well, that could have gone better

went to see Cary Brothers and KT Tunstall. Cary was alright, I had only heard 'blue eyes' off the 'Garden State' soundtrack, which he sang. But his other stuff was just alright. [livejournal.com profile] jimithingy said his microphone was crap, which was screwin him a bit, couldn't handle his voice.

I have to say, I'm not very fond of Ramshead as venues go. I've been to so many superior venues that Ramshead just upsets me. Mostly because they have those damn waiters running around during so much of it. And the room is just built weird. Plus, you end up sitting with people you do not know because of the table set up, which weirds me out. We have two nice couples with us, though the one guy kept wanting to show off is iPod Video, to the point of showing us the Today show clip of the girl that was about to play. We mocked him on the way home.

Anyway, so this KT Tunstall chick. [livejournal.com profile] dstntp1lgr1m has sent me her MySpace page which had a clip of her on some british tv show doing a song. It was here all alone on stage, armed with a guitar, a tambourine, and some looping petals. It was pretty darn cool, so I was excited to see her perform. But when we got to Ramshead, we noticed a whole lottal equipment on stage. In fact, far too much equipment - drums, guitars, keyboards....turns out, she has a band as of right now. So, the cool, independant girl that i came to see, became a lead singer backed by far too many people on stage. She has a really great voice, very Melissa Ethridge meets Norah Jones - husky. And her tunes were fun, but the band was just annoying when you come to see someone perform solo. Soooo I'm downloading her album now to hear what it sounds like. I mean, she just beat out U2 and Coldplay in the british version of the grammys so she's gotta be good! Right?

okay, back to screaming at the oscars with [livejournal.com profile] spitefairy

Yeah, she's Ani. She's her own show. :p Man, i'd love to see HER in concert! Now that I have a fish I keep remembering that song Little Plastic Castle...they say goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine and the little plastic castle is a surprise every time :)
