all the gold dust in her eyes won’t reform into rain
One of the awesome things I got for my birthday was The Last Kiss soundtrack. According to the sticker on the CD cover it is "music selected by Zach Braff (Garden State)." I think it's so funny how marketers try to use old stuff to make you buy new stuff. Like with movies when it says "from the producers who brought you..." and really it's the studio that brought you that movie and really there is no connection besides the deep pockets. I don't think that's the case with this CD since Zach is totally the type to be all up in the soundtrack's grill, but he didn't actually write The Last Kiss so I'm curious.
However, back in the day when I would refresh refresh refresh over and over and over again Zach Braff's Garden State blog* waiting WAITING for him to post about how he reads all the comments, swoon, and about other things too like wrapping up filming or being famous or whatevs, I remember that he definitely mentioned Joshua Radin. Oh, look, there it is on the front page. Anyway, I went to Josh's myspace and was all swoony but since that was years ago I didn't have iTunes yet and never got his CD. Stupid.
*Remember 2004 when I was all up in Garden State's grill? Oh, 2004. WOW.
Fast forward to now where Josh is all over the soundtrack (evidence supporting ZB (Garden State)'s involvement, I suppose) and he is SO GOOD. I threw his songs onto a mix over the weekend and I love him. He's croony. So then I was thinking that it would be cool to see him in concert (in September of course) because I don't go to enough concerts and I really want to change that. Interestingly enough, my buddy Josh is going to be here this weekend. It's like it was meant to be.
Except TicketMaster was selling the tickets so maybe it wasn't. Because a $17.50 ticket suddenly became a $30 ticket BECAUSE THAT IS HOW MUCH IN FEES WAS ADDED.
So, Joshua, have fun this weekend playing to the home crowd, I'm sorry I won't be there. I have to take care of myself and also save some money. But that doesn't mean I love you, okay?

The fees piss me off! It makes me not want to go to shows because the prices are pretty outrageous. I was hoping to go see Ray LaMontagne but with the fees it's close to $40. I've already seen him in concert so I can't justify it. (Personal rule.)
I KNOW. i feel like there must be some way to take a stand? google project for later.
