fffffff

Day 4 - A song that calms me down

• If I’m angry: I Would Never Wanna Be Young Again - Gogol Bordello
• If I’m anxious: Headfirst for Halos - My Chemical Romance
• If I need to focus: How it Ends - DeVotchKa
• If I want to sleep: Sound the Bugle - Bryan Adams

If I’m angry, I need to listen to something loud and fast. If I’m anxious, I really need a distraction or some reassurance that I’ll be fine. I usually need something quieter or slower to get me to focus. It helps if it’s instrumental, so I won’t get distracted by trying to sing along. Once again, quieter/slower music to help me get to sleep. That song is just one of many.

Gogol Bordello on New Years Eve

It was amazing. 

We ended up going to Subway for dinner since it was so close to the metro station. This guy stopped me after I’d ordered and asked about my Supernatural shirt. I tried to explain that “No, none of them were ever in N’Sync, and as far as I know, Jim Beaver hadn’t ever been on Dancing with the Stars. Yes, it is an awesome show, and you should certainly consider watching it. I’m glad you’re so excited for American Idol. I guess.” That was the gist of it, really.

We ended up getting in line early enough that we ended up in the front row again. While we were standing up front, we struck up a conversation with one of the girls next to us and found out that we had pretty similar interests and then discovered she had a tumblr. The girl next to me was talking about how she liked being in the mosh pit, so I talked to her about that and then found out that she was going to the show in New York tonight.

The opening band, Trouble Funk, was also fantastic. I was kind of sad that we didn’t get to see Man Man, though. Near the end of their set, we noticed people from backstage on the little balcony over the stage. They were dancing and being ridiculous. It was adorable.

Then Gogol Bordello came on and everyone surged forward and tried to crush us against the barricade. It was great. I’m sore. My voice sounds wonky because of all the screaming on top of my cold. They opened with one of my favorite songs, Ultimate. There were a lot of elbows hitting me in the head and back. The girl behind me basically ended up pressed against my back with her arms over my shoulders. Hutz splashed us liberally with some red wine. I got hit in the chest, Katie got hit in the face, and I don’t remember where Cody was hit. 

tl;dr 

It was a great way to end and begin the year, especially since I was with two of my best friends. I’d love to do it again.

The Gogol Bordello concert was glorious.

But I’m exhausted, so I’ll ramble about it later.

Happy New Year, though!

The concert is in a few hours.

I’m at the point where I’m grinning like a loon because the excitement’s really hit me.

Also I wonder if any other tumblrfolk are going to be there.

Anyway, time to get ready. :D

CODON
