We went down to Tacoma on Monday night to see AIR, which was melt-my-heart beautiful. We were in the second row. Air is quite possibly my favorite band ever. At least according to myLast.fm profile. But I have been in love with them for a while. I think it’s because they were sort of my “gateway drug” in high school. Like, amidst the crap I was listening to at the time it caught my attention. I was in the juniors section at Famous Barr and “Kelly watch the stars” was on the tvs. I think I just stood there and watched the entire thing. And then had to get it. Air saved me.
The opener, Kate Havnevik, was also really good. I think EVERYONE sitting around me went and picked up her CD during the break. Sort of Frou Frou + Bjork. Although I have to say listening to the CD afterwards I think she was much more impressive live. But still good.
I need more hours in my day. It’s amazing how much faster time goes when you get home at 6 rather than 3. I sort of miss those 3 hours of my life already. But the new job is going well I think. It’s nice that even though I work more hours there than I did at my last one it doesn’t feel like it when I’m there since I’ve always got stuff to do.

So have you picked up the new Charlotte Gainsbourg CD? Music by Air, Words by Jarvis Cocker, Production by Nigel “Radiohead” Godrich? It’s very good, too.
Hmm, I hadn’t heard of Charlotte Gainsbourg but it sounds good. I’ll check it out!
