Thoughts About Phoenix And Bankrupt!
By Mary (from Argentina)
First of all I think I have to introduce myself. My name is Maria (my nickname is Mary), I'm 32 years old, and I'm from Argentina. I live in Buenos Aires. I know that for lots of people I live too far away, but here at the end of the world I have two passions: Sofia Coppola and Phoenix.
About Phoenix And Bankrupt!:
First thing I have to tell; I met Phoenix thanks to Sofia, that's the truth. I met Phoenix in 2007, the first song I heard from them was "Long distance call", and I remember that since that moment I became a big fan of the fabulous Phoenix. The second song I heard was "Rally" and I have to say that I love this song. Phoenix surprised me from the first moment I heard them, I have all their CDs, from United to Bankrupt!.
In 2007, I was at the first show that Phoenix gave in Argentina at La Trastienda Club in Buenos Aires on 9 December 2007. I was in the front row, it was so cool, I have photographs. After the show, the band came to talk with the fans and I met them in person, I have autographs, and I'm really happy to be someone who talked with them. Thomas, Deck, Branco and Chris are so friendly, really cool people.
In 2010 I was at the second show that the band gave in Argentina at the Hot Festival at Costanera Sur in Buenos Aires on 19 November 2010, again I was in the front row. Well I think I'm a lucky person. Really lucky one. Sometimes my friends say to me: "Which Phoenix album is the best one?" and my answer is: "All, every single album of Phoenix is a whole new experience to hear." I think each album sounds different, I like all of them, all of their work is so beautiful.
What do I like from Bankrupt!? I think it's the style, I like all of the songs, but my favorites are: "Entertainment," "The Real Thing," "S.O.S in Bel Air," "Trying to be Cool," "Drakkar Noir," "Chloroform," and "Don't." Bankrupt! is a real pice of art, I think the band is always searching for something that sounds original and cool. I love all their albums, I swear. Bankrupt! is a real jewel, every song has it own universe, its own story.
Phoenix has lots of fans in Argentina, in every show they gave here there was a crowd seeing them. I really hope that they'll come again. Personally I want to be again at a Phoenix show, their concerts are so cool. Me and of course all their Argentinian fans will be expecting them. I have many more things to say about Phoenix and of course as a fan of Sofia I have lots of things I want to say about her. I hope you will like my thoughts about Phoenix.
