you all should like him

he's the best b.k. since burger king
we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

He's better than Burger King. They blew my mind live. I went to an OLP show and was given two Ben Kweller tickets for free, so I decided to go to the concert for the hell of it, because it was only 20 minutes from me. I went, and I was amazed. Yeah, and Ben Kweller gave my ex Brandy his phone number, which was kinda odd to say the least.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

I love Ben Kweller more than you can imagine. He's so awesome. I've seen him live twice, he's so sweet. Awwwwww. He has the cutest voice ever. I absolutely adore Ben Kweller.
songs I reccomend:
How It Should Be (sha sha)
In Other Words
Falling
Sweater Song (weezer cover, i think you can only d/l a live version)
Next Time
I Don't Know Why

And every other song.
don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

this show was freaking awesome. it was a headlining show after several dates opening for the strokes. awesome. and the opener, adam green, was hilarious. his cd is great.
