A few shows ago I mentioned that I'd be seeing Jay Som at the Rickshaw Stop and low and behold! It was amazing and the Rickshaw remains my favorite venue so far in the city. Like at TV Girl, the show was still intimate but a bit more packed than before. I believe it should be equated to Jay Som's following in the Bay Area since the lead singer hails straight from Oakland.

I think that it's a whole other experience when you hear the songs you've been listening to in your headphones for the first time live. Before I step foot into the venue that night I was stuck on the fact that I was finally going to see "The Bus Song" live. I thought I might finally fulfill the longing to experience my favorite song of the month in person.

And it was like that, I won't lie. My skin tingled and I felt so very vulnerable listening to Melina belt out those words. But another thing that caught me off guard was hearing their album's title song that I hadn't paid much attention to initially. "Everybody Works" to me now is essentially three songs in one with three different feelings. I know it's probably not that deep - to be changed by experiencing a show live - but it was refreshing to enter and leave the venue with different feelings and favorites.
