so, the show... i have seen the girls many times, but only one other time when it was only them, without a band. so few artists actually sound better live, free from production room magic. and even though these two have been trucking for a long time, they still sound terrific.
between songs it would become completely silent. so people randomly shouted out requests, which they would play. i flipped thru my mental ipod trying to think of something to holler. for some reason, "caramia" came to mind - definitely one of my favorite songs, but a song that really needs a band, not something they would play acoustic. anyhoo, i poo-pooed my own idea and just decided to stay quiet. until, i had more to drink, and then had a little more to drink, and near the end of the show, that song came barfing out of my mouth at one quiet moment - said it like a total smart ass. and emily fucking responded - she went on for minutes, i'm sure :) she said something like, "oh, god! what a train wreck that would be, we've never done that one, just the two of us... ahh, the train wrecks of our lives." she had mentioned before that they are working on a holiday album, and then said that (train wrecks of our lives) should be one of the song titles. i'm not making this shit up.
after the show, we lingered. mostly because we were too wobbly to move just yet, and we figured amy was going to come and make out with us. the foxy aunt clare lady who brings them their guitars threw me the song list, which i'm sure they fondled profusely.
one of my favorite song surprises was worldfalls. a favorite that someone requested was watershed. and there's something so right about the line - "i heard that you were drunk and mean down at the dairy queen"
