Once upon a time, there was a magical man named Wally. He created the most amazing music hiding away in his hotel rooms, with old records, a laptop, the most random assortment of any instrument he could get his hands on, and of course his most wonderful voice.
And so Gotye was created.

On Sunday night I headed out on the town with miss Sally to the forum. I had never been to this venue before, and i fell in love. It's roof is painted like the night sky (and of course the nerd in me went straight to harry potter It's bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it, in "Hogwarts: A History.")
Anyway, as much as i love Harry, its completely off topic.
I have seen Gotye play several times before, and Wally play even more with his band the basics. sure, there may have been some 18 year old band stalking going on with me, Sally, and a few others, but really it was ok because we became friends with the band (thanks to sally and her bonding over the red headed gene via myspace!)
It's been a few years since I had seen Gotye play, and he really didn't disappoint. I fell in love with him and his music all over again. He told us he was battling a chest infection on the night, and you really couldn't tell. his voice was as eargasmic as always, and he put 110% into his performance. There was animations and lights and instruments galore, and he was amazing and down to earth with the audience.
All I can say is that Wally, you amaze me :)
And this song never ceases to make me want to get up and have a bit of a boogy (which is currently gaining me strange looks as I am in the library at uni, with my bright blue ear phones procrastinating over assignments yet to be completed. Nope, stuff those, Wally takes precedent! aaaaaaand cue boogy!)
Have a listen for yourself, and get those hips a shakin!
Much love, Ruby xox
woop woop!! *boogies down*
