I assume they mean the 1970's. EVERYTHING BY ABBA THAT CAME OUT IN THE 70S.
Does that mean I have to pick out my favorite ABBA song?

The best one for karaoke was chosen.

30 day song challenge - Day 1
Since it's been annoying everyone on instagram, I wanted to participate without throwing it in everyone's face every day, for 30 days.
SO, announcing my return to the blog after seven years, while we're all stuck in quarantine, I present to you, my non-readers, my 30 day song challenge.
Starting with
Day 1: A Song You Like With A Color In The Title
The first thing that popped in my head is literally called 'Blue Song' by Mint Royale. I was introduced to it through the Mighty Boosh, who appear in the music video. Enjoy.
Edit: I saw Electric Guest after 8 years, in February <3 p="">

I'm trying to learn...
Listening to cheesy, modern greek music is the attempt I make to learn greek, the cheap way.

The Killers
So,
I saw my most favorite band ever for the second time tonight (last time was SIX YEARS AGO when I was in the front row and it was oh so so magical). This time had its magical moments mixed in with annoying crowds of people.
It was a radio show with various other bands (cake!) and the killers as headliners. So all types of sewer creatures crawled onto the land for this gig therefore they weren't as respectful as most killers fans are to one another (as I have found out from the one gig as well as way too much time on the message boards).
When bad religion was on stage (the band before cake, which were before las killahs), I saw mr ronniekins backstage watching and I had a mini attack. All of those fan obsessed years came back to me.
The beginning of the show was not as amazing as I know it could've been. Plus they started with JWAFOM (really!?, why are they STILL playing this song as part of their setlist). Then they went into mr. brightside which caused a riot shitshow, as I was 3-4 people from the front on mark's side of the stage as the dumbs decided to mosh or attempt to mosh and I was not having it. You don't do that to the killers, you jump, wave your hands, and sing along with these dooblies. No moshing. Or maybe I'm an old bat now, but whatever, no moshing.
They only played 3 battleborn songs (was REALLY hoping for more, that album is so gorgeous) They played 3-5 songs from each of the first 3 albums plus shadowplay, and then the 3 from battleborn, all mixed together of course. I'm really wishing for one day to have them play the whole murder trilogy live in front of my face. that would be DIVINE. oy.
From the last time I saw them and have listened to their live setlists from other shows, they have definitely changed the way they perform. And of course they should since playing live for several months a year would get boring if they kept it the same. But some of the little things brandy added to the songs that I got used to hearing live, are no more. Alas, I will survive hahaha.
Brandy is so lively and into the crowd more with singalongs, more so than before. It was almost half the songs he tried to get the crowd to singalong. I mean, this isn't the UK, we're not crazy awesome audiences like they are.
And the confetti that they sprayed was little red K's and silver lightening bolts!!! so adorable (of course I grabbed some.........).
Songs:
JWAFOM
Mr.B
SLYMI
STM
ATTTID (confetti time!)
FIVE SONGS FROM HOT FUSS!?!?!?! I was expecting 5 battleborn ones. CMONNNNNNN
Read My Mind
When You Were Young
For Reasons Unknown (I immediately knew this song was coming when brandy grabbed the bass)
Human
Spaceman
Dustland Fairytale (wow, so good live, really understood the lyrics even clearer than before because of that)
Shadowplay
Runaways
From Here on Out (not a lot of the crowd knew this or the rest of the battleborn songs)
Miss Atomic Bomb
OH and because of the location (or not) they played a little bit of a cover of "get back" loved it.
Mr mark has gotten so suave, as I was on his side of the stage, I noticed. Good hair, mark.
Davey still kicks ass
and Ronnie still steals hearts.
Also good to know that Ted is still around, creepin from deep onstage.
