so jiddy and some of her friends and i saw mum tonight! wowwwww! it was so cool! i've been so into mum since freshman yr and it was wonderful to see them in concert. god they are an adorable bunch. they all look so nice. and icelandic. and funny. the show was in a church on 60th and columbus, amaaazing venue for the music. if you want to get an idea of what they played, listen to "moon pulls" from the newest album. IT'S SO GOOD! imagine that in a huge dark church. it was kinda spooky, beautiful and great. apparently the icelandic ambassador was in the crowd. it was painfully cute everytime the band spoke: "eh...we playd a song about a boat, and then we play song about water, and now we'll play a song.. well it's about something so silly i don't know what to say."
and then at the end, their guitarist, who had been kind of lurking in the back of the stage, came forward towards the very front and just kind of stood there. and then one of his bandmates was like "i think robert thinks we are being far too serious and wants to tell a joke" and then he just stood there, and after about 10 seconds lifted up his ankle with one hand and proceeded to "jump" through it.. you know, like jumprope with your arm and leg? TWICE. and then just silently walked back. HAHAHA.
the vocalists for mum have the prettiest voices i've ever heard, and the most powerful. the super blonde boy cut girl was like stunningly amazing. i could listen to her sing all day. enough to give you shivers. also the guy.
