i'm fucking MAGIC! i wanted it to not snow so badly, that it didn't snow. you're welcome, everyone.
speaking of magic...robyn was just as magical the second time around. i just saw him at the sellersville theatre tonight. i rushed over right after work to get a ticket and i was fortunate to get the last front row seat left, all the way on the end. it was perfect, because even though they have cabaret seating in front of the rows of seats, no one showed up to claim the table directly in front of me so i had a clear view all evening. i was also pleased to see a handful of people there that i knew, and everyone i spoke to after the show was equally as impressed with his performance. i'm still kind of in awe of his...just...his being. it's kind of hard to explain. but i feel like he's on a whole other plane of existence which explains the absurdity of some of the lyrics in his songs and the things he says on stage. i don't know. it's so hard to look away from him, too. i'm just really glad i saw him twice. it was a different set this night; some of the songs were the same, like he opened with "the abyss" both times, and he did "i often dream of trains" and "my wife and my dead wife" and "adventure rocket ship" and "only the stones remain" on both nights, but he only did "n.y. doll" saturday night and he only did "the wreck of the arthur lee" tonight. which was cool, a tribute to arthur kane one night, and a tribute to arthur lee on another night. he certainly has great taste in music, as witnessed by those two songs, and his cover choices. leonard cohen, dylan, townes van zandt, and bowie all happened tonight. he's a wonderful creature and i hope someone out there reads this and decides to see him sometime because you most definitely will not regret it.
OH YEAH and some amazing human recorded saturday night's performance and you can listen to the whole thing HERE.
