I bought Hello Hurricane! Like a week after its release in the states. Though it was spotted in Queensbay like a few days before I bought it. Which, I think is really cool considering I only found Oh!G a month or two after it got released. But THIS CD was printed in Malaysia. So it should be released on time.
Also, I bought Viva la Vida! Finally. BUT, stupid me bought the wrong version. 45 ringgit. I got super excited to see it and it was also a different cover from the only Viva la Vida version so I thought it's some Malaysian version of the Prospekt's March edition because I've seen that the Prospekt's March edition is supposed to have a colour with gold lettering but this one was the black and white and red one. :/ I even asked the lady to open the digipack to see if it had the song booklet. Which it did, but I didn't even realise that it didn't have the Prospekt's March's cover. Oh, and I didn't check the tracklisting at the back either. I just saw that there was another CD in the digipack and assumed it was PM. Heheh. Neways, I've got an illegal copy of PM that Zach gave me so I'll enjoy that while looking for a legitimate copy. I don't feel as guilty because I spent what an American would spend on a Viva/PM CD. In ringgit form. Just that I only got Viva la Vida. and a Dvd. oh. The DVD is probably worth some more money so I'm still in debt. Ahah. Ignore my weird calculations right there.
I tried watching the DVD on the laptop but the audio was all weird. Pausing and being slow and stuff. But when I tried it on the dvd player with the TV it was okay. I played the videos on the wide screen TV and it was HIGH DEF, yeah!
I am also in a bad mood because of someone. Ah, it's sad how we make each other sad. I probably make others sad too. I'm sorry.

I just got back from the MJ movie! It was awesome. Incredibly awesome. They should regularly show concerts in the cinema, cause I'd go.
The dude is amazinggggggg. I could go on and on.
Oh, and I saw the LED suit my dad and his company made for the MJ concert teeheee. This made me excited. Heheh.
I have bunches to say about the movie but I am tired now. Goooood night!
oh and go watch the official Mess of Me by Switchfoot video! IT IS SO AWESOME. Much better than I ever thought a montage-ey music video could be. All the footage are so artsy and they look so incredible.

listening to: On The Wing - Owl C
Oh man. I told myself I'd update my blog more frequently after PMR, for nuffnang's sake. But I haven't been feeling like posting anything, because no one's probably gonna read my what I post. Heheh. SO. Anyway. I bought Paramore's Brand New Eyes at Speedy for 41 ringgit (the price tag said 45.... idk). Which is, expensive, but is the average price of an original CD here so go get it peoples. :)
I still can't find a Prospekt's March edition of Viva La Vida. :/
but it's probably because I've only been looking at the cd shops in Queensbay. And not Gurney. Oh snap I should've followed my dad down town today when he went to pick up mayo. oh wells.
Uhm. Okay. So I guess I'll talk about BNE now. I LOVE IT. I've actually listened to a few songs from the album on myspace. So let's see, on my first listen I wasn't really listening but nothing really caught my ear. But technically I'm really blur and it takes me longer than others for my brain to process... stuff.... yeah. So I listened to BNE a few more times and only then I could like, remember a certain song and it didn't all sound the same anymore. Careful, I found myself skipping a lot and going straight to Playing God, because I kind of overplayed Ignorance when it first got released as a single, so, heh. Yes. And Playing God was the song that I really liked listening to on their myspace, and it was actually stuck in my (and Rehanna's) head during PMR. HAHAH. So. Yes. Playing God is really catchy, and it stands out 'cause it sounds pretty different from the rest of the songs.... in terms of the melody in the verse.... and maybe the chorus too. And the lyrics are pretty direct and easy to understand. Which was not the case for me for Careful. I don't really get the "the truth never set me free" line. It sounded pretty anti-Christ to me when I first heard it. But according to Hayley's explanation of the song in that journal that people got with the Deluxe Edition of BNE, I don't think the truth refers to faith. So yeah. I get the verses of the song, just not that line. Which is weird. I can't seem to relate the verse to that line. Help?
After Playing God is Brick By Boring Brick. And when I was listening to it on Myspace I wasn't really listening to the lyrics, so after reading the lyrics in the songbook I understood what the song was about. I don't LOVE the lyrics but I like em. And the "badaba badababadah" parts are so catchyy and fun to sing. ^_^ And I really like Hayley's vocals on this song. I especially like the parts in the album where most of the instruments stop and you can just hear Hayley's voice.
TURN IT OFF. I think, is one of my favourite songs in the album, I think it was the first song I started playing over and over again after getting the album. I love and understand the lyrics, and the though the music isn't incredibly.... creative or whatever I think it totally fits with the feel or um emotion in the lyrics. And I especially love the ending where only the guitars are playing then the bass and drums come in.
ah. well. i have school tomorrow. baii.
ps: yes. check out that long but not that long compared to other list i've seen list of bands. listen to em if you haven't before. :) and feel free to tell me about any other bands you know. cause I'm looking for new music. and I'm very happy with the fact that I've been introduced to about 3 new bands that I really like over the past week.
