At presentations, Steve often says that the work Apple does "is all about the music." Music brings so much joy in our lives. It really is something that makes me very happy, and I'm glad it's becoming a bigger part of my life thanks to iTunes and the iPod. The new iTunes commercial is so amazing I hope everyone sees it online or on TV this weekend. "Lose Yourself" to the music.

Last weekend I went through every one of my physical CDs and made sure I had ripped them to my computer. I found plenty of great artists and albums that for whatever reason, I had never ripped to my iPod, and therefore hadn't heard in years! I rediscovered incredible tunes that I had loved in high school and college. It was a great feeling to listen to those albums again.

Speaking of music, I saw Green Day last night at the Warfield. I saw them a couple weeks ago at SBC and they are an amazing band live, and I couldn't pass up the chance to see them in a 2k person venue. Tickets sold out in about 15 seconds. I was hitting refresh a million times at ticketmaster, got the screen to buy tickets, mistyped the word verification, and missed!

Avi and Paul were also buying tickets and of course, between the three of us we got two tickets. The show was super strict on trying to avoid scalping so it was 2 tix per person max, pick up in person, will call only, pick up tickets and go DIRECTLY into the show. Basically, there was almost zero scalping.

Avi is totally awesome and let me go to the show with Paul. I owe him BIG. Thanks Avi! I guess Green Day decided to do this Warfield show at the last minute because they wanted to film it for a DVD or something. The whole show was being captured by several cameras, and they played for THREE HOURS. It was incredible!

The Warfield is the best venue I've ever seen, and Green Day is the best band I've ever seen live (even when I saw them three years ago, it was the best show I had ever seen).

Maybe we'll be able to buy the concert on the iTunes movie store. One day :)
