Potentially awesome band...
Okay...so I suffered myself to watch SNL last night...
*bangs head on wall*
...hosted by Paris Hilton
*bangs head some more*
BUT...
It also featured musical group Keane, which was the highlight of the entire hour and a half.
Wow.
Yeah.
A British-rock trio with a base instrument of...
...piano!
Score.
Score one for being British.
Score one for using piano instead of guitar.
Score one for having a kickass single (or many).
Score one for having a looking-to-be kickass album.
Can't wait!
It might rival the Garden State soundtrack in playing time in my CD player. Along with eighty numbered streets. Which I would have had an artist-guessing contest, but I'm going to go on in the next sentence or paragraph about said artist.
In my email the other day, I got an email titled "Sam Shabuary!" Yeah! Sam is touring the midwest again...but unfortunately, nowhere I can realistically access on short notice (Joe?).

(ahh...perfect. except it's in minnesota. which might be hard to get to. damnit!)

And the best part is, she's playing a whole bunch of new songs and stuff, and we'd be allowed to record the concert because we're not sure when the next CD will be released. Damnit! I wanna go!
If you're in any of the aforementioned places, you should seriously go listen to Sam Shaber. She's awesome.

So there's my good deed for the day. Go hear Sam Shaber. And listen to Keane. And of course, the Garden State soundtrack, for which Emily so correctly identified the title quote from (but Matt was a very close second). Yea for that soundtrack!! And yea for good music!
But boo for Sunday nights and doing homework. :)
