I don’t care for your fairytales

Although I’m in the depths of school work and it is a constant comparison of who has more books piled and papers being printed, a few of my friends and I found time to relax the other day with a concert. For those of you in Tdot, Irving Plaza is very similar to the Phoenix Concert Theater. Open venue, all standing, drinks, intimate, all though you are packed like sardines. The concert we saw was Sara Bareilles, most well known for her music video “Love Song”, but now one of my fav’s for her songs "fairytale" (where the blog title comes from), "gravity", "many the miles"…I really could go on and on basically listing the entire cd. Sadly, she is still on cd one, putting cd two out soon soon, so she says!!
There is something about seeing a musician perform their songs in person that you fall more in love with their music and I have fallen way deeper for her music. Not to mention that she brought some wicked openers, David Ford (from the UK) and Rachel Yamagata (seriously amazing!!). Two new cds I will be getting. I just wanted you guys to know that yes I am really lame with my busy school life (count down to May 6…for a two week break), but I am still getting out (a bit).
