So, cool, first things first. I was on Jonesy's Jukebox a few weeks ago, if you recall. There's a podcast up now, so feel free to listen. Just click on the "4.25.08" date and you're good to go.
Y'know, having listened to the podcast, I realized that I laugh a lot. Maybe that's okay? Maybe I should be more dour? Hmmm. Something to ponder.
And I don't know, maybe you're a different person than me, but have you ever noticed that weeks will go by where nothing happens, and then all of a sudden, KER-POW! It's raining busyness.
Welcome to my life, kittens.
But it's totally fine, since most of said busyness involves concerts and books and friends, including tonight's R.E.M. show! I am so freaking excited, but I'm trying not to overuse the exclamation points. It's hard to rein in my enthusiasm, though, it really is.
But yes, R.E.M. Tonight. Hey, remember when I posted about one of my favorite songs, "Let Me In"? Well, some angelic soul captured an acoustic performance of the song in Vancouver last week.
R.E.M., "Let Me In" (live in Vancouver)
Other than crazy concert stuff, though, life is good. I hung out with my friends Dave & Dara & their son Jackson yesterday. Jackson, it needs to be said, is awesome. He likes Batman, telling me what sound a fish makes ("bubblebubblebubble") and dancing to Vampire Weekend. This song really gets him rocking out.
Vampire Weekend, "A-Punk" "Half of the ring lies here with me / But the other half’s at the bottom of the sea..."
And in case you couldn't tell from looking on the left side of my website, I'm in dire need of a trip to Amoeba. Give me more music recs, people! It's important to stay current, you know.
More tomorrow after my R.E.M. show! Wheeee!
Wow, Robin is turning into Audrey. Do you ever feel like Audrey? I mean, you wrote a book. I don't know if everyone likes books as much as music but.....you wrote a book! But yeah, I think it's better to have laughed a lot rather than not of laughed at all. I hate it when stars get interviewed and they're so self-conscious that they don't say anything interesting. It's like talking to cardboard ("Yeah, I wrote it-*cough*, yeah, basically, you know..., etc.) Seriously, *Cough* was basically the most interesting part of the whole conversation.
