strict joy.

Sunday night was one of the most amazing nights of my summer thus far.  taking in the cool night air, spending time with a good friend, and hearing some of the best music was absolutely incredible.

Zooey Deschanel is the most adorable thing ever! She wore the cutest girlish green dress, with a great silver sequenced belt, black tights, black flats, and danced around the stage like a five year old, banging a tambourine, impressing everyone with her extraordinary vocal abilities.  she has penned the most beautiful heartfelt songs i've ever heard, and enjoying them live was unforgettable! she&him's cover of 'you really got a hold on me,' 'roll over beethoven,' and 'i put a spell on you' were outstanding! m. ward was nothing short of amazing!

the Swell Season! what can i say? i am in love. they were completely humble, beautiful, charming souls, that harmonize amazingly, sing with such love, i just sat there completely in awe! glen hansard is one of the most passionate singer/guitar players i've ever heard. and marketa irglova is the sweetest thing i've ever encountered in a venue as large as the hollywood bowl.
i was completely impressed and ecstatic with how respectful and enraptured with the show, a crowd of 17,000 people were. ah-mazing!!!!
love this # best...from their most recent album...strict joy!
