dc just redeemed itself somewhat. i just got home from the jones street station/watson twins/ben kweller concert and it was AMAZING. small venue, cheap drinks, an indie atmosphere. My coworker grace came with me even though she hadn't heard of any of the bands and she loved it too, so yay!!!!

luckily he played more of his old stuff than his new stuff because i'm not a huge fan of ben kweller's newest album--it is a little too country--but i am obsessed with his previous 3 albums. and the watson twins only have 1 album and and i love it. i had never heard of the other band, they are newish and from ny and great.

i recommend jones street to everyone because the more i listen to their stuff the better it is. i'm a big dork so as soon as i got home i looked them up. the lead singer reminds me of vaughn--same hair, same smile, same mannerisms, and the guitar player reminds me of brett. maybe it is because i'm drunk, maybe because i'm in a reminiscent mood, or maybe because they really are similar.

even better death cab for cutie is coming to town the beginning of april, and they are good, but opening is COLD WAR KIDS, who i missed in philly and it has been killing me ever since.

grace and i went to happy hour before the concert and we found about 10 concerts we want to go to in the next few months. so i might still be upset about the way things have turned out and not living up to my expectations, but at least i have live music.
