UPDATE : yb's post on the gig is up...here..
The BRIT Awards, or more commonly known as the Brits, following hotly on the heels of the recently concluded Grammys, saw the Kaiser Chiefs going home with 3 awards out of 5 nominations they garnered while Coldplay, James Blunt, and Green Day each bagged 2 Brits. For complete list of winners, go here.
Personal fav's Arcade Fire & Franz Ferdinand got 3 nominations respectively but both went home empty-handed. Arcade Fire losing to Green Day & Jack Johnson while FF lost out to the chiefs in all 3 categories they were nominated in.. not happy, but not dissatisfied either, so can't complain about the winners.
speaking of Franz Ferdinand, they performed in Singapore last nite. yoongbing went. my bro went. half of singapore went. (well, at least the cool kids).
my bro aredi told me he got tickets when he was back here during CNY, then a few days later, yb told me he got them too..jealous?? hmm..considering i knew all the lyrics by heart within a week of getting You Could Have It So Much Better, hell yeah, i was jealous..WAS..i've more or less gotten over it now, that's why i never posted about it the last couple of weeks..anyway, i had to miss 10 hours of classes if i were to make it for the gig and the only way i could get out of that is if HELP burned down and S$88 magically materialised in my wallet and my mother had so bad a headache from work she didn't realise i was gone for 2days....
*sigh* just hope i get to watch a FF concert before my time is up...think i'll add that to my list on 43 things.
eagerly awaiting yb's update n hopefully some pics of the concert that missed me.
mp3s:
Kaiser Chiefs - Oh My God (best song on the album IMHO)
KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See
(Winner of Best British Female Artist category)
