the dead weather.
Holy mother. Last night I went to see The Dead Weather perform at The Fillmore. It. Was. Awesome.
Excuse the non-flash photos. It’s tough trying to capture great shots with concert lighting, an average digital point-and-shoot and, oh yeah, while you’re trying to rock out. If you had seen my tweet about getting tickets to a show, this was what I was referring to. I was worried because both nights of the show were sold out and I had been desperately searching and resorted to hunting on Craigslist {I may or may not have a serious Jack White addiction}. My concern was that I had never bought tickets off there before. I got a response from a woman who said they were still available. Great! She gave me her number and I called and we arranged a meeting yesterday morning. On the phone I had asked if she was attending the show and she said she was not. Rather than being hard tickets they were printed off her computer. Hmmm. Should I be suspicious? I mean, I’m a pretty trusting person but I was about to hand over cash and I wouldn’t really know the tickets were legit until I got to The Fillmore. Anyway, I did some research and went for it. I met her yesterday morning and she told me it would be fine and that the tickets belonged to her son who was now grounded. Thank you for being a disciplinarian! Score for me! I handed her my cash. I went to the show. Got patted down. Handed over my ticket. It scanned! Success! Again, it was an amazing show. I’d definitely go again if I had tickets for tonight’s show. If you’re hitting Coachella, do not miss their performance.

gleek.
I just have to say that I am really excited that this show is back. Do you watch it?
My sister has already texted me that it’ll be airing soon {she lives in Florida}. No one tell me what happens, please. I’ll have to wait until it’s posted online tomorrow. Sometimes having no television sucks. :o(

the girls with glasses.
I saw this adorable video that Rachel and Jordan posted the other day. The Girls with Glasses Show is a project that is still in the works and is going to be what the world needs – a smart girl talk show. Brooke White and Summer Bellessa will bring this semi-variety talk show to light through humor, offer intelligent insight to fashion, entertainment, art and music. I think it sounds great!
Cute, right?
ps – the music in the video {their theme song} is an original piece that was co-written by Brooke and Summer. Brooke is on vocals and piano and Summer on drums and back-up. So talented!

animal photos.
If you and I are friends {of course we are}, you’ll know how much I adore animals. I absolutely am obsessed with Sharon Montrose‘s work and was so happy to have caught this video that Etsy put together of her.

different uke.
I don’t recall ever seeing an ‘ukulele like this back home in Hawaii…
Yes, this Apple Ukulele 4 String {$300.00} that is handmade by Celentano Woodworks is fully functional. All of the instruments in the shop can also be modified into an electric version. Awesome.
ps – check out their youtube channel for some of their instruments in use.

she & him.
Just saw this new video by She & Him for “In the Sun” off their upcoming album, Volume Two {can’t wait!}. M. Ward is great. Zooey Deschanel is incredibly adorable. I’ve never seen “High School Musical” before, but I guess that’s what it’s styled after. Whatever it is, it works for me…

a little {ok, a lot} of ray.
Who is that musician {or musicians} that you always go to time and again? When I need to feel calm. When I want to go to that moody place. When I just need some relaxing tunes. It is a small handful of musicians I count on and Ray LaMontagne has been the one who seems to always be on. In fact, I’m actually listening to him as I type this post {makes sense, right?}. So I thought I’d share some concert posters I found online from his past shows.

If you’re not already a fan, let me introduce you to a nice quality video {or 2} of him performing. If you are a fan, enjoy…

temptation.
Had to share this video {by Steve V} I found that Joanna posted regarding the psychology experiment of willpower. It’s too cute and funny not to. There’s a story about it in The New Yorker as well. Tempted?
