tenfeethigh at 09:58pm on 14/08/2008 under alanis, best summer ever, buba, kylie, lani, the wombatsSziget festival was great yesterday! I SAW ALANIS LIVE! (But more on that later.) Firstly:
It says Greetings from the island (sziget=island) in Hungarian. And that's me, Lani and Buba in the picture.
Of course we got there much earlier than 19:45 (when the Alanis-concert started) and we walked all around the island. (I'm sorry if I wasn't very clear, this is an annual one-week festival held on an island on the Danube.)
By 17:00 we were a bit tired of walking around so we sat down a little and made this beautiful picture. :D (And many others with a real camera which I'm gonna post when Lani finally uploads them somewhere.)
And by 18:00 we were tired of sitting and I wanted to see/hear them anyways, so we went to the FLOGGING MOLLY concert. It was amazing! Yeah, it was great to dance in the crowd to fucking Irish punk-rock! :D Well, the biggest (and drunkest) fans were constantly dropping half-full cups of beer to us but who cares.
The problem is, I have been to four big concerts in the 18 years of my life and The They-Did-Not-Play-My-Favourite-Song Problem was always there as well:
*from the album on tour
So, Dear Wombats! If you do not play LET'S DANCE TO JOY DIVISON on Sunday I'm gonna be REALLY REALLY UPSET. Got that?

And now... ALANIS.
*drumbeat*
It was awesome. It was awesome, even if the sound technician must have been a three-year-old cause (s)he didn't do a very good job. (Well, did an AWFUL job, to be honest.) Whatever, that wouldn't have been a problem. But.
SHE DIDN'T PLAY MY MOST FAVOURITEST (yes, I know it's not a real word) songs. Yeah. No Straitjacket and Not As We. And she only sang FOUR (yes, 4) tracks from her new album.
It was still great, but please, don't call this gig then a part of the Flavors of Entanglement Tour. (Cause they DID call it that.)

| CONCERT | FAVOURITE SONG(S)* | DID THEY PLAY THEM? |
| The Corrs: Borrowed Heaven Tour | Baby Be Brave | It was the intro song. Which means thes DID NOT actually play it. |
| Anastacia: Live At Last | Left Outside Alone, I Do, Where Do I Belong | Okay, she did sing LOA cause it was a single. And I Do, which is great. But I really wanted to hear WDIB live cause it may be the bestest of all. |
| Kylie: KylieX2008 | Speakerphone, Cosmic | Speakerphone was the intro but it wasn't like at the Corrs concert, she sang it all and it was awesome. But my dear Cosmic, where were you? |
| Alanis: Flavors of Entanglement Tour | Straitjacket, Not As We | HELL NO. (See above.) |
So, Dear Wombats! If you do not play LET'S DANCE TO JOY DIVISON on Sunday I'm gonna be REALLY REALLY UPSET. Got that?
