BOOMLANG

Kerstgedachte

De kerst kondigt zich aan. De lampjes lichten overal op. De radio en televisie staan bol van de gezelligheid, het doorbreken van de eenzaamheid en vrede op aarde. Hoe onwaarachtig ook, ook wij doen er aan mee. Dus moet er een boom komen. Geen bescheiden boom, maar een knoepert. Een die maar op 1 plaats past. We waren alleen een beetje laat dit jaar. Een week voor het grote feest zijn keus en…

When I said Spain were violating child Labour regulations I didn’t think they actually were 😭

so korjaamo was absolute fire tonight jesus. definitely my favourite of his gigs i've been to 💚

but i have something on my mind and i'm a bit conflicted.

i was maybe idk seventh row or something, not like super close to the stage but closer than the middle. i didn't take any pics this time, but a lot of people around me did. and multiple people filmed entire songs, autiomaa in particular. and that moment made me a bit.. sad? because for me, this time, experiencing autiomaa was me trying to focus on him but having 15 phones in my direct eyeline filming the entire song. and for that song in particular it felt a bit wrong, you know? (shoutout to those who waved their phone lights in the audience, that was cool)

now the reason why i feel conflicted is because i get it. i get wanting to capture that moment, i really do. and i know how much it means to fans who haven't had the chance to see him live and maybe never will, i get that this is a way to connect. but that's exactly why i feel so two ways about it: i recognise that getting that song on video might be a way to immortalise the moment for someone, and maybe that video serves as a way for someone else, who wasn't there at all, to connect with him. but at the same time, the sea of phone screens filming the entire song, created a disconnect between him, the song and me, someone who was there.

and that song in particular feels to me like a moment where i wish the audience would just... be there for him, with him, in the moment. but then again, last time i saw him less than a month ago i too took a couple of pics of autiomaa. so do i really have a leg to stand on.

i guess where i'm going with this is two things: 1) i wish we could learn to let go of this need to film gigs so much because it does kind of interrupt the live experience, and learn to let go of the fomo, and 2) i wish we could go back to how it was like 20 years ago when artists used to drop pro shot, pro edited live dvd's with cool documentary extras and stuff from like every other tour or something. or official live videos of individual songs. i wish that it wasn't on fans in the audience to capture and convey the moments to the fans who can't be there.

Today I met an AKC sheltie boy who was 1.5yrs old and weighed 10lbs (4.5kg). He was SO small. He had the American-type of face and coat down perfectly, he was just. Minuscule. He was adorable but what on EARTH.

4.5kg is exactly one Spart! But if he was that weight on an American-type stature, I can't imagine what his height might be :') Congratulations on meeting the elusive actually ideal sheltie!

ah yes the annual Ritual of Shame (watching my whole family open gifts whilst I sit there awkwardly because my dad only gifts envelopes of cold hard cash)

I don’t understand. Have people forgotten how to make winter boots or what? No matter which I buy: German, Turkish, Polish, Austrian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian - ALL OF THEM start getting wet after 5 months maximum or several days minimum. I want to cry. Not a single pair is able to handle the snow, what the fuck. What do they make the bedding from, straw?

Back from the theatre, night #1 under my belt.

HOW I WISH I COULD GIF SOME SHITS I'VE SEEN.

Funny stuff:

Kirk's t-shirt: Ross Halfin (written with the tallica font) shoot em all >> those two in this tour are something else.

the one dude whose job was placing himself in front of Lars' drumkit and protect him from the GIGANTIC BEACHBALLS COMING AT HIM

no, i swear, it's been a while but--- is it me or they werent THAT big back in the DM era??? that was super fun to see filmed eheheh

anyway. think about it: your job is being a goalie for Lars Ulrich hdjadkadh

i have NO idea what happened but at some point, james did the usual thing that he does with rob: he offers a palm up devil's horns-- like, their usual "metal high five", right? and rob high fives him 2 times. then james extends the devil horns AGAIN? and Rob and I both just look at his hand, puzzled, but he doesnt take it down. So Rob just pokes it with the neck of his bass (James grinned, so did I)

AND YET AGAIN James extends the devil horns FOR THE THIRD TIME???? IN THE SPAN OF 20 SECONDS????

Rob's acquiesces again, with his hand, up and down, AND JUST THEN the high five hungry james is satisfied and goes back to play.

your guess is good as mine.

at some point rob was on this... idk this round mini platform?? and the crew was pushing and dragging him in the middle of the snakepit, while he played and moved on this minuscule circular platform, like he was on a sedan chair?? i havent yet watched any live vids from the current tour so this was new to me??? what's happening guys??? is this the compromise bc Rob kept feeling the urge to people dive and it wasn't allowed?
