all i want for xmas redux

seriously what is not to love about this vid. mariah. the roots. jimmy fallon. really cute kids. dare i say cuter than that little gal that sang the tune in love actually.  needless to say you're welcome.

sve on late night

sharon rocking her new tune "serpents" from her forthcoming album, tramp (if you couldn't read the cue cards).

iron and wine encore

best encore: iron & wine on late night with jimmy fallon. i was pleasantly surprised with entrance confirmation to the band stand seats for sam's set. sorry i still haven't mastered clear pics of tickets. anyhoot, it was a treat to see sam again on the day of the release of around the well.

he sang a new tune "godless brother in love". it was quite appropriate to have his sister, sarah, singing back-up. i was front and kinda center on the band stand directly behind sam. look for the bespectacled lady in a red top over sam's right shoulder. saki, i'm wearing your top. it's like you were there. mollie was really there standing to my right.

belated realization: iron and wine played sun god. holy heck. my alma mater got sam to play sun god. dude, they didn't have cool bands when i attended. this year they not only had sam gracing the fine stage on rimac field, but they freakin' got n.e.r.d. and girl talk too.

missed cover: iron and wine covering new order's "love vigilantes". i guess that's why it took them a while to get us in the studio.
