top 7 of 2007.

Everyone has their own list of highlights from the year 2007. I've seen/read about them from tv, podcasts, blogs, etc. So, I've decided, out of pure boredom, to compile my own list ... Entitled... My top 7 of 2007! And this doesn't go in any particular order....

1. FUTURE SEX/LOVE SHOW 07. Easily, justin timberlake had to be the HOTTEST gig of the year. I'm lucky that I got to be present at all 3 shows in sydney...worked 2, went to one.

2. PUT UP YOUR HANDS & SAY, I DON'T WANNA BE IN LOVE! Yes. I must say.. This year, I've had numerous encounters with the band Good Charlotte, and it all began with NOVA on january 17th. The GC experience included exclusive gigs, MTV award shows, two concerts and an amazing group of friends who share the same interest... A love of joel, benji, billy, paul and dean!

3. FIDDLER FRIDAYS! Oh yes, the place to party on a friday night... The mean fiddler! Ok, so it may be all the way out in rouse hill, but it is tha best club venue in sydney. My fave place to party!! Had some fun times there this year, best one was my 19th with amazing friends, new & old! Can't wait for ministry of sound on NYD!

4. HOUSE PARTIES FTW! All the remaining 18th's and the 19th's plus one 21st woot woot! One in exception, mandy's 19th .... Ah hem ... Yes, that night I don't wanna bring up again!! What a shocker!

5. OCTOBER 29, 2007 = <3. The return of simple plan had to be in my list of course. How could you not see it coming?! I had to race down to the internet cafe in eastwood at like 9am just to catch the live webcast and world premiere of 'when I'm gone'..totally worth it!! The song is amazing. All throughout november/december I voted my ass for it everynight on the hot30 and nova, even sending the hot30 crew angry emails hahaha!! That even got mentioned on aiir. But all that was forgotten when the hot30 team hooked me up with Pierre via telephone and I got to speak with him one friday morning. I love the hot30 right now. I guess what sucks is that the new album won't be out til 2008. We're doin it kids!

6. THIS AINT A SCENE, ITS A GODDAMN ARMS RACE! Hahahaha. My fall out boy/pete wentz obsession was a big part of '07. Two concerts!! March 8th and sept 26th. Pete wentz is a sexy mofo... Well, that's what I thought in the beginning of 2007. But noww..ahahahaha. He's alright. Not that hott anymore LOL. Still one of my top bands tho!!

7. NEW LIFE...SORTA! Well, a new daily routine to get used to. From high school to... What do you call insearch?! Its not quite uni, not really college...but wtf?! Anywayz...yess....the whole transition from high school to tertiary life and juggling that with work...I think I did it pretty well. Only thing I regret is... I wish I saved my pennies more. =[ but yes. I like my course, tho I can't wait to finish in may '08 - I need a study break. And I love my job at acer arena..its good fun! And the pay's alright.

Well, there you have it. Tam's top 7 of 2007! See you in 2008!

Simple Plan: 12.2.2008!!

So, Simple Plan's new album cover just got released on SP.com today! All I'm gonna say is, that it looks goddamn AWESOME. =]
And, I've probably been over-analyzing this wayy too much. LOL! I can't stop looking at it!! But then again, if you were studying semiotics like me this semester, you'd probably do the same thing. Farrrrk. I need a holiday.



So, I quiite like the concept of it. It's like they've just overcome troubles in life, and altho the world seems to be a worser place, it's not. And Simple Plan will still come out better than ever, on their upcoming record. They're still the same guys as they were when they released their first record, they're just older, more mature, and have definitely grown as musicians!!

Urgh. Semiotics are killing my life. LOL!
So, there's my two cents worth.

It's an amazing album cover isn't it?!

inconsolable.

omfg! i am so keen for all these concerts in 2008, not to mention that almost half of them are occurring where i work!! it's so exciting, i would rather go than get paid for it. one i really really want to check out is happening on february 22nd!

THE BACKSTREET BOYS! =D

easily, the best ever boy band of the 90's. i was always a bsb fan. i chose them over nsync back in the day. (but hey JT is still the sexy man!) hahaha. i love nick carter too!! but i rekon they would be amazing to see live. even if there are only FOUR left. oh well. pre sales started today. gay-uhh. i need more shifts.

but i cant work more shifts, on the account i have a heavy load of assignments to do!! you know, probably like everyone else, i'm really really OVER this semester. i just want it to end soo bad!! can't wait for the xmas/new year break ... i'm going on a week-long drinking binge. AMEN TO THAT!

Bad fashion && Good music!

Do you know what I am really really hating in fashion at the moment? Well, specifically, guys' fashion.
It's ...
THOSE HIDEOUS SCARVES. ie Matt Corby && other Idol dudes this year, and most recently, the boys in Simple Plan. I think that is officially the WORST guy fashion trend ever. It's not SO HOT RIGHT NOW. In my mind, boys wearing scarves is the equivalent to girls wearing fluro baggy tops that are bought from Supre. I am so over that fluro trend, and I didn't even get into it in the first place!!

But, there is one difference here. At least, when Pierre, Chuck & Sebastien wear scarves, it looks like they still have a neck, where as with Matt Corby, he has none!! MUHAHAHA!!!

OH, and in other news, MAROON FIVE are touring AUSTRALIA next year!! oh my god and guess who is their support act?! ONEREPUBLIC!!! Oh, I love their Timbaland-produced song Apologize. =D
But guess where the Sydney show is??
ACER ARENA!!
Aaah. So many good concerts at my work next year, Hilary Duff, BON JOVI, Maroon 5. OMG. Heaven. <3 Why buy a ticket when I can get paid for listening to them sing?!
