Went to the Arts Festival with my brother today. Ben Lee opened for Aimee Mann. Ben Lee is not so good. He plays this very shallow, 'sensitive' music. It's so empty, soulless and pathetic. It's so obviously music to impress girls. Boo, Ben Lee.

Aimee Mann was really good. She may have leaned too heavily on her current album but that's understandable. Aimee Mann came across as a genuinely nice person. She'd be cool to hang out with. She introduced Save Me from Magnolia as a song that lost the Oscar to Phil Collins' "Cartoon-monkey-love song". The high point of her set was the final song--Deathly. It finished with her guitar player, who looked remarkably like Johnny Damon, wailing away. It was the perfect way to end a set.
