Carol's Top five concerts

TOP STORY (not to be confused with toy story): A dramatic adjustment has been made to 'Carol's Top Five concerts' after a fantasmic concert last night. Most notable is a new number one: franz ferdinand/ death cab for cutie has been knocked out of the number one spot and has been replaced by... Bedouin Soundclash/ Matt Costa/ Saint Alvia Cartel.

1. Bedouin Soundclash/ Matt Costa/ Saint Alvia Cartel, Starlite Room, Edmonton, December 7, 2007. Why? Front row, and my sister and I discovered how down to earth 2/3rds of the band was (we only met two of the three after the show)

2. Franz Ferdinand/ Death Cab for Cutie, Shaw Conference Center, Edmonton, April 25, 2006. Why? the band randomly drumming the drums at the end of the show and the fact a good friend put me on her shoulders for one of the songs :)

3. Hawksley Workman, McDougall United Church, Edmonton, March 10, 2007. Why? The sex noises and random swears in a church is quite comical...

4. Built to spill, National, Montreal, 12 juillet 2007. Pourquoi? Because this was the day I decided to get off my ass and not fall into the deadly trap of jetleg from beijing; pick a random concert; find someone random to go with; and just giver. plus there were random art work on a slideshow behind the band during the show :)

5. undecided: pk14 in beijing, the drunken shenanigans from the duhks in calgary, the sweaty sam roberts in the starlite room, hey ocean in montreal, the police in montreal - it probably is the police, because we had side front row seats and purchased $100 tix for only $50...and we were so close we saw detailed the tight emo pants sting was wearing.

This post is dedicated High fidelity, recently visited and reminisced about.

Now to start my coop report about my "career goals" due in a week. Am I ready to BS my way through something? I'm not comfortable lying... weather written or verbal (which reminds me, we recently volunteered for festival of trees and i was manning the santa claus den, children were asking if that was the real santa... I lied ALOT during those 4 hours of my life - I hope i did not scar anyone for life!).
