leave it to the killers to whip me out of my scene funk. sarah and i went to see them play at the mtv studio last night and oh hell i felt 22 again. (yeah, fucknuts - in your 20s, 3 years constitutes a lifetime). they played stuff from the new album (which the critics can bash all they want - its not like hot fuss was particularly well-received either and you know how that went), and "mr brightside" and "all these things that ive done." sarah covered most of this on her blog, but there was really something so special about being in brandon and mark and daves sightlines again, singing every word to brightside. three years ago, sarah and i were parked in front of every stage serving as human karaoke monitors. the venues have only gotten bigger and bigger and our biggest lament was always that we couldnt connect with the guys anymore. so last night was a happy throwback. i even got the chance to obnoxiously scream "I LOVE THAT SONG!" when brandon announced theyd be playing "bling" off the new record. that got a laugh out of everyone - including mark (who, contrary to sarahs theory of being the most miserable man in showbiz is actually quite funny, and surely has a secret stash of clown outfits back home). however, when we went back to the green room after the show, sarah asked brandon if he had heard me scream. "that was YOU????" he asked, as if disappointed. WTF??? "i thought it was really funny," he added, "but damn, i thought it was someone...." sarah and i stared at him, waiting for the inevitable finish to the sentence. i guess weve been fans for too long, sar. whatever, ill forgive him, if only because carlos is ganking his look. were gonna toast them all at our party tomorrow, so come on dowwwwwwwwwwwwwn.
