Rapture

The Magnetic Fields concert was last night.  It was worth every penny.  I laughed, I cried, I was just blown away.  They played songs from almost every album and the songs from the new album, "Distortion" were played acoustic so they sounded much better.  Like they are supposed to sound.  I've decided they are better in concert than on the CD's.  From my balcony seat I couldn't really make out the faces of the band members, but my view was not obstructed.  It was a highly entertaining show with much witty banter and the horribly depressing songs that are somehow funny that they do so well.  They did not play all of my favorites, but the highlights were "The Book of Love," any song I had never heard before, "Courtesans" and "I Wish I Had an Evil Twin."  Oh, and "Yeah!  Oh Yeah!"  I mean, they were all good, but those were especially good.  Best concert ever, I'm so glad I went.  I can't even describe further what I felt and how it was to experience.  It was just rapture.  

In other news, today was the first real rainy day I've experienced since moving here.  It rained off and on last night and all day today.  I walked home in the rain.  It was wonderful.  Everyone was happy because we definitely needed rain.  In other, other news, I ate a frozen Three Musketeers bar while writing this.  Yep, I'm living the good life.
