i should be outlining.
Apr. 27th, 2007 11:55 ami wrote this in my crim pro outline on tuesday night...and i think it's the best passage i've put into an outline, ever:
"generally, a defendant can only invoke the exclusionary rule to keep out evidence obtained through violation of his own rights—not someone else's (Alderman v. U.S.).
specifically, this rule holds for confessions. if Wesley Willis implicates Kris Kringle in a rash of stolen Studebakers during a non-Mirandized confession, it can be used in the trial of Kris Kringle."
i think i wrote this right after listening to either "i jacked your car" or "kris kringle was a car thief." or both.

in other news, i'm in a blissful state of concert hangover. my neck hurts from headbanging, my voice is ragged from singing and screaming, my ears are ringing, but i wouldn't have it any other way.
last night was the blue october show at the pageant...and it was fantastic. they are a band who is made to be seen live. they're quite good recorded, but live, the music is so much more raw, so much more energetic. if they come through town again, if i ever have the chance to see them again, i'm going--no matter what.
and, the lead singer has one of the sexiest, most amazing singing voices i have ever heard. tape, digital recording, whatever...none of that does it justice at all. it's always so wonderful, and so refreshing, to see a band who doesn't need sneaky little production tricks to sound good. it's always amazing to see a band who clearly realises that music is made to be heard live, and see a band who really can deliver the goods when playing live, with all the pretense of recording stripped away. i learned last night that blue october is one of those bands...they're one of the best live bands i've ever seen.
***
on a less specific, though still related, topic...i hadn't been to a real concert in way too long. i don't remember, but i think the last time i went somewhere for the sake of listening to some live music was back in september of 2005 (!), when i saw escape from earth at off broadway. this is a testament to law school eating my life...it's a testament to my inability to get around town late at night...it's a testament to me having neither the time nor inclination to go out and see live music...and it's a shame. i'm embarrassed and ashamed that it took me that long to get out to another show. i'm never going to let that happen again, because live music is good for me. it makes me feel good. it gets me back in touch with my emotions. it's something i need to shake me out of my automaton state...and it's a need i can't deprive myself of, like i did, any longer.
