In the backseats of burned out cars
In the disenchantment lane
The ideal angels twist and turn
And ask forgiveness for future mistakes…
Wendy and I tried to purchase tickets for the Snow Patrol concert(s) today, but lucked out. The website just maxed out and when I finally got somewhere, the tickets were already sold out. I’m incredibly bummed about it. Not because I feel sorry for missing out on Snow Patrol, not particularly. I’ve seen them three times by now, I think? Yeah, three times. And while it was excellent every single time, there’s not that burning need anymore. I just wanted to do it for my mom. My mom is this huge Snow Patrol fangirl and I thought it would be brilliant to take her with me. I was all ready to pay for the ridiculously expensive tickets of E47,50 for her. And then we lucked out 
To cheer myself up, I got me a ticket for the Gaslight Anthem in July instead. Not for my mom, because I don’t think she even knows they exist (come to think of it, she might even kind of like them), but because I like them. Sometimes they remind me of the Killers, when they were still awesome.
“The Backseat” is one of the prettiest songs I heard last year.
In other news, I’m learning how to play “Resolve” by the Foo Fighters, and “Not An Addict” by K’s Choice on my bass guitar and I’m terribly excited about it. I’ll keep you updated on how it goes!
It might help, or not at all, that Snow Patrol ticktets were sold out in like 10 minutes.
I know, I watched it happen
Damn I wish I had known this! I got through right away, but had no idea you wanted to go too. Next time we need to synchronise these things, call each other and make sure the first person through to the system orders all tickets.
I really wanted to go, but I can’t due to work. We have a go-live at 01.06
Next time, let me know, I got an email from the website with a pre-sale link…
