Twisted diamond heart, i'm a weekend warrior

MGMT + The Whitest Boy Alive were breathtaking. I went with Nooranah, Vanessa and Nadhirah and we were stuck about 7 rows from the stage. I had to tiptoe most of the time to see past people's heads, but I had such an amazing time! We also bought a daisy to throw to Andrew during the concert but we broke it at one point so we stuck it in Vanessa's hair.

Halfway through I kicked off my shoes, lost them and my whole bag somewhere on the floor, danced barefoot and didn't care even when my toes were being crushed. The crowd was a little bit awkward though, at times. There were people who kind of just stood there with their arms crossed, which was damn stupid because you paid over a hundred bucks to see an amazing band live man. At least move to the beat or something! Hahaha these two girls beside me were dancing so I joined in too. I probably looked fucking stupid as hell but self-consciousness goes out of the window when you have MGMT in front of you.

I've never really listened to The Whitest Boy Alive before this, but they were really great performers! Erlend is incredibly attractive in every sense of the word. Their set was pretty short actually, but they played good music and it was so fun. Then there was about a half hour of equipment checks and whatever before MGMT finally came on!

They opened with It's Working if I remember correctly. It was so fucking surreal I swear to god I could have died. And Andrew was wearing kitty ears oh my. They played a lot better than I'd expected based on youtube videos I've watched. Andrew's voice is heavenly and Ben is amazing at his keyboard. I think my favourite song of the night was Of Moons Birds and Monsters. OK actually it's a tie between that, Weekend Wars and Flash Delirium. Crazy shizz. Sigh their set felt like it was never gonna end. It was so lovely. I have this mental image of Andrew singing with his eyes closed ingrained into my brain. It is one heck of a beautiful image.

The crowd went crazy during Kids and Time To Pretend the ground was actually shaking!!! HAHA but I wanted to laugh during Siberian Breaks because it is a 12 minute song but these people around me kept thinking it was ending whenever the song went into one of the quiet bits and started cheering but then the song would pick up and it was like "dang it" cause no one including me really knew all the words to it lol. K then at one point they left the stage without saying anything and I honestly thought that was it. BUT HOLY SHIT THEY CAME ON AGAIN AND THE CROWD JUST SURGED FORWARD OH MY GOD AND THEY PLAYED BRIAN ENO AND THE HANDSHAKE AND SOMETHING ELSE AND CONGRATULATIONS AND MY HEART COULD HAVE BURST AND EVEN IF IT DID IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A-OKAY BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE DIED AT THE BEST FUCKING MOMENT OF MY LIFE SIGH.

BUT OF COURSE all good things must come to an end. It was so painful to watch them leave the stage, and to realise we were supposed to carry on with our lives now ;___; I found my bag and shoes lying on the ground once everyone cleared off, and then we got a $5 cup of coke which was really just a lot of ice and went home. I had to take a cab home cuz it was 12 30 by the time I really got out of the place. Sigh. Best 140 dollars I have spent thus far. I hope they release another album soon and go on tour and come here again and play Metanoia because that song is the ultimate shit. It is also another 13 minute song. Hahaha.
