Eastside

We got a place, and I'm moving this weekend. Gah! Stressful! I'm actually dying, and Tranny is NOT helping because he went out all night last night (as he does) and is now collapsing in hysterical giggles at the mention of anything at all. Also, he put on a Cher CD to pack to, and keeps warbling along to it in a silly voice. Ye gods.

Most of my crap is in boxes, but I still have plenty to go. I'm going to have to pack the comp up soon, too, so I have no idea when I'll be in touch with the internet world again. (Also, the board is down, hence me posting here...)

I've pretty much got to sort out all of this shit in the next couple of hours, because after that I'm going to a picnic that I organised (with the help of the two most organised people in the known universe). It'll be great, but nevertheless, I'm stressing.

Too much to do! Way to much shit to pack! Argh!

I'll post again from my new home. Oh, and probably photos of things.

GOD, WILL THAT CHER CD NEVER END? I'M PICKING THE NEXT GODDAMN CD.

MUSE! HAARP! EEE!

WARNING: Pretty much entire post of squee.

So, I'm listening to a leaked version of the Muse HAARP CD, the gig they played at Wembley Stadium. What? I paid to see them four times (four!) last year, and I'm going to get the DVD/CD combo as soon as it's humanly possible with cash money. Don't judge.

Anyway, it's the BEST THING EVER. I'm too filled with squee right now to really say why, but... It sounds amazing. Almost as good as seeing them live, to tell you the truth. I'm getting delicious shivers listening to Knights and Butterflies and Hurricanes, remembering how extraordinarily good they were when I saw them in Melbourne and Sydney.

OK, so Invincible just came on. I always thought it was sort of boring (even live) but Matt's doing this amazing weird static thing which, coupled with what the set would have looked like, is spacey and cosmic and spectacular.

Not to mention the sheer sexiness of Supermassive Black Hole live. Dude.

Ooooh, piles of squee. PILES.

And I haven't even listened to Micro Cuts or Take a Bow.

OK, Time is Running Out is making me shiver like mad. How fucking awesome! The crowd! Oh holy fuck! Best version ever! Oh my god!

Matt at the end of the song: That's the biggest mosh pit I've ever seen! And I've seen a few...

Hee hee hee.

New Born! Ah! This is just... Epic. In such a happy place right now. The guitar! Ah! I'm smiling so much that my face is aching.

Unintended... Wow... I had to actually stop and close my eyes when this came on. Wow. Delicious.

Wait for it... Micro Cuts. Oh holy hell. Jesus. Achingly beautiful. Matt's voice is soaring. This rocks!

Stockholm Syndrome! Freaking amazing! This has always been one of my favourite songs to rock out to, and it sounds like it completely went off. Plus, awesome extended outro.

Take a Bow! Oh so good. Although, fuck them for cutting out all of the crowd-chorus in the beginning of this song. When I heard it for the first time live, the swell of the crowd mingling with Matt's divine voice was the greatest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. How dare they strip it back! Ah well, it's still spectacular.

Go listen, folks. Or better yet, GET IT WHEN IT COMES OUT. DO IT NOW.
