Week 24: I <3 DCFC.

so on monday night, i died and went to heaven. it was just like how i'd always imagined it to be. lots of bright lights, laughing people and of course, the best band in the whole wide world.



heaven is a field of flowers where rain is plenty and ben gibbard and the love of my life, chris walla, are serenading me with the sweet sweet sounds of their music.


changa and gen - the other Cabbies for the night.

2 years ago, i watched them play live at darling harbour, and i thought that live music and DCFC could and would never get any better than that - but i was wrong! they were so much better while playing in enmore theatre that it was just unbelievable! how can one band be so good!? i don't know...but you know what? I DON'T CARE!



they played songs mostly from their new album, Narrow Stairs and a much older, and possibly more obscure album, We've Got The Facts And We're Voting Yes. like i said, We've Got The Facts is a more obscure album and i don't think it's as widely known as their more popular Transatlanticism or Plans albums which is why when they played those songs, almost no one was singing along. which is kinda sad because WGTF is a really good album. it does not sound anything like their other songs, which is one reason why i think it's brilliant - it stands out.

but oh well, i was singing along albeit by my own lonesome self so it was still good.



and of course, they played some crowd staples like Title and Registration, Moviescript Ending, Tiny Vessels, Marching Bands of Manhattan and of course, the crowd favourites, I Will Follow You Into The Dark and Transatlanticism (which by the way, the latter was the very last song played for the night and my god did the concert end on a high).

i cannot stress just how much i LOVE DCFC. i love them like i would love my own daughter or son, if i had one. they are just SO GOOD live. i'm not being biased when i say this but DCFC is still the best band i've ever heard play live. no one has even come close; not Coldplay (whom i love to death as well), not Snow Patrol and definitely not Dashboard Confessional.

here's a video of them playing I will follow you into the dark. you'll be able to hear me sing along rather shamelessly to the song and i sound like shit..so forgive me. i've got heaps more other videos though and i guess i'll only put them up if there's a demand for it.

ask and ye shall receive. if not, then here's the video.
