Obama

Only those who speak up will be heard
Because there is such passion in each word.
Americans, no matter what your plight,
Must stand up and be counted, so you might
Achieve the things for which you have a right.

Glow In The Dark

Killed it.
Always going to enjoy a Kanye show- Nina's Facebook status update halfway through the show.
Nas was good too! Especially liked Made You Look. He had an all black/Asian rock band like Fall Out Boy or Gym Class Heroes.
You could tell that not that many people knew Kanye's new album tracks yet.
Entertaining light show. Wasn't the full Glow in the Dark tour from the Americas but still awesome. a bit Daft Punk.

Was so limber on his feet. Moved really well on stage we decided. Very athletic. Barely stopped the whole time.
Easily the best crowd reaction was Homecoming (featuring Chris Martin). bit weird?
Sophie told me he used 808's and Autotune a lot for this record because he thought they sounded like heartbreak together. I thought that was interesting. Autotune does sound a bit like a robot heartbreak.
Three outfit changes. Loved all of them. So high fashion, Kan.

I enjoyed the tracks from Graduation the most for sure. Highlights: Champion, Good Life, Can't Tell Me Nothing, Flashing Lights.
Suite 13 with lots of football players.

Didn't play Robocop but gave it his all for Welcome to Heartbreak. You could just hear it in his voice. Wow.
Acer Arena wasn't totally full. Homebaked? Connie was. Should have sung on your Kanye tracks girl!

Bag raiders were there.
Every one except him on stage (band, singers, etc.) were wearing these wiggy masks.
S**t merchandise but the T-shirts did glow in the dark.
Texting the Melbourne ladies! Best way to get over someone is to get under someone else Kan!
