Lower East Side Leah

Leah Siegel show last night at the living room on ludlow. An all cover-tunes, listener-suggestion-via-web site show. Very cool, if more casual than usual.

Some of the bitchen tuneage:

Cinnamon Girl - Neil Young

Heart of Glass - Blondie

a Ray LaMontagne song i don't know the title of but it was beautiful and heartbreaking and leah did it virtually perfectly.

War Pigs - Black Sabbath. That's right folks, she did a heavy metal anti-war anthem. That scored on so many levels!

I have to share one little anecdote - on my way to the subway after the gig, i overheard two women talking. Pretty cute, i'm guessing early twenties, one of them says to the other: "Yeah, he's sooo dumb, i can't hang out with him. But he's a model, you know? And i have to say, when he took his shirt off, and i touched him, i was SO EXCITED. It was like 'Oh! This is what a guy feels like.'"

I found that rather amusing.

Oh, here is the link to the Galapagos photos i mentioned yesterday. I don't think that the blog lets you just click on the link - i think you'll have to copy it and paste it into the address bar. Then plug in the password: it's 'scuba' Enjoy. They are really fantastic!

I will join you. It can't be missed. These photos are beautiful! How did she not get frightened by a SCHOOL of hammerheads?
