I'm so cheap, not financially. Just in general I guess.
I went to see Brand New last night and I never realised, it's the best feeling to be expectant about new material.
I had not heard much of their new album, I've heard Jesus Christ because who hasn't but the whole time I was salivating and wanton.
You cannot imagine if you tried and when they played Welcome to Bangkok, I didn't know what was happening really, like it was just music and I was beside the speakers and the vibrations, I thought my heart would Burst through my chest and I didn't take a single breath when they played Jesus Christ and Jaws Theme Swimming. Not one, for over ten minutes.
And it was the longest two hours I have ever spent but the greatest two hours I will ever spend.
The nicest part, they are so delightful and didn't rabbit on about how the Dublin crowd is much better then the London crowd. I hate every band that plays Dublin off against London (and they all do it) because the crowd buy into it every time, as if it is staged and there were rehearsals I wasn't invited to.
It's just so disappointing to see it being encouraged, a prejudice against the English, the crowd is always so young and so impressionable. It's being cultivated and I can see it happening right before my eyes and I am powerless.
And maybe I am being hypersensitive. Having such strong connections to the English (I found out just this evening, my dad drank in the Bedford in Balham and I was there too!) perhaps I am reading too much into it but watching it, it just feels like it will never be over. This silliness between the English and the Irish.. And it is mostly the Irish forcing the issue. We have a habit of not being to let go.
And instead of a support act Brand New had a comedian who Richard and I thought was quite funny but he wasn't given a chance at all and he crashed a burned and at one point he was telling a story about the Irish Car Bomb drink and he totally lost the whole Northern demographic. All under 18, all angst ridden. Shame, shame that indeed.
Other then that, Brand New's new album is UNBELIEVABLE. I just can't get over it.
Never has a band had such an affect. I swear on my life. The whole thing is heart breaking...
I hope I never recover from this night and last...
To bear witness to Brand New
Is to bear witness to God...
Goodnight.
It's been a pleasure.
