Yaaay!! Congrats! Have a great time!! Have you seen TK before? Lol, those bananas are great, that's exactly how one looks when buying a gig ticket I mean, I know I do.. Lol, obviously if they were coming to Poland I wouldn't miss out on it no matter how big the venue would be Hmm, it is big but 22 euro is a really good price. There's still a little tiny chance I'll manage to go to Paris. If that doesn't happen then I guess I'm gonna put a new date in my diary, June 7th

Oh my, I wouldn't like to let Slovenia down but just found out that the venue will be the Hippodrome!! It's massive! Which is great and terrible at the same time. Argh, decisions

I like ABBA so much! My dad feels very sentimental about their music so it's kind of always been there. It's so cheerful and positive. Also I don't think they get enough credit for the lyrics, some of them are really good. So yeah, I've always liked their music but ever since my sister moved to Sweden and I've spent a lot of time there I react to Swedish things more or less like I react to Polish things. I feel partly Swedish hehe. So ABBA is like my family's thing if you know what I mean. I saw Alice posted the link to the Mamma Mia thread. I loved it! The movie that is, haven't looked at the thread yet I saw it like three times with my sisters and by the third we were singing and dancing. It's that kind of movie that makes you appreciate your life and enjoy it even when there may seem like there's not much to be happy about. It's about the affirmation of life and looking at the bright side. It's something I'm trying to do every day cause well, to put it simply, it's better to be happy than unhappy imo I'll tell you a secret connected to Mamma Mia. My siblings and I have this new annual tradition of going on summer holidays together on our big bdays. This year it'll be my sister's 30th bday. So we're taking this trip and we've got this idea of going to a club on her bday and the three of us (my other two sisters and I) will sing Dancing Queen to her at midnight We all loved the movie so we'll be prepared, we'll design our costumes and have them made, we'll learn the routine you see at the end of the movie, luckily it's not very complicated. It'll be so embarassing and fun! Lol, I know it's boring but I'm so excited about the idea, I can't believe I have to wait 5 months before we do it

Yes please! Thank you Now that I know it's a regular gig I'm really tempted to go! I wonder how big the venue will be. I wish I could go to Paris, Zenith's capacity is around 6,000 I think Oh well, Slovenia here I come?

Thanks for the link! I used my personnal favourite that is google translator and it seems like the gig's a fact, don't think there'll be a need of kicking anyone I'm still not 100% sure about one thing though. Is this a regular gig or a part of a festival? This is looking good, I was planning a weekend break in June anyway!

Oh, completely understandable annabelle Actually, as the Verona gig is not happening for me, I started thinking about yours.. I've never been to Slovenia before, I'd love to go there. But I cannot find the gig in their schedule, is it confirmed? Do you know the exact date? I'd be really grateful for any info

I know.. But as you can imagine even having heard it I'd still look VERY forward to any future gigs I actually just almost bought a ticket to the new Verona gig in a presale. The venue is But it seems to be popular with the Victims and my seat would be #399 row 4. So that's a no I think. If I was to spend 50 pounds on a ticket and probably 150 more on travel/hotel expenses than I'd really prefer a better spot.. I'd actually prefer to go to Paris cause Zenith seems so small compared to the O2 Arena. But money is an issue here. One ticket alone costs around 130 pounds:boxed: And I've got to be careful with my spendings cause I'm planning to go to Thailand in September. Man it sucks not being rich I'd so love to have a new gig ahead of me.. And last thing, I tried to upload the videos to yt but Rafa, my computer, is old and stubborn and he won't let me do it I'll probably have to wait till I go home for holidays in late March. Oh, and here's the Verona venue btw: How amazing is that??

Ok, about the front.. Going to a non Mika gig made me realize just how ridiculous we are when queueing for his gigs. I mean, I always kind of knew it was insane but it hit me now I guess. I was initially planning to go to the O2 as soon as I wake up. But I woke up late and instead of getting stressed out about it I decided that because I waited so long for it and it's such a huge deal for me, I'm just gonna enjoy the day. So I took a long shower, had a nice breakfast with my sister, took time to put some make-up on and then went to the O2. I got there at 1pm I think and was expecting hundreds of people. They're The Killers, it's O2, it's London. London loves TK, O2 is big. THERE WAS NO-ONE THERE!!! I mean, there were lots of people in the Arena but none for TK yet! I was shocked. AND the queueing was inside. No rain, no freezing your feet and other valuable body parts. I sat down on a bench and started reading. Two hours later I noticed that people started queueing and I'm sitting on a bench like a moron. So I joined the queue and was about 15th person there. At 3pm. In London. In o2. I'm boring, I know but a year ago when I came to Brixton to see Mika I arrived at 12 and I was 95th!! In freaking small Brixton! I've seen you talking about the queueing and the seating venues Sara and I'm with you on that. I prefer standing venues so ideally people should just start showing up at reasonable time. But I think it's only gonna get worse Yes, I remember you saying you bought seating tickets. I think if you've tried buying standing ones you'd just end up with nothing, like me. They sold out so fast.. I was gutted not being able to see them on Monday. I stayed home and kept moaning all day long.. So I can't really compare it to Tuesday but I do prefer T's setlist. Sweet Talk Did they play Smile Like You Mean It on Monday? The acoustic version on piano with the violin. It blew my mind!! I've just came back from Katy Perry in Koko so didn't have a chance to upload the vids, will do it tomorrow. And I've decided to embrace my irritating manner of screaming and just get over it so there will be like 12 vids akshually... Thank you. I have yet to hear Neon Tiger though I know what you mean. There aren't many good concerts in Poland so I always had to travel a lot to see my favourite bands.. It's great you'll see TK, I'm sure you'll have a great time! Thanks a lot for the link. Awww, they really are not the best interview materials, are they?.. So they just added two dates! Great, I think there'll be more. Actually I've read yesterday that they're planning to tour till mid 2010 and then take a break. Quite a long one. Good for them I think. I just need to make sure I see them again before they disappear for two years or so...

I saw them yesterday! And not only was that the best TK gig I've ever seen, it was THE BEST CONCERT I'VE EVER BEEN TO. I'm speechless. I dunno what happened to them but they were ON FIRE. Screaming and jumping, ahh the energy was ridiculous!! I've had a looong day at work today so I won't get into details now but O.M.G... It was worth EVERY SINGLE penny I paid for the ticket. And I paid A LOT. They got so expensive on ebay I only managed to go to the Tuesday gig. But I'm already planning a little trip to Paris in March I mean, it's like two hours from here, it took me two hours to come back home from work today cause I got a little lost.. Stupid London Anyway, just wanted to share my happiness I was in the middle of the front row AND they changed the setlist for the Tuesday gig. They played Sweet Talk!!!!! I was sure I'll never be lucky enough to hear it live. It wasn't until I got home that I've realized they didn't play Neon Tiger. And I was like But I guess it's a motivation to see them in March. OMG... I feel like screaming. The only thing is that I've got those really amazing vids and I'm too embarassed to put them on yt cause at times you can only hear me screaming. I sound as if I was being tortured My sister was like 'Omg, where the people pushing you?' and i said 'No.. This is how I sound when I'm having fun'... Honestly, those were one of the best hours of my life I love The Killers. I just wish Mika didn't spoil me like he did. I would give A LOT to be able to talk to them yesterday and thank them... It was so weird to just go home without speaking to them like we always do with Mika.. Ok, gotta go to sleep. Just... I love The Killers..

Great pics Fanny, especially the middle one, he's blinking The last one is from Any Other World, isn't it? It wasn't my best Mika gig but it definately was the best AOW I've ever heard. And when I went home for Christmas and made my whole family watch the PDP dvd with me, two of my three sisters actually cried. 3 non Mika fans, two of them crying, I'd call that a success

The choir one. Definately the one with the choir

No.. I wish I did. My sister lives in Sweden and I'd visit her every summer. I only know how to say tack så mycket and rea Yes I know.. I was actually trying to come up with a better example but then I thought that no one would point that out. I should know better I feel like a freak.. To my defence though I play it and then go on to do other things so I only listen to it most of the times. Now that I think about it though, I don't know if it makes things better

Closer than ever but not close enough.. And I only have a week left I'll think of something for sure but it's annoying not having them yet.. Whoever got the idea that one has to pay rent is a moron

that's cause my mfc obsession comes and goes just like that. i only started posting about half a year after i joined. and by 'started posting' i mean 'spending most of my time glued to the screen'. then i went away for 3 weeks during the summer and after that i would only pop in from time to time. i guess i just needed a new era to bring me back Yes, it's all about knowing the right people Done I guess in a great deal it depends on the new record. At times I feel like he's not really the U2 type, to go around the world and play dozens of stadium gigs and things's won't change that much. But then again, I also think that you never know.. Same here, and after the 50th I started paying attention to Luke. And I must say he really is an amusing supporting act of the video Tack så mycket

Lol... I guessed 38 Congrats to the winner!

LMAO :roftl:

I just finished reading the thread. I don't think I've EVER read a thread that long in one sitting. But I loved every minute I saw the video yesterday. My sister saw it on perez and nearly killed me when she asked me if I've seen a new Mika video with new Mika music. I inhaled a large sip of tea. Not very nice. More like near death experience I was so surprised at how emotional my reaction was. She had to hold my hand because I started crying. How embarassing it that?? It's just that I felt this huge relief. For me, it'd probably be better if the new record wasn't very successful. I'm teriffied at the thought of stadium gigs, sold out tickets and huge queues. BUT as a result of being his fan for nearly two years, I really care and I really wish him all the best. His succes would make my life harder but it would also make me very very happy. And having heard the bits of new songs I'm not as stressed out as I used to be. Also, I loved seeing him so happy and excited.. It also feels great to be here on MFC again. Seeing all of you reacting the same way as I did, well it made me feel sane again. And I'm seeing so many new people and I'm like when did that happen? I'm back, I'm so back. I nearly forgot how great and funny and sweet you all are. I kept laughing like a mental person while reading the thread. I love MFC About the music. I love what he did with Rain. I liked it before because I kinda felt it had potential. Now I love it. I played the video couple of times in the morning and then people I share house with kept singing it not knowing what it is It's gonna be a hit! The choir sounds phenomenal. And when I read the lyrics, it just killed me. The atmosphere of the music combined with 'when you're young and you want some'.. I mean, no one does Mika like Mika I think it was Caz who said 400 pages ago that it feels like a New Mika Era. Well, it certainly does for me.. And I've got a feeling it's gonna be great. Living in London, no longer beeing a student who's broke most of the times, that's gonna make things just a little bit easier.. Just give me some dates!!

oh, ok. thank you for clearing that up for me. that was quick Heehe.. Yet? I'm currently reading the Go to Mikasounds thread. I've been reading it for like 3 hours now. And I saw babs mentioning the gig and i was like WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT????????? A GIG?????? So hearing the new music and feeling all the excitement here, being back here on the MFC, well it all just feels GOOD. Plus that 'yet'... I love MFC.. I love Mika..

http://www.ticketmaster.ie/Mika-tickets/artist/950322 I can't see it anymore. Did I miss something? Did I not look properly? I only read the first and the last page of the thread, maybe that's the thing.. Man, and just when I got hyperexcited...

just sent my answer. i love how random the question is

this is amazing! so nice! my sister is sitting next to me and told me to let you know that being a non-mikafan, so as objective as a person can be, she loves the pages

Hehe, thanks! First time i won anything, all of my neighbours could hear me screaming Funny, I was talking the other day with my sister and I said that there's this girl who just bought all of TK records, and how great it must be to discover all of the music for the first time In fact yesterday I found a song I didn't know, it's an Itunes bonus. It's called Tidal Wave, here's the link: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GTYZMWdPDpg It was exciting to be able to hear sth new, I thought I'd have to wait until the next album.. Oh, and thanks a lot for the links!! Will watch them in a second Me too, can't wait to have them lying safely on my shelf... I know right! And congrats on that friend A little part if me is just a little bit jealous but mostly I'm really really happy for you

Same here... When London tickets went on sale they were sold out before I managed to type my surname I checked ebay for Cardiff tickets, here's what they've got: http://tickets.shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38.l1313&_nkw=the+killers+cardiff&_sacat=11730 They're at least twice as expensive of course.. When are you seeing them babz? And about my London gigs, there's a light in the tunnel! I won 100 pounds on the Capital Radio today! I didn't win the tickets but guess what I'm gonna spend that money on

Thanks a lot! I will.. I probably should've kept that crying part to myself, sounds as if i was mental But i'm sure you get it. I love Mika and all the wonderful sillyness of Mika World. I also like lots of different musicians. But eversince I saw The Killers for the first time, in Poland in 2005, they're my number one. And it's so frustrating that it gets harder and harder for me to see them. ugh.. It'd be great if you could upload your vids and post the links. I'd love to see them! I have to say I'm a bit disappointed to see they're not playing Sweet Talk. I was so happy they played it at the RAH gig, thought it meant they made it a part of the regular show. I'd love to hear it live. Could easily trade it for Shadowplay... Btw, what kind of ticket did you have? Sitting or standing? I'm wondering which one to search for.. Obviously standing one would be perfect but the gigs are on Monday and Tuesday, working days are not the best for queueing. On the other hand, sitting ones are cheaper and it has to be nice not having to queue. To be honest, I've never had a sitting ticket so I'm wondering. Hi! Welcome! And thanks a lot!

They opened with Spaceman????? Spaceman is my fav from D&A Have you seen the video? it's soooo great and weird.. They played ST with Brandon on the piano???? When I got to the part about Neon Tiger i lost it and started crying. I think it's the one i can't wait to hear live most. The part starting with "I don't wanna be kept, i don't wanna be caged" gives me chills EVERY time i hear it, i can't even imagine how it will sound live I'm now in a state of constant panic. Capital Radio is giving away tickets today and tomorrow and i'm now waiting for Somebody Told Me to be played to call them. I'm planning to see both London gigs. I'd also like to see them in Germany in March. But dunno about that yet. But i have to manage somehow to see them here in London. i simply cannot imagine spending the evening at home knowing they're playing in the same city... Ok, i should go and focus, the tickets won't win themselves Though the chances are slim to none, the lines are busy all the time.. But who knows. Thanks again for your report, i loved it! And I almost forgot, that shirt sounds lovely! Ok, it's ridiculous. My sister called when the song just before STM was finishing and the lines were already busy. I dialed the second STM started and it was the same. Jeeeez... Anyway, here's the video in case you haven't seen it: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=IY6tgC_g5nI And now i'm waiting for Spaceman, fingers crossed Make sure you do! And don't forget about Sawdust, there're some good songs there. Sweet Talk
