Perhaps I am not destined to catch Caribou perform live. Ive missed him twice in two years although the first time wasn’t really my fault perse. When he came during the “Andorra” tour, I wasn’t familiar with his music. I remember going to the “Black Mountain” gig and seeing the poster for the Caribou concert. I didnt think much of it since I didnt even know who he was. Couple of months later, after having listened to what I would describe as a perfect discography, I was angry at myself for not having discovered him earlier because I would have definitely attended that first show back when Andorra was released. Every time I would watch one his youtube clips online or listen to his music, I would imagine how great it would be to experience his music live. I told myself that I wouldn’t miss him live next time. Flash forward to April 2010 when I was planning my India trip. I knew I wanted to go to India for at-least two months (May and June) since I was going there after eight long years ( I ended up staying there for three months ). Unfortunately the Caribou gig took place while I was India.
Now there are several things I missed while I was in India : my mom, my sister, my records, the excitement of new music leaks etc etc but if there was one thing that I truly regret is missing that Caribou concert. I comfort myself with this clip and a hope that I can catch his show next time.
