janelle monae

NPR introduced me to her about a year ago and she is amazing. She just did a version with B.O.B. but i don't like it. Watch the original version with Big Boi here. I love everything about this video.

i'm yours

I've heard a million versions of this song, and tons from Jason himself, but this clip is one of my favorites because it's clean, clear, and just plain awesome.

rain, a tribute to the beatles

On Friday, at Bacchus, my friend told me about Rain, the tribute band to the Beatles. He had a few extra tickets for the last performance today, and I took his offer up. A group of us went to see it this afternoon at the Orange County Performing Arts Center, and it was so much fun!! Rain is a group of guys that impersonate the Beatles and I found myself thinking I am so lucky to see this. I missed the Beatles live, and to have this opportunity to see this is amazing. They are impeccable! Every single song that I love the most by the Beatles was played, so it's only natural that I was on my feet for most of the performances. They did A Day in a Life [my absolute favorite], I Saw Her Standing There [my mum's fave], Come Together, and of course, all the other hits like Let It Be, Imagine, ending with Hey Jude.

After the show, we were still raving about the performances and the songs. Kanin wanted to do a jumping shot to commemorate this event, but the ushers were not happy about us doing it inside the theatre. We took it outside, and I have to say, I am quite impressed with us!! Boys against girls!!

Although we were going to the theatre, it was 90 degrees out so many were in shorts and flip flops. It's CA after all! But for me, I always love dressing up to go to the theatre. I just have to find the lightest dress!

gorgeous sunday afternoon
