first album from limewire with CD quality! It was such a good find. But yeah, I still have yet to get my YCHISMB.

Hahaha, I LOVE the DYWT music video! It's franz at their best.

And yes I did go to The Kooks show. That was back when I really liked The Kooks. I was on the barrier in the very middle, and had the time of my life. I even caught the singers hat when he threw it into the audience! And after the gig, we met the singer in the back of a truck where he was drinking and smoking a cigarette. Even though I had the time of my life, I really don't like the Kooks anymore after seeing them. They are snobs. The singer was a sloppy drunk, and he didn't have enough respect for his fans here to perform sober! He was drunk, stumbling, slurring his words, forgetting the lyrics, being a real slob/dick. He also ripped a nice 5 inch rip down the hem of his ass right when he got on stage. That was lovely.

and OMG! That eventful thing is complete bullshit. You and me the ONLY franz fans here? This makes me feel happy about the muse eventful thing!

oh yeah, typical day for you...

maybe you could hook me up.

Hey! It's been a long time. How have you been?

No I actually missed the live chat. I saw a 10 second youtube video of it, but that was it. Thanks for the link!

I was in (and still partially am, but forcing myself out of) a franz phase about a month ago. I'm not bored with them or anything, I'm just afraid that if I keep listening to them as much as I was, I'd get bored with them. That's kind of what happened with the Arctic Monkeys for me. I'm pretty bored with them. But new album this year, I'm excited for that. (All of my favorite bands are releasing new albums this year! )

Yeah Kasabian are pretty good. I think you'd really like them.

I swear, all I listen to now is Brit Rock. Nothing here in the states is appealing to me. The UK is where music is at right now. All we have here is shit "rock bands" and even shittier rap "artists".

sup bitch

(that Alex gif FINALLY loaded on my computer. It's pure genius! )

Ahaha, yeah those sign's we're quite lol worthy .

Like 5 muse boardies we're in the front row, and if I'm correct, the one that gave alex the vodka sign was someone from the board named Liz.

The gig was super short, which was gay. I was expecting like, an hour and a half set, not a promotional store gig/appearance. It's okay, it was great anyways.

Yeah their music is super fun. Their myspace only has a few songs by them, which sucks. You can find much more on youtube or something.

I'm finally starting to stray away from muse AND franz. I haven't really been listening to muse, just a few songs here and there, and I cut down on the franz a lot too. So lately I've been listening to bands like Kasabian and Friendly Fires. I really think you would like Kasabian (if you haven't heard of them already). They are like a rockish british band. Kind of hard to categorize them.

and ANOTHER random thing! Here is my favorite FOTC song of the moment. This is from their episode from last week. It's called "Sugalumps" . This song is made of complete win. I think it may be my favorite FOTC song...

There is an universally proven equation that states that more prog = more fat. Now, symphonic monster...

^

I would have just told you that in the fat matt thread but it was locked.

Yeah, I can't wait either! 2 scott's on american television, I have no idea what to expect.

Oh man Lib, the Amoeba webcast was GREAT. They're showing rebroadcast's here: http://www.amoeba.com/live-shows/videos/franz-ferdinand.html

Enjoy. I know you will

Okay, random question. Do you like the band Friendly Fires?

The leno performance was GREAT. I loved how Alex completely teased his hair and made it all feathery

And Nick looked so cute, although I didn't like his outfit.

Overall, great performance. It was so worth me staying up and dying of sleep for 2 hours last night

Oh man, I'm SO excited. I can't wait another 7 hours to watch this.

I'm so amped to be seeing Franz ON TV. Woot!

And tomorrow at 4 pm, there will be a live stream of Franz performing at Ameoba Hollywood. It'll be on ameoba.com or something. Check the franz thread for the link to the website.

Yeah, I realized that right after I messaged you, lol.

I'm so excited for Leno tonight! I'm expecting Ulysses but hoping for [No You Girls[/i] or Turn It On.

I didn't try. I would try right now but I'm actually at school on the library computers

Oh, the life of a muse addict... leaving class just to post on the board.

And I actually have a resized version of the big gif you sent me, I looooove it.

omg i'm retarded

THANK YOU!

Omg, thank you so much for telling me! I literally had a half scream half orgasm noise come out of my mouth when I looked at the information for tomorrows Jay Leno and it said Franz Ferdinand performing.

And I'm looking at the show information for Craig Ferguson on friday night and it says "Sharon Stone and the Dap Kings" perform or something. He's The Late Late Show on CBS, right?

UGH!

Idk why but when I put the .gif as my avatar, it doesn't play. It just shows the first frame.

Do you know how to fix this?

I FUCKING LOVE YOU. Those are fucking bomb!

And omg, your Matt avatar made me laugh out loud
