I didn’t get to see fireworks this year, so this video from Death Cab’s show last night at the Hollywood Bowl (with the L.A. Philharmonic) will do real well. This is undeniably beautiful and kinda made me get a lump in my throat for some reason. Maybe because the fireworks exhibit what my insides do with especially stinging renditions of great songs, with those swooping strings.

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson
Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.

I was there and it was so beautiful and fantastic! They also played this beautiful version of “I’ll Follow You Into the Dark” with a great harp accompaniment.
