Currently Listening Life In Slow Motion By David Gray see related

Hi!

Its been a week. A long, fun, adventurous week that was needed to... excite myself? recharge my batteries? unwind? Whatever the right, specific reason, I needed something to cut myself loose and prepare for opening day, next wednesday, the first day of my temporary life as a multitasking and juggling student/student-teacher/office worker.

The highlight? Yesterday's Coldplay concert! In the two years since their last visit, the band has taken a lot of visual/aureal cues from stadium fillers like U2 (who they fully express their desire to become) combining their already catchy and sometimes headbopping while other times gutwrenchingly beautiful/honest lyrics to another level. A three-song acoustic set in-between is reminiscent of another big band. Running up to the upper-tier seats at Shoreline (this IS a big venue, mind you!) and singing with the crowd during "in my place" was unforgettable. Brad Kava, our town's local rock critic, wrote an incredible article that details the show much more articulately than I can ever here. If you're reading this (maybe Robyn), thanks Robyn, Mike, and Jessica for being fans and coming along! Great music accompanied by great company and great food is the perfect mix! You know you've had a great time at something if the next day you're basically reliving the night before in your head... all day.
