Saw Vienna Teng live tonight for the second time, at the Hotel Cafe. She played a very nice set, all of the best songs from her "Dreaming Through the Noise" album, as well as great rearrangements of songs like "Gravity" (with a great transition into "Unwritten Letter No. 1") and "Harbor." She still didn't quite sound as on as her Live at Little Fox recording (one day, hopefully, I'll attend a Vienna concert that long), but I don't think I'll ever be able to be not-in-NorCal and hear her perform like that. :D
One day, I'd like to hear the source of her inspiration for songs like "Blue Caravan" and "Whatever You Want" (she claims it's for Milton from Office Space, but there's a deeper, real reason, I'm sure of it). Maybe I'll drop her an e-mail or something.
