Looking forward to seeing these guys next weekend :
Been listening to a lot from Sara Bareilles' latest work. A couple of odd soundtracks from video games including the Fire Emblem Fates OST has been keeping me going as well. Looking forward to getting the official one in the mail sometime next month.
Does that have anything to do with her performance at the White House State Dinner this week?
A little bit. I've also just been catching up on some CDs I'd bought a while back and haven't listened to too frequently since getting them. Waitress has some pretty solid music in there, and I love the emotion Sara puts into her music. EDIT: Anecdotally, she's tied with Ben Folds as my favorite singer-songwriter. Seeing these guys play in concert is amazing because of how damn upbeat, off-the-cuff, and outright genuine they feel.
I do not think I actually had heard of her until this week. And then when you said "tied with Ben Folds", who is awesome, I thought you were going to say they were buddies or collaborators and thought OMG how out of touch am I? I will check her out. Thanks.
