jose gonzalez at spiegeltent was simply amazing. my favorite was his version of kylie minogue's hand on your heart... i melt a little every time i hear that one. i thought his concert might be more of a sit-down affair, but the spiegeltent was a good match for his melancholy tone.

and feist (with broken social scene) at the mccarren pool in green point was lots of fun. what a great venue, and a strong live performer!

oh, and speaking of green point, the rumor is that the hakata ramen chain ichiran is opening a shop in williamsburg in a month or so. i'm hoping it's true! i wonder if they'll still have those silly curtains to block everyone's view from each other. i can't really see new yorkers being too timid to order an extra helping of noodles. there was a sceptical preview in new york magazine, but they don't really know anything. mmmm... i can't wait for some of that spicy tonkotsu goodness...
