so my sister felt like barfing during the coldplay show

we went to see coldplay on monday in massachusetts and halfway through my poor sister almost passes out. plus she asked me for my extra earplugs. at coldplay!

i realize this is a cliche thing. to make fun of coldplay. and i am not doing that. we don't dislike coldplay! or we wouldn't have gone to their concert. i think she may have felt like puking not because of the guys on the stage, but more because she has spent all summer getting up at 5 a.m. and working all day and coming home and working all night at being a mom while her brat little sister has spent the summer traipsing around europe without a care in the world.

we have seen coldplay live two times. once on their last tour. and then this time. after this show, my sister said, well, it was pretty much the same vibe as the last one. and i said, yeah it was the same, except with crappier different songs. and she said, and crappier outfits. the audience seemed to enjoy it, though.

anyway, since i haven't really been paying attention to coldplay, i was not aware they'd be doing this:



i will let you deem for yourself whether that is good or not.

my favorite parts of coldplay's catalog all come from their second album, a rush of blood to the head. i think it is darker and more complex of an album than most people give coldplay credit for. but since they do have songs like viva la vida and fix you i can see why people don't give them credit for the stuff that is, well, not like that. like this:



elbow opened the show. i missed some of elbow. cause we were getting all fucked up and stuff in the parking lot. in a minivan! ha ha, maybe not. but, damn guy garvey has such a voice. one of the best.



anyway, that's that.
