Notes:
I’m having to go backwards a bit editing this story, which is a drag, but thankfully not as far back to the drawing board as SM.
Got the three aforementioned albums together on a shuffling playlist. Incongruous, but created some adolescent, angsty pacing, which helped with this story. I did wish the Coldplay was better, but whatever. Keane supplies the necessary soul-dripping; Grandaddy just good.

The first concert I ever missed was in fact Coldplay (after 'Parachutes') with Grandaddy opening, many years ago. I'd actually gotten the tickets because I wanted to see Grandaddy. Alas, a missed opportunity that ne’er shall come again. Also, more great cat-themed album art.
