i'm all ska'd out...

hello there family and friends (although none of my family read this, so this is to my interweb family. you are the real stars here)

so my ska phase is drawing to a close. it was a good week, but when you come across the same band for the 3rd time in one week, it starts to lose its excitement. yes, i saw captain stu AGAIN this weekend!! but let me just launch a preemptive strike here, i was going to see city bowl mizers (will get to them just now), and as i arrive, i see that the stu's name is suddenly featured on the set list! all i could say was, 'oh, fuck!'. as much as i do love them, 3 times in one week is a bit crazy and kind of screams 'crazy fucked up fan', which i am not by the way. but hey, why am i arguing here (with myself it seems)? i assume that no one here will believe me anyways, so lets just continue. i did enjoy their performance, once again, but need to take a break. i actually realised that i missed listening to music i dont understand ie afrikaans music. i need some of it, and soon!!! especially foto na dans. i saw their vid today, and realised that its been a MINUTE since i last saw them, and they are one of my fave bands to watch. hello, alex, make a plan here!!!

ok, but lets get to the real deal: CITY BOWL MIZERS!!! the scene loves of my life. recent addition to my heart. and not because of their music, which is pretty cool, but because of their vibe and energy. i am going to become their best friends, and then over a series of drunken nights, take a different member behind the middle school...and ja *sigh* i mean, you have the dorkishly cute guitarist, the crazy awesome lead singer, the small man with a big bass ;), the shirtless drummer (who sort of reminded me of the lead singer from iglu & hartly. thank you), and the random other dude who played something in the band. i dont know, i was distracted. i had no bottom lip left by the end of it, and just stood there having 'mildly' inappropriate thoughts. the trampoline dancefloor didnt help much #imjussayin

but in terms of music, they are pretty cool. they remind me of the rock bands featured in all those teen movies in the early millenium sans female vocalist and bad hair. i can imagine that they were those weird 'punk' kids at the school socials who unlike the masses who enjoyed backstreet boys and nsync, they were on their skateboards listening to sum41 and blink182 (ha, bands with numbers in their name. random). and that other american band whose name escapes me right now. i think it started with an 'a', and was really popular. i think they sang that song, 'pretty fly for a white guy'. wait, its offspring (thank you, jamie). not entirely sure if i enjoyed the tunes cos they all sounded the same to me, AND they didnt play my track, so wasnt too chuffed. tsk tsk CBM, but its ok, i can think of various (well, one) ways that you can make it up to me ;)

woow *phew*
