Strange New Music

I just went to a live concert of Pink Martini, with the San Francisco Symphony. It was my aunt Meghan's idea, and my colleague Jon (a fifth-year staying next year, who dragged me to ballroom dancing once) came with me and her and Ben and four of Ben's friends. I swear I haven't been so amazed by my own enjoyment of a concert since seeing my first Noteables concert, and that was spring 2005.

It is vocal chamber music with salsa dancing (OK, maybe swing and tango and such actually, I'm not a good judge)! What could go wrong?

( Review, babble )

In conclusion, there was not a moment of the show when I felt tired, and it was so mixed up, I think their name really suits them. Before I heard them live, I just didn't understand. And maybe it will seem less amazing in the morning, but I doubt it, since everyone really enjoyed it. But also since I am music-drunk I am writing this on the train home to post as soon as I have Internet access.

Wheeeeee! And to think that I had been mystified by their CDs before. Must...listen...to...more...
