Tragic Kingdom.

What the hell happened to Gwen Stefani's voice?

I was all excited that No Doubt were performing on American Idol this week, and even more so when I found out they'd be playing Just A Girl. But then this happened. What the fuck?

I've been quite psyched about the No Doubt reunion tour, hoping they'd stop by DK, and I've even been listening a bit to Tragic Kingdom these last few weeks (seriously an awesome album. I live happily in a "Rock Steady DID NOT HAPPEN" world.)

But that performance was so messy. I don't get it.

Btw, a confession. I love American Idol. Shut up, it's fucking awesome. And Ryan Seacrest is seriously the king of the world. Like, KING AWESOME of the world.

But that is some serious digressing, right there. Oh well, might as well keep going.

Tonight I'll be heading to Jolene for their birthday bash. The Adam from The Good The Bad is DJ'ing, and he might just be my favorite DJ in CPH. Except Silas Starling. He's fucking ace. The point it, I plan to dance until my feet hurt.

Tomorrow, I want to go to The Blue Van in Tivoli. Probably not happening though, as I don't have company to do so. Anyone want to come to TBV with me? Pretty please?

Yes, I'm begging the internet for company. I'm a sad, sad human being.

Currently watching the new Skins episode, and I must admit, this guy Freddie (actor Luke Pasqualino) might just redeem the show completely in my eyes from the horrible place I put it when they decided to replace almost the entire cast.

That was a long sentence, but seriously, look at him.



Anywho, don't have much time. Heading out for Caspian & The Good Times @ Studenterhuset this afternoon. Might not be completely sensible, I'm still sick as fuck, but maybe some neat acoustic folk is just the cure. At least in my ideal world it would be.

This one's my favorite. It literally gives me goosebumps.

btw.

This is basically the coolest ad ever made.

The new series begin on the 22nd. Now, I love Skins. Love love love. (it's all Ida's fault, btw). But I may have loved the previous two series and its cast too much to take in this completely ('cept for Effy) new one. I'll definitely be watching come the 22nd, I'm just anticipating quite a bit of scepticism on my part.

RE: The Killers on Saturday Night Live.

Since I'm on a completely different continent, I don't get to watch SNL until Sunday normally. As I was too busy Sunday to, well.. Acquire this weekend's show, I didn't watch it until yesterday. I was especially looking forwards to Tina Fey's reprise as Sarah Palin and, of course, the performance of The Killers.

So Anne Hathaway (who did an awesome job hosting, btw. I think I might've fallen a little bit in love with her. She's funny, pretty, and plain awesome.) introduced them and my first thought was, "Why does Brandon Flowers look so uncomfortable?"

That is just one of the more awkward poses he did, and the (crap, sorry) picture doesn't even show it properly. He seemed extremely nervous the entire way through "Human". It was just strange.

And then I noticed his shoulders. HIS FEATHERY SHOULDERS. Here's a close-up.




What is that?! WHY ARE THERE FEATHERS ON HIS SHOULDERS? It's all I could think about through the entire performance. That, and his looking so uncomfortable and nervous, and completely unlike the entertainer I remember from the two times I've seem them live.

But, you know. Then he makes this face:



...and it's like it's all okay again. I've forgiven the glittery, golden suits. The 'stache. And I can forgive him for the feathers too. Suddenly they really don't seem that bad. They kind of suit him, don't they?

And the closing performance of "Spaceman" was just awesome. Definitely less awkwardsness and more fun. And even if the songs lyrics are completely silly and make no sense (seriously, alien abduction? Really??) it's such a cool track. And extremely catchy.

I'm getting more and more psyched about this album coming out. And "Human" actually turned out to be quite a grower. Despite my initial dissappointment, I sort of love it now.
