owlbeerI saw Muse at Wembley last night and they, shockingly, were awesome. I think they can't get better, but this was, again, the best concert of theirs I've been to. Wembley is an amazing venue and the crowd, on the whole, were good. They bounced, the sung, only a few tall people stood right in front of me. *sigh* My view actually wasn't too bad. I've certainly had worse, and the people around me were quite a lot of fun.
My strategy of going to the second show also seems to be paying off as a girl I was talking to said they were far better last night than the first night (like they were at the O2 last year), and while the set-list was only a little different, from last night's, it was different in amazing ways (Bliss! Citizen Erased! No Neutron Star Collision!)
In my ideal wonderful world, there would have been no Guiding Light, Undisclosed Desires or Resistance and songs off Showbiz, but I knew going in that all those things were unlikely. They also made up for Undisclosed Desires by floating out on a platform waay out into the crowd while playing it and giving us a great view.
Bliss was the only song they played I hadn't heard live before, and oh it was awesome.
I was a little disappointed by MK Ultra and Unnatural Selection, they seemed better live last time, which was admittedly the first time I'd seen them performed live.They were still good though.
Matt's video suit? Ridiculous, but so him. Sadly I have no photographs of it as at that point my camera had decided to die. I was however reminded how hot he is on stage with those guitars and piano. Mmm.
I also thought for a second Dom was dressed up as Venom, but no, it was just a faintly ridiculous top. That really would make my Muse fanhood, if Dom decided to bring back the Spiderman costume one more time, preferably at a show I was at.
Things like this is why I live in London, if I ever need reminding.
In non-Muse news:
1. I have a job for between 5-10 days! It's doing something I did in my last job and sounds almost interesting. Sadly it's only for two weeks at most, but it's something at least. I also just realised it's in London Bridge which is right by Monmouth Coffee. Oh god. This is both a good thing (amazing coffee) and a bad thing (oh, my wallet).
2. I uh, seem to have become the co-lead of the website testing team for AO3. I was flattered to be asked, and it gives me the opportunity to get more involved and learn even more about how the archive works, which I'm really looking forward to. :)
3. I managed to lock myself out of the house not once, but twice yesterday. I am a genius. I had to get my flatmate to come all the way home to let me in when the door slammed behind me after taking the rubbish out, and then I had to wake her and her boyfriend up when I misplaced my keys after the concert. I can't believe I did it twice in a day. *shakes head* I owe them dinner, or at least chocolate or alcohol.
4. Josh back catalogue re-watch progress: The Skulls is really not a good movie, worse that I remember. However Josh, Hill Harper and Leslie Bibb are all very pretty in it and it's really the plot that's at fault. Bobby, I mostly still like. (I watched it a few years ago on a plane and had completely forgotten Josh was even in it!) However, it did have way too many unnecessary characters and was pretty melodramatic. The acting (incl Josh's) was very good though.
5. Fringe is back soon! Less than two weeks! My excitement, let me show you it.
