Woohoo!!! I'm 19!!! ::bigGrin::

What a great summer for concerts. I saw DMB twice in NY, I'm going to see John Mayer and Maroon 5 in a week, and yesterday I saw Barenaked Ladies and Alanis Morisette give a rockin' concert at the Mann Center in Philly.

Now I've always liked BNL, Stunt is one of the few CDs that I own that I can acutally listen to all the way through. Seeing them in concert has given me a new found likeness for them though. They are just such great performers! Not to mention that they are all freaking hilarious. From their antics on stage to the short animated clips that they showed inbetween songs... they are just a great band to see in concert.

Since BNL and Alanis are co-headlining this tour, they take turns closings, and and the show I went to, it was Alanis' turn to close. One of the reasons whyI liked Alanis when she first came out was because she was, well, different. She wasn't like all of the other pop divas out there. But with her new album and image, I'd have to say that she's a little bit too mainstream now, which is sort of disappointing. Regardless, I still loved her. She did a lot of songs from Jagged Little Pill, which I think most people would agree is her best album. She also did some of my favorite songs from her more recent albums, like "So Pure" and "Thank You" and "Uninvited." Ah, and she encored with "You Learn"... it was so great! Everyone was singing along... I had forgotten how great her first album is! ::BigGrin:: Oh how I love concerts.

You have to go see Harold and Kumar go to White Castle! It was so freaking hilarious... and you always have to love the typical asian stereotypes. Or is it only funny to me because I'm asian? :) Anyway it is a must see, it definitely gets two thumbs up from me. Go see it an support your fellow asians!!!
ps: did I mention that John Cho is cute?

In other news, Bond, a female string quartet, will be playing at BB Kings this monday and tuesday. In case you have never heard of them, they are a fabulous group of young talented women that play classical music with a twist. The shows will start at 8 pm both nights, and tickets are $20.50 in advance. Anyone want to go? Plleeaasseeee????

still looking for a place... It's hard to comeback to a place where everyone has changed, including yourself. I feel like I have to rediscover myself and my friends every summer, and every winter vacation. I have to figure out where I fit in all over again. I guess it just enforces the age old rule that change is inevitable. Too bad I'm not big on change.

Yo! You have to check out "The APL Song" by The Black Eyed Peas... it's about being filipino! Which is just cool by my standards. I'll write a further review on it later, but until then you can check it out on launch radio
