I was at last night's Tori Amos show at the Met.

Also got a solo opening set from Bartees Strange, who I really like and did not expect to be on the bill for this gig.

Just got back from seeing Pavement at the Dell Music Center, which was extremely difficult to get to.  So much so that I missed the majority of the set from Ratboys, who I had really been looking forward to seeing.  The event was hosted by former Philadelphia Eagles player Connor Barwin, and it was part of a festival called Make the World Better Festival.  

Stephen Malkmus's daughter will be attending Drexel, and she got onstage with her rockstar dad.

I was concerned about driving myself home and nearly left early, but had to stay because they closed with "Summer Babe" and "Here,” which are essential listening.
