The El Rey Theater March 25, 2010:
side note to preface: probably the only other time that i wish i was in the womb of another other than back in my own mother's. surround sound seven point one probably cannot compare to the sound of being inside the womb. constant lullably echos between sleeping and whatever an unborn baby does inside the womb (ponders on the philosophy of the contradictions of technology in an eastern civilization?).
The Living Sisters: Inara George (The Bird and the Bee and the pregnant one), Eleni Mandel and Becky Stark. their songs are sweet and something i will have on "while i sleep and dream about tomorrow" playlist. Their current album: Love to Live. Their must listen to: "You Make Me Blue."
not to be confused w/ The Chapin Sisters who i saw at an Amoeba in-store show about two years ago. american folk pop who actually are sisters i can only remember the "mom jeans" they were sporting for the show. coincidentally, they had opened for she & him and it looks like again in april at the glass house. Their latest 2008 album: Lake Bottom LP. Their must listen to: Don't Love You. take a listen to The Smith's cover, "I Know It's Over." *trivial trivia: one of the sisters is actually the daughter of Wes Craven (she's a half sister to the Chapin Sisters)...
no matter who you are or even who you think you are you've been heartbroken. no matter who's at fault or whatever the circumstance the end result is all the same: "O burning doubt and long regret, O tears with which our eyes are wet, Heart-throbs, heart-aches, the glut of pain, The somber cloud, the bitter rain..." sooner or later though you realize the worth of such pain. because it's part of living the life. if you're inclined to enjoy the moment as much as i do you take the good as well as the bad you have to. part of the good that makes the bad seem not as bad after all is the music. when you have the music that gets you through it you do get through it. that's what She&Him are. the good to the bad. their lyrics are that of a sad song but when the instruments and the vocals come together...you're almost glad you're going through such emotions. her cute to his sexy guitar moves it's fun to go to a She&Him concert. i hadn't planned on going but a ticket emerged out of the debts of destiny and now its probably one of the best concerts in my high school er wait i'm not in high school anymore..kinda felt like i was though..just like in high school i ended up w/ some other kids homework that i had to finish before homeroom the next day....i'm so glad i'm out of the tricky game of high school drama and in the highly professional work environment of animation. errr.
enjoy the music.
