Music is a big part of my life. Depending on my mood, some songs really speak to my heart. I can’t imagine going through my day without some tune in my ear. Whether its at the gym, studying, working, commuting, I always seem to be listening to something. Having an iPhone helps to keep tunes on hand at all times.
Yep, I saw Barenaked Ladies live again, this time in a closer and more personal environment. They were playing at lunch on Tuesday at First Canadian Place. Lucky my lunch meeting got cancelled.
Set List:
I also got their new album for $10 since they were signing autographs after the show!
I said to Ed Robertson, “literally grew up listening to you guys.” He replied, “Haha, yep, so did we.”
Went on Wedenesday to see Jersey Boys at the Toronto Centre for the Arts. It was awesome! I loved the stories and I was suprised at the number of songs I recognized. Of course, the highlight was “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You.” Thoroughly entertaining!
CTV had an Olympics Celebration in Nathan Philips Square in downtown Toronto last weekend. Barenaked Ladies were there! Caught favourites such as ‘One Week’, ‘Pinch Me’ and ‘Too Little Too Late’. It was my first time seeing them live, and it was awesome. They’re a fun bunch of guys and improv a lot into their songs and what they say on stage. If anyone was there that day, “Out of Tong Sune!!!” I loved their songs growing up!
Fun Fact: They formed in 1988 (my birth year!) in Scarborough, ON
This past Friday, got the chance to check out Yen’s high school friends’ band, One Fell Swoop, at the El Mocambo Tavern at College/Spadina. Their music was pretty awesome, pop/rock-ish. The style was what I usually enjoy. And the four-person band had a harmonica AND bongo drums. Need I say more? Check out One Fell Swoop on Facebook!
