So i walked to work  today like I do often. It was a beautiful day, a bit hot but I’m not complaining. On my way I walked past a psychic shop, which i have passed many times before. As i walked past i hearde..”Hey, Hey you, commere I wanna talk to you” I turned around and it was the lady from the psychic shop…perhaps the psychic herself? I smiled at her and offered her a good day, But continued on my way. Im a pretty happy upbeat person, she may have seen my positive energy around me! ( I have the gift of seeing auras, but have never shouted at someone when seeing them!)  I just didnt want to be asked for money :)  Interesting tidbit in my otherwise usual day!

Ok, so I saw Brandi Carlile play at The Electric Factory in Philadelphia on monday 10/01/07. Let me start with the obvious, I really like listening to Brandi sing. Her voice captivates me, I WANT to listen! Brandi in concert was amazing, no doubt, but I left still a little dissappointed. At one point before she sang “Josephine” there was a slight problem with Phil’s guitar, so there was awkward silence. I actually saw clips of other shows where she entertained the audience during technical difficulties, so I didn’t understand why she sat there quiet while the problem was fixed! Also, I had bought these tickets in July, I was hyped up to finally see her, but I didn’t think she brought her best. Nothing against her, she just seemed a little out of it. Another thing that bothered me.

On her well known song “THE STORY” she changed a word. Maybe other people didn’t notice but I did. I wont directly say what it is, but if you are a fan and go to her shows you know what I’m talking about. To me it changed the whole meaning of the song. She played a few new songs that were good, and I will keep listening.

This video clip is from her show in Dallas at the House of Blues on 9/20/07. She sang this version of  “The Story” in Philadelphia as well. I wonder who she’s “Selling” her stories to?
