The beauty of Australia.

*Note to The Todd, this post contains some chilling details about my love of a certain singer that you think deserves "shovel justice" please don't see it as a huge failing in character*

One of the great thing about living in Australia is that some of your favourite bands come here and aren't incredibly popular, so when they perform in a small venue you can get there 10 minutes before the concert starts and still be 5 feet from the stage.

A few weeks ago I was having a shitty day and I decided last minute that TFG and I should go to a Mraz concert going on that night. Mraz was his usual funny and entertaining self, but every time he stopped talking the audience would holler out names of songs they wanted him to play. The poor man felt like a bloody jukebox! While I felt bad, I couldn't help it and I yelled out "Please play I'm Yours!!!"

Since this little ditty of his is only available on one of his first EP's, he was understandably surprised and looked at me and said "seriously?!" and I of course jumped up and down like a giddy school girl.
He came back out for the encore and said "I'm gonna play a little hippy song about love"
I screamed.
Embarrassingly so.
As soon as he started singing I turned around and started making out with TFG, as this is a song we normally dance and make out to in our kitchen.
Little did I know that Mraz and his drummer were staring at us and were quite impressed. There was a certain level of whooping and hollering and it made me feel a tad silly, but I didn't care.

As we were leaving the concert I saw that I could sneak up to the van and probably rock it all the way into the backstage area if I could play it cool enough. Since I would never have the ovaries to pull that off I settled for a note on a paper bag put under the rear windshield wiper.

Greatest. Night. Ever.


If you are keen to see/hear the song, through the glory of youtube it is available here (could I recommend that you put it on and minimize? he looks rather constipated while singing)
So what song makes you think of the person you love/d?
