Annuals - Hot Night Hounds

Yesterday was fantastic. Usually I don't write about any one day in particular, and I like it that way and will continue to keep it that way. But I really just need to stress how wonderful yesterday was. With that said, I am so happy with the amount of music that is consuming my life. It's a bummer that I don't have as much art in my life, like photography and drawing and all that good stuff, but the art of music is treating me so well lately. I've only gone to three concerts since being here, but that's three concerts basically once concert per month and that's more than I've ever seen/done. So it was Iron&Wine and The Swell Season, Ben Folds, and Annuals and Minus the Bear. Oh, and Anthony Green! I should have gone to The Mountain Goats and Kaki King, My Morning Jacket and Conor Oberst, but I'm dumb. And lastly, I could kick myself forever for not seeing Sigur Ros with Kristin. What is my problem? But let's not focus on what could have been.


Annuals - check Anna making love to the keyboard. Perfect. Oh! Another reason why yesterday was so great: as soon as I walked into the venue "Return of Innocence" by Enigma came on the speakers and I just stopped in my tracks and freaked out with joy! Such a lovely start to a lovely evening.


And these sweet headphones I bought from Urban. Way too expensive, yes, but so worth every penny. I'm using them right now and I can't even hear my fingers press the buttons. It might just be because my iPod headphones broke and sounded incredibly shitty, but the sound is amazing. I'm not even bummed on the obnoxious color. I think it's kind of cool, actually.

Tomorrow night, Marquee is having Matsiyahu, and in a few weeks they'll be having WuTang. Excited girl, I am! So now I just need to see Band of Horses, Sigur Ros, Josh Ritter and Iron & Wine again to be completely satisfied with this school year.

I'll leave you with this. The audio and video sucks, but it gets the point across that they are great live and have so much energy:
