So... I'll be damned if I can find a picture of it but I know she was there. Marlee Matlin, famed deaf actress, was in the audience last night at the American Idol Finale.
I just have one question.... Who do you think she voted for?
I have not been able to get this song or video out of my head. It's so haunting.
This is the new Placebo video for "Running up that Hill" which is a cover of one of my favorite songs. The band held a contest asking people to submit themselves 'performing' the song - and now they've strung a whole bunch of submissions together creating a beautiful and haunting video.
Although I do have to say I'm still awfully fond of my favorite version. The one by Tony Award Nominated Kiki and Herb.
So I was faced with a difficult decision last week. My little brother is graduating from college on Saturday. My whole family is driving up Friday night and doing a big dinner and everything. I've opted to attend the Damien Rice concert and drive up early Saturday morning to attend the Graduation Ceremony.... I've made the right decision right?
