looking back at 2008, i notice that there were more 5 ♥-rated shows than any other year. the nominees are (in chronological order): starting in march 2008,
jens lekman gets two 5 ♥ ratings. next up in october,
stars scores a 5 ♥ rating at the
fillmore. then we have
lykke li at the
independent and
she & him at the
fillmore. and finally, the
rosebuds at the
independent. all three of those in november.
and the artist with the
best show in 2008 is...
jens lekman. he won two 5 ♥ ratings and i think the best show was his at the
bottom of the hill. it was very special. intimate, awesome sound, and the cherry on top, an unsolicited hug from jens after the show. *sigh*
in second place is... stars. i've seen them 7 times now and they just get better and better. the
fillmore show was quite fantastic. i just wished we got fillmore posters for that show.
runners up are lykke li, rosebuds and she & him. they were fabulous shows in their own individual ways. funny, i went to all of these shows with ro. he must be a factor in the 5 ♥ ratings. ;)
speaking of she & him, a little gossip for fans (but you probably already know)... i read that zooey deschanel is engaged to ben gibbard from death cab (congrats!). i didn't even know they were dating!
last weekend, i got my hair cut. shorter, flippy, with a different part, complete with bangs. specifically bitch bangs, is what my hairdresser calls them.
i also got transition lenses in case i find myself wearing them in broad daylight, as they will most likely only be worn at night between the removal of my contact lenses and bed. that might be 20 minutes a day.
