i'm baaaaaaaack.
well, i really wasn't gone, per se. but i wasn't blogging...things have been hectic and weird over the past 10 days and today was the first day i actually felt halfway decent (but by no means fantastic) about myself and my life (long story). aaaaaaaaand, soooooo, that's why i am blogging about it! wahooooo!!!
this change in attitude could also have something to do with the change in the weather too. a whole day without rain?!? it's an effing miracle.
i can't even remember what i've been doing for the past week so it's not like this is going to be an exciting post. i do know that on sunday THE ryan king & i went to see elbow - one of my favourite bands of ever and all time, whom i had never seen before - who also did NOT play my favourite song ("asleep in the back" aka "the ballerina song!") which in turn broke my psychic band connection that's been holding steady for at least a dozen shows. damn. damn damn. poo.
despite the glaring omission of my fav song the show was fantastic. guy garvey's voice is so powerful and mesmerizing. oh, how i heart the elbow!
earlimart also played - first time i saw them. i coveted the keyboardist/bassist's cute vintage or vintage-inspired dress the whole time. in any event, photos from the show can be found here, in glorious technicolor.
last night, after my pre-birthday-almost-born-on-the-same-day dinner with john @ the front room (mmm, pizza & beer), i met up with willokins for the jamie liddell show @ the music hall, where i learned two things, 1) mr. liddell is apparently british, which i was unaware of; 2) i prefer singing over beat boxing. not that i don't appreciate the art of the beatbox (hello, rahzel. and of course, the human beatbox from the fat boys. disorderlies, represent! sorry for the parenthetical tangent. the end.) oh! i also learned that i don't like weird couples to grind basically right on top of me while i'm trying to enjoy the musical stylings of j. liddell. or anyone's music stylings, for that matter. please do not subject me to the horror & ickiness. okay? sheesh. thanks.
*jamie liddell is one bad ass mf'ing soul singer. and he's a bit of a kook. i liked it.
however, you should read willo's recountment of the young man who met us at the show - "jam bands" is all i will say. hahaha. i'm evil.
this weekend is my joint birthday party with the dahling, loverly, and stunning ms. hez aronson. for some reason, all my friends hate evite. either that, or i really have no friends and the party is going to be me, hez, and some $2 PBRs...either way, i'm verrrry excited to be celebrating the joy of my birth with all of mis amigos and, and, AND...i finally got danny to get his arse up here from LA to help celebrate as well. wheeee!!! birthdays are fun.
in other random news:
*josh's album the animal years FINALLY came out on tuesday!
* mr. ritter is also now one of three artists on the myspace homepage under "myspace music" - fun!
* the submarines have been getting a ton of *great* blog press all over the internets. fun fun!
