Marcy planned a super awesome surprise for me last night.. She took me to Concrete Frequency: Songs of the City at the Walt Disney Music Hall.. It was an amazing lineup with 14 musicians, each of which sang two songs. The songs were supposed be around the theme “Songs of the City,” and each artist was encouraged to talk a little bit about each song. Nobody had a full band — most just had a guitar or piano as accompaniment, and when they weren’t performing, everyone was just sitting around the stage on a bunch of sofas.

It was a really awesome show — my favorites were Sondre Leche, Money Mark, Marc Bianchi, and Zooey Deschanel…

Before the show, I was berated for taking a picture of the stage, but alas, someone was able to snag a recording of Zooey’s song and posted it to YouTube.

hooray for the internets!

Zooey is supposedly working on an album with M. Ward, that should launch sometime this year… In the meantime, here’s a few songs from seeqpod:

Anyway.. thanks Marcy for a super super night. xoxo.
