My Phone Now Has The Same Message Notification Tone as Vespa from Casino Royale

ha ha yes!!! i'm not exactly sure what kind of phone she had, but i think it's somewhat similar. I now own a blackberry pearl and it makes me happy. I've been playing around with it for about the last 24 hours. It's a second hand one so i had to wipe the memory. But i can't sync it to my mac book and i can't transfer things from my old phone. It makes me sad since all my jenny lewis stuff from the concert is on there.

SPEAKING of Jenny Lewis, she was AMAZING on monday night. I drove all the way to Pomona for it, but it was actually a fairly easy drive and Pomona is way nicer than mum said it would be. They have this area called Antique Row, which is right across the street from the Glass House. I was expecting some huge concert hall, but it only holds no more than 800 people. I walked into this little bookshop across from the glass house before getting in line, and this lady in there has cd's from almost all the artists that have played at the Glass House.

We got to watch this 45 minute film called "welcome to Van Nuys". And it was a documentary on the making on Acid Tongue in 2008. And i had no idea she was from the valley. It made me happy, but i don't now why cuz it's not like i'll be running into her all the time or that she even lives here, ha ha.  There was an opening band called DAWES... and they were ok, but i felt really nauseous because i hadn't eaten in a while and had been standing for quite some time. So that might have affected my judgement. I thought their bassist was really good but i couldn't stop looking at the drummer who made the weirdest faces while drumming. Like kids make when something is horribly smelly and i can't even describe it, but his face made me laugh.

But the main point of this is Jenny Lewis. And she was amazing. This is the first time i've seen her in person and she is so cute and lovely and pretty. And very sweet. She did a cover and a mix of songs off of Rabbit Fur Coat and some off of Acid tongue. She also did 2 or 3 from Rilo Kiley which made me excited because it meant she did Silver Lining. And I actually cried during Under the Blacklight. Not for the lyrics but the way she sang it and she explained the story behind it being a friend of hers. She also did You are what you love and that was just enough to make the 2 hour drive to Pomona worth it. I'm trying to recall all the songs she did. It was about 90 minutes she was performing which i would say is a little longer than most acts usually go on for. I only didn't know about 3 songs ( the cover and 2 others)

Acid tongue

Pretty Bird

Next Messiah

Bad Man's World

See Fernando 

Godspeed

Carpetbaggers

Trying my best to love you

Jack Killed Mom

Melt you Heart

Rabbit Fur Coat ( she actually forgot the words in the second verse, and ended up skipping to the next verse after a minute. She was embarrassed but it was really cute i thought)

Rise up with fists ( this was part of the encore at the end of the show)

Happy (also encore)

You are what you love

The charging sky

From Rilo Kiley

Silver Lining

Under the Blacklight

anyway... since a Rilo Kiley or Jenny Lewis song would just be expected, i decided to pick...

An Attempt to Tip The Scales - Bright Eyes

Did you expect it all to stop at the wave of your hand?
Like the sun's just going to drop if it's night you demand.
Well, in the dark we're just air so the house might dissolve.
But once we are gone, who's gonna care if we were ever here at all?
Well, summer's going to come, it's gonna cloud our eyes again.
No need to focus when there's nothing that's worth seeing.
So we trade liquor for blood in an attempt to tip the scales.
I think you lost what you loved in that mess of details.
They seemed so important at the time
but now you can't even recall any of the names, faces, or lines.
It's more the feeling of it all.
Well, winter is going to end, I'm going to clean these veins again.
So close to dying that I finally can start living.
