Find Yourself Another Place to Fall ~ KT Tunstall's Amazing

Wow, it has been awhile since I last blogged! Here's my reasoning in a nutshell:

1.) Nothing all that interesting has happened in my life of late

2.) I got absolutely SWAMPED in homework cause I'm in grade 12 (which, not gonna lie, is a lot harder than grade 11 was)

3.) I was in my school's fringe festival during one week, which succeeded in making more homework pile up because of performance and rehearsal

So yeah that's where I've been dissapearing off to! :? Anyways, I have a little bit of a break now before I need to start studying for finals, and some interesting things have happened as well. First of all I got an 96% on my english ISU essay, which we've been working on for pretty much the entire year. The thing is, that I don't even enjoy english cla.ss because I am a science person! So let's just say that the fact that english isn't my lowest mark kind of blows my mind.

The second (and much cooler) thing that happened was that I saw the wonderfully talented KT Tunstall live last night! Now, some people when they perform live sound flat or off key, KT however sounded great. Her voice sounds almost exactly like it does on her albums (and yes she was actually singing I could tell, she modified some songs etc.) not once did she in any way mess up vocally. Not only was she singing, but she was also playing one of her many guitars at the same time. What really impressed me the most was how, during some songs she would record some of her own backup vocals and background sounds (like knocking on her guitar) using a device on stage she controlled with her feet, then set the sounds to repeat. It was really cool, and I wish I could multitask like that! Her band was wonderful too, the guys were all equally talented with multiple instruments (including the triangle, best instrument ever) and all of them were proficient with the tambourine. Last but not least, she was an extremely entertaining performer cracking quite a few jokes which had me laughing (including about how she had been informed by the management that there was a bat in the auditorium), the best of which was the random fact moment. So yeah, it was a privelege to see one of my all time favourite artists live, especially one who's base is in the UK (and here I am in Canada) and to get such a good show out of her.

Oh and the sound levels weren't deafening so I could actually appreciate the music instead of the nasty sounds of my ears being pounded to death, and since there was assigned seating people sat down and I could SEE!! (I'm like 5 foot 3, so people standing in front of me doesn't really go down so well). So all in all it was an amazing night!! I highly recommend anyone to go see her live, you won't regret it! :D

Thanks for bearing with me on this novel of a blog!
