Also fuck anyone who complains, my fucking god Coldplay put on a show.

 

[coolian2]

It was amusing I mooted the possibility of Neil Finn turning up for Four Seasons In One Day to Ax several hours before the show.

Did I nail it? Shit yeah

 

[Axver]

For the record Ian is not lying.

About Four Seasons. I await proof about the joint.

Funnily I was actually joking with you about Neil. I heard the soundcheck and it didn't sound like Chris Martin, but I went down a "fuck it why not speculate" path. Absolutely one of my favourite concert moments.

 

[coolian2]

Oh evidence of the joint? In my last post I very nearly said "that Coldplay guy" because I was absolutely fucked if I could remember Chris Martin's name.


I think Gweynth had a similar issue

Hang on a minute, I believe I was the first of us to speculate it could be ol' Neil!

 

[Axver]

Also I should deffo stop on the wine but a). it's delicious and b). for once I'm at home on a Saturday night and I can do whatever the fuck I want.

You do make a point. I encouraged you because he's on a "fuck yeah let's do anything!" run

Saturday? I should crack a beer.

You haven't already?!

I love this point in his career. He's just all "yeah hey I'm Neil Finn and I'm gonna do a thing, stand back".

Take notes, Bono.

 

[coolian2]

I got home and sat on a nearly dead bottle of Smirnoff. Might as well let the soldier die with dignity.

 

[Axver]

Excuse checks out.

"What's that Mr Martin? You've got 47,000 people in my city? Step back for a sec"

Actually it was a really cool false start before Neil came on stage. Absolute highlight for me.

Also Bono, try this have fun thing. It's kinda cool.

 

[coolian2]

Excuse checks out.

I was hoping so.

 

[Axver]

Because Neil hasn't been involved in enough people's highlights recently.

That fucker.

On the other hand last night the bassist in one of my favourite bands suggested we jam sometime, so you know.

That isn't a euphemism right?

 

[Axver]

I... hope not. His hand accidentally brushed mine at one point.

OH SHIT. It's the singer I really like!

 

[Axver]

The singer is female, by the way.

And actually no I don't want to hit on her either.

There's a punchline here but I really can't even

 

[Axver]

Ian really is a dithering wreck on weed.

Well I must give credit where it's due.

You're finally out of the clos...

Wait no, good to hear, I hope it gets something interesting!

 

[Axver]

I thought of having some space cake as a dessert earlier. Why didn't I?!

 

[coolian2]

You know you could have cut that sentence two words earlier

 

[coolian2]

I'm not the only one having an iffy night?

She makes awesome music and I don't want to fuck off somebody I like personally and respect as an artist and hope to see live for many years to come.

 

[Axver]

HEY. I'm the one who's meant to insult you!

 

[Axver]

Actually I was just too busy drinking wine and forgot and now it's late. This particular space cake kicks in fairly slowly.

I wasn't suggesting anything! I hope it actually goes well

 

[coolian2]

HEY. I'm the one who's meant to insult you!

Hey I can only mark what you present to me.
