This was supposed to be a review of the Bloc Party gig in Lyon... However, there were no tickets when i went to get one... a month ago, that is... Somebody told me there were none 3 months ago... Putain...
Why are all my H&M bags so huuuge? Why do I have so many pairs of Converse? Why does one need so many clothes in order to be hip? Why do I have to wash my towles home, in Romania?
Uptade of previous post: well, Arcade Fire have canceled 9 shows...among which the one on Saturday in Lyon...so, on Saturday I won't have to be depressed...However, I still hate the guts of that fets, Les nuits des fourviers...Lou Reed is playing on the 3rd of july...and I...well, I am NOT in Lyon....nooooo....!!!
Life is mocking me...Why, I hear you ask? well...remember the fact that Arcade Fire and Electrelane were playing in Lyon on 31 March and I'm going back to Romania for the Easter holiday on the 30th...well,Arcade fire are playing again here in Lyon at Le Festival "Les Nuits Des Fourvieres"...on the 18th of July...I am NOT in Lyon at that date...I officially hate the guts of this fest...In '06...just 2 weeks before I got to Lyon, The Strokes played during this fest...Now, excuse me...I must crawl in a dark corner and wallow in self-pitty...erm..till next gig, that is...Blood Arm + Second Sex...fancy...*remembers she must wallow in self-pitty...so she starts doing it*
*fake British accent*In the indie news today:
1. Iggy Pop was kicked out of The Stooges. It was the beer belly. The remaining members stated that the new singer will be The Colourful Swan, also know for playing drums in neo-rave band Klaxons. Here's a sneak peak at them in the studio....
2. Gus Van Sant is reported to have started work on a movie inspired by Pete & kate's outragious behaviour at the Shockwave Awards...However, the two are not the main characters...Jarvis Cocker and the chick from The Gossip are...Makes sense, i'd say...Pete and Kate weren't even there...:|...What, they were?
3. It seems that Segolene Royal is pregnant with her...What?...Oh, that has nothing to do with indie?...Well...ah...Why doesn't it?
4. The Killers have annouced they will be working with U2...oh, sorry..that ain't indie either....
5. Neo-rave(or was that 'happy hardcore'?) band Klaxons will be singing a duet with girl-band Girls Aloud....yes, GA are indie, if you didn't know it....
6. The international music scene is shocked after Sean Lennon went all 'french' in a live show on American TV and started saying how much he loved the word 'ame'...and that the English equivalent(soul) sucks...
7. Santa won the trial against American weirdo-avantgardist Sufjan Stevens...Santa sued Stevens after hearing one of his songs 'Get Behind Me, Santa'..."Stevens used my name to get rich...."....Really?...
8. Carl Barat was interviewed in a Bucharest bar where he stated his new fave band is Hotel Fetish...shit, he did the same with French dudes The Parisians and look now how many crappy indie-wannabies the french scene has....
9. Chisinau is the new capital of indie...I'm spechless....
10. A Romanian student from Insa Lyon(oh...INSA...merde...) has sliced up aaaaaall her friends on the evening of 31 March. She said to the police they diserved it..they were the reason she got back in Romania for the Easter holiday, thus missing an Arcade Fire+Electrelane gig in Lyon...We'll get back with more details on that...yup, we've got people trying to get interviews with the two bands and find out what they think about this....
These have been the indie news brought to you by Guy Very Rich...Good night and lots of good luck to me...
No, I'm not attending ALL the gigs in Lyon...Putain....Not only that I'm leaving a day before Arcade Fire and Electrelane will preform here....*maximum frustration*...but the guys from The Blood Arm have changed the date of their gig..It was supposed to be on the 15th of April...perfect...I get back here on the 14th...But noooooooo...Now, they reported it for the 11th of April...I am NOT here the 11th...I can't decide whether i should be heavily depressed, pull the shuters of my room and stay in the dark(after the Kalxons gig and untill the Rakes one, naturally) or just take the attitude "Life's just mocking me again...oh, well, I should mock it, too).....
