 Over the last few months, I've really become a big fan of Perth boy Tim Minchin. Of all the ways I could have really looked into his music, I was reminded of my desire to look into it by a co-worker of mine here in Vancouver.

Being relevant to my interests, I found out he was playing in Seattle, and was initially in a quandary, since it was at the same time as another show that Elizabeth wanted to see on the other side of Seattle. Thankfully he put on a second show, so we both went to the one Elizabeth wanted to see on Friday, then I went to Tim's show last night.

So I spent my Saturday night in the Neptune Theater of Seattle, with about 600 other people, watching the son of a high school friend of my mother's as he played:

• Rock and roll nerd
• Cont / context (Unreleased)
• If I didn't have you
• Thank you god (Unreleased)
• Lullaby
• Prejudice
• The Pope song
• Confessions
• Storm
• Darkside
• Take me home country roads (short)
• I will survive (short)
• White wine in the sun
• Hallelujah

He's an incredibly talented musician and pianist, and has amazing comic timing too. In the stilted timings of a guest of Adventure World in the early 2000s: "It was really good."

*nods* Yeah that's standard, but he's being touring with an orchestra of late which is really cool.

Oh and Cont & Thank You God are on his CD "Live at the O2"
